My guess:

the showing off doesnt end at the range... it always contines online where people take pics and say "look where I got." Usually posting the same "look at me" post in several differnt forum-based websites.

Im sure if we wait a couple more weeks "z06boy ar-15" will be indexed into google to include those shots.

I've been too busy to go check out any gun shows (I think one came through here a few weeks back, but I didn't learn of it until after the fact.)

You're pretty much a fucking dickhead. All you do is put people down on this forum. Shut the fuck up and get out if you don't like the people here.

Before and after pics...

see, I'd need several cases of beer and duct tape to keep from yelling the F word every time one of those springs flew across the room and hitting the cat...

Nice!! Kudos to a for putting it together yourself! I now what ya mean, I like to do the same with my own toys. And those are so much fun to shoot!

FYI for a few of those that asked, it may just be a southern thing, but ever since Obama won the election, there is NO gun shop that can keep these guns in stock. And the prices have jumped at least a couple hundred bucks as well. I know its most likely overkill, but alot of people got very concerned about where things may go when he reaches office, and are stocking up on ammo and guns as fast as they come into the stores.

And I am sure they are also preparing for the zombie invasion!

WTF are you talking about meathead ? I posted this because it is the first time I've ever attempted to put together something like this myself and yes I'm proud of the end result. Another member here prompted me to take on this task since we're both gun enthusiast and he loaned me some tools to make it go a little easier and I appreciate it quite a bit.

I've seen other gun related post here and knew that some here could appreciate it...same with a couple more bikes sites and a cage related site or two that I frequent.

On another note I served in the Marines and carried an M-16 for a few years and have wanted an AR but never ponied up the $$ to purchase one so by buying a kit in a group purchase I saved a few bucks and also actually learned something.

I also have worked in executive protection and been a personal driver for over 20 years for 3 different Chairman and CEO's of one of the largest corporations in the world and am used to being around people that enjoy this type stuff...sorry if you don't but you can go f*ck yourself with your response here.

To the rest of you that enjoyed the pic and can appreciate doing things yourself in an attempt to learn something...thanks for the positive comments.

To the others that don't like this type stuff and just skipped over the thread and kept your comments to yourself like I do when I see something I don't care about...thanks to you as well.

Happy Friday everyone.

...oh there was a choice word or two and a spring did go flying toward my dog once and then I scared him by yelling at him not to pick it up and run with it like it was his toy !!

what did the kit cost BTW?

Thanks and I agree with the Obama buying frenzy...it's gotten crazy. I sometimes wonder if it's also fueled by some of the gun/ammo dealers that feed some of the fear to drive up their sales.

Like I mentioned in my above rant ...I've wanted one for awhile and saw a group purchase for the kit and it was right around election time so I guess I was guilty myself on the timing..."oh I better buy one now!"
