2011 DFWmustangs.net lower group buy

[KBScobravert]

I have a few other tips that I have already made threads about. Do a search by name here in the armory. There is one using a 1/4" clevis pin for the front take down pins. And another trick I learned from a member here of taping the rear of the receiver for a set screw to hold the spring in for the rear take down.

easiest thing to do for the bolt catch is to get it started then use vise grips with tape on the jaws to squeeze it in. Just squeze, release, tighten the grips and squeze again, then repeat until flush. Use a punch to tap the last little bit.

This method works great for the trigger guard also. Helps prevent breaking the ear off.

I just put the receiver in a vice, hold the pin with my hands, and then hit it with a punch and it will seat in there. The plier approach can damage your finish.

I figured this out after beating the crap out of my first two roll pins. Oh well, just a reason to keep buying and building. "See honey, this one is damaged"

I used a couple layers of tape and a thin hand towel to protect the finish, it worked much better for me.

Some of use don't have your skills. If I had a $50 Mosin, it would still look like a $50 Mosin.

CJ-- Did the price you put on the original spreadsheet with the total cost include the FFL fee, or are we still responsible for that?

CJ is the man. All my stuff is scratched and I own stock in 3M tape. LOL

Bring your CHL or non-CHL FFL fee that's on the original spreadsheet in the first post of this thread.

Ok cool, I just wasn't sure if you included that in the price of the lowers/lpk's. I'm pretty sure sent mine in when I wasn't supposed to. No worries though.

Okay, the parts kits just came in today, so everyone whenever you're ready, go ahead and schedule yourself to pick up your parts. There is an upper receiver there at Jeff's house you can look over and decide if you're interested in another group buy for uppers at $50 each.

We will also be doing a barrel, and BCG group buy in the next month from a different distributor. Both 5.56mm barrels and 6.8mm barrels will be available.

ANY chance you can get them to maybe offer a 5.45x39 barrel?

Id like one as well, BUT from what I read, magazines are a PITA.

Yea, CP was apparently bought out by another company and their mags seem to be the only ones that have a chance of working in the 30 round size. I just received a barrel, bolt and 5 mags, all slightly used, and the previous owner labeled 3 of the mags as working great and 2 as having issues so I am now trying to deal with the new owners on the bad mags.... I also ordered 2 7.62x39 AR mags 3 weeks ago and haven't seen them yet.......
