Building an AR-15

[/-/NOX!UZ]

Current socioeconomic circumstances have made me decide to gear up. Or maybe its the news interviews of people on the street breaking into businesses and taking things that they didn't pay for, that when asked why they were doing this by as reporter on scene, respond "We have the right to loot". Yes this happened in my home state. Words cannot describe the level of anger, infuriation, and disgust I experienced when I see a news reporter interview the lovely members of society doing this shit, and that's their response.

Needless to say, if things go south and these same lovely people decide they have the right to loot my property, or the property of my extended friends and family, I will be there to greet them with my fire"arms" extended wide open.

No stranger to firearms. I have a Springfield 1911 M1A1 Mil-spec .45 pistol, a Winchesters 1300 Ranger 12 ga. shotgun, and a Mosin-Nagant manf. 1942, Itchesvk. That said, im not a gun fanatic, just a normal everyday chap who believes in being armed and has a decent enough knowledge to know how to handle, clean, disassemble and own them responsibly.

This is the first "Assault" rifle ive ever gone for so I decided to build one myself for fun and to get in depth familiarity with the platform. Quotations around the assault because only dumbasses think whether a firearm has a "military style design" or not is something different that needs to be regulated. I can "assault" and invade your house by kicking the door open and pistol whip the shit out of you with a .22 revolver and dispatch multiple individuals by the time i'm done. Does that make it an Assault Pistol? Sorry im on a rant...

My question to any of you more familiar with this type of stuff is. Should I be comfortable assembling it myseld? or are there just certain parts you would say, Hey, get a professional gunsmith to do that no matter how confident you are before the damn things blows up when you first try firing it!

Ive read of making sure to check spacing , lower/upper receiver alignment etc. As ive said I have a decent familiarity with firearms, and maintaining them. I also like to think I can read some guides and have enough sense to do this or that, without being in a rush, to make sure all the parts of this platform are assembled and adjusted correctly before firing it. just want to see if any of you are more of a gun nut than I am and can give advise based on experience not to let my confidence override my sense of caution.

Anyway I got the following:

Sharp Bros lower receiver. Fully stripped lower receiver. Has the Helm of a Spartan machined on the front where the mag goes in. I saw it at a local gun store while looking at lowers, fell in love, had to have it, price be damned. I also understand its machined from a solid billet of aluminum and much more rugged/dependable based on that so yeah:

Talk to Pete Harrison, he would probably be able to help you out.

Just remember that a vocal minority has created the false impression that the United States is more divided than ever, according to the largest study ever conducted of U.S. polarization.

“Even though there’s this sense of division and disruption, actually those extreme views do not represent the majority," says Miriam Juan-Torres, one of the report's authors. "Despite all of the vitriol and heightened feelings since the 2016 election, 77 percent of Americans think the differences between Americans are not so great that they wouldn’t allow us to move forward as a country.”

Interesting study (that I skimmed only): hiddentribes.us

Hi Gary,

A vocal minority willing to march, take violent action, and intimidate through force and intimidation, is what I fear most. We pride ourselves in being a nation where the majority can hold power, but with respect and consideration to the minority. That is why we have the electoral system we have.

That is what is see, a movement centered and united behind a true message of equality for all. What is not seen is the intentions of the true power wielders, behind the scene organizers, and leaders inciting the emotions of these people.

I invite you to go the BLM website and read their intentions and ultimate goals and what they want. Ninety percent of it can be interpreted as true desire to establish rights for all people.

The other ten percent is a Marxist/communist manifesto.

That is what scares me. People uniting behind a true message that should be legitimately considered, but in turn the leaders of the message use their passion and anger to steward them toward something that is not democratic or righteous or a true representation of the people being in control of their government leaders.

I respect that you say a majority of people don't agree with these people.

I warn you also to bear in mind, Hitler took over Germany by having his political appointees protest and not appear or stand against government proceedings. He did this by having only 30% of the representation of the german people appeasr in the german senate or whatever. In dong this he forced them to negotiate with him and it eventually led to him taking over.

This is what terrifies me, negotiating with my own countrymen, who are under the sway of a power that is not true to America, but uses their emotions and instilled ethics to influence them toward something that is not representative, but is something they are instilled to believe in, but ultimately is slavery to a government god that uses their most base characteristics to influence them to behave as their leaders want.
