First AR 15 Build

[teratos]

That upper looks like he salvaged it from someones boating accident.

Enough of us have lost them in boating accidents.

 

[KIBarrister]

Looks like rust....

It is a patina. You will lose value destroying it.

Aye, there is definitely rust near the barrel nut. And a boating accident salvage would be about the only explanation that would make it cool.

 

[teratos]

I would like to change the grip. It's not very comfortable.
I like the ones that have the flare on the bottom.

You didn't stake your castle nut.

I've seen better patina on the inside of a porta potty.

There is also rust on the muzzle device too. If it was recovered from a boating accident, he didn't do the correct restoration.

Whats a castle nut?

You didn't stake your castle nut.

Is there a doctor in the house that can help him stake his nuts?

 

[DaemonAssassin]

Whats a castle nut?

The nut of the castle?

 

[MossPumper]

I wouldn't use it. I don't trust Anderson. And I am curious based on your prior comments whether it was headspaced, whether any of the parts were checked for tolerances, whether the barrel nut was torqued to spec, castle nut staked, gas port verified. The list goes on ad nauseam.

But, to each their own, and if you are happy with it, then good. It is your gun, enjoy it.

It's a wonderful firearm.

It's dirt from being used.

This thread is the gift that keeps on giving.

So you shoved it into the ground, to try to plant a freedom seed?

 

[MossPumper]

Remember nice people, the upper that is on the firearm now is not the one that will be the permanent upper.
The upper that will be placed on It is being built by a GS. Imagine that if you can in your feeble little minds.

 

[DutchV]

Anderson is not a good manufacturer?
All parts were checked and cleared for proper usage.
The Barrel nut was torqued. 2x.
The castle nut as you can see was seated.
The gas port was installed and functions as it should.

It's a wonderful firearm.

Was it checked for proper headspace ?

 

[MossPumper]

So you shoved it into the ground, to try to plant a freedom seed?

Yes sir that is exactly what I did.

You know nothing about guns. That's just how they are used. All that shooting targets nonsense the kids are doing these days.

That retired Navy chief is putting it together? Oh Lawd have mercy....

How does one "seat" a castle nut?

It's dirt from being used.

Stool, then?

Dude... F you man. Get the hell off of this forum. Been watching your snarky ******** for the last few days and i'm over it.

I come here to contribute and learn from a valuable community of enthusiasts, and some rat pecker like you comes a long to share your build and act like a jerk.

Your build looks like shit, by the way. You have to be semi-retarded to not know how to do what you did on a basic level. And judging by your grammar and explanations, seems you are.

 

[MossPumper]

Was it checked for proper headspace ?

If The Barrel and bolt are in specs why would I ever need to?.

 

[DaemonAssassin]

I know that I don't need to get the headspace checked, because headspace is the devil, mama said so.

I don't need to get anything gauged, because gauging is for those that don't believe in there (lack of) skill.

I'm just gonna slap all these random parts together and go out with my freedom seeds and scream 'MURICA at the top of my lungs and think that those guys on that forum are nuts, because the gun hasn't gone kaboom.
