At the begining of the year, before I had finished my first build, I decided to pick up a few more lowers for future builds. So now that I am done with my first build (Minus optics) it's time to start putting together my summer build. It will have a 14.5" barrel w/ pinned Flash/comp. (18" SPR coming later).
I'm trying to keep the price down and not sacrifice quality. My first rifle I spent way too much money building, around $2000 and I haven't even added optics yet. I'm thinking I want to build a rifle I can kick the ---- out of and not think twice about it. Something dependable and combat or home defense worthy. Why? Well because I can! Hahaha
I'll also keep you up to date on it's progress listing parts and pictures as I go. I hope you enjoy!

Well I was bored tonight so I got out my two spare lowers to go ahead and assembly my lower. I noticed the finish on one of them was kinda "lacking" for the lack of a better word. The finish was a really flat satin black and gritty feeling. Instead of a semi flat black and smooth like the other. Since I was planning on painting this rifle anyways I started assembling. Didn't take much to scuff the paint. So I stopped assembling, cleaned and prepped the lower and masked it off. Did the same with my rail, end plate and castle nut. I just happened to pick up paint yesterday. Ultra flat black, and ultra flat tan. I originally thought about painting it tan, with black type camo striping. But I'm going with Ultra flat tan only being I don't have the upper to color match or paint at the same time. I'm going to paint the lower, the rail, end plate , castle nut and the stock all tan leaving the upper reciever, barrel, buffer tube, grip,trigger guard,butt pad and mags black. I'll add black rail covers. If it all comes together how I think it will should be a nice mix.

Well painting looked great when I was done but I over coated it. When i put the parts on the functional parts didn't function so great and the paint chipped several places.
So I stripped it of it's parts and starting building the other lower. Some of the small parts had paint on them so I ordered new parts. Should be in this week and hope to have the complete lower built by this weekend. I also opted to buy a "I Kick Hippies" end plate to attach my sling to. I'm now saving up for the upper. I'll post new pics when the lower is finished. I'll update as I get new parts in for the upper build too.
