Looking GOOD!

I've given up on building lowers. When I can buy a complete PSA lower for $159, and it comes close to.... if not perfect... I just can't see putting one together from scratch.

That said... I will occasionally take one of my lowers apart and put it back together again, just to keep the skills. Took apart a PCF polymer lower a couple days ago. Lost two (count 'em... TWO) buffer retainer plugs. Found the springs across the room, but the retainers are gone. They are floating around somewhere in my shop. Been on the floor looking for them for two days.

Thank God for spares!

I originally had thought on just buying one and had done some serious homework on it too. Then I saw some posts from a couple of COTEP members on their builds and I contacted C aleb and picked his brain, I ordered parts and during the ensuing waiting period I did some research, parts arrived and I started the build. It truly isn’t that difficult, but, with that being said, I do realize that it’s not for everyone. I thoroughly enjoy this type of thing and enjoy working with my hands. I will be ordering some more ‘lowers’ here very soon to put aside for future builds (C aleb did warn me that this would happen).
Bottom line - I wanted to 'build' one.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
