She's all put together....

[Poonie]

Received the stock kit for my Stag Arms left handed AR on Friday. Assembled the lower last night and put her all together. The gun looks bad a$$......Assembling an AR lower is a piece of cake. I had the entire lower built in about 45 minutes. I did make one mistake with the mag release pin and ended up slightly gouging the metal, but that's to be expected I guess. Nothing a little aluminum black won't hide. I taped up the jaws of the pliars I used to squeeze the pin in place but the pin was a little harder to seat than expected. The teeth of the pliars dug slightly into the metal leaving minor indentations and some silver showing. Won't hurt the function of the rifle but it ticked me off somewhat. But again to be expected. My advice to anyone who wants to try building a lower receiver is, go with the hammer and punch method on the pins. Forget the pliars and squeeze method. Not needed and will avoid what I did. I used the punch on the trigger guard and had no issues at all.

All I need now is a set of flip up sights and then ooff to the rifle range. Those will have to wait until I can get a little $ saved up though.

You'll like the Stag AR, Poonie.....I've got the piston-driven Stag-15/Model 8 (but right-handed!).

The piston is a really different recoil impulse than a standard, gas-impingement system, but it's a tack-driver.

Like Wyo said, WE NEED PICS! :D

I know I should post photos, bu tI am not well versed in how to do that......How do I go about it?

[MichaelK]

First off, do you have a digital camera or a phone that can take pictures?

You first have to generate a digital picture that can be stored on a computer. Take the picture, plug the camera/phone into your computer, and upload the pictures to your pc. Give the picture a name and store that file somewhere on your hardisk.

For posting on internet sites I use photobucket. That's a public data storage site that lets you display pictures to the public. You go to photobucket, set up an account, then upload your pic files to it. Each of your pictures with be given a pathway for posting. For example, your pathway might be something like "photobucket/poonie1/xx11yy22zz33/name_of_your_pic/"

When you are ready to post your pic here you add it to your post as an image insert, putting the "path" in image quotes like this... (BTW, the real image quotes is lowercase)
[IMG]photobucket/poonie1/xx11yy22zz33/name_of_your_pic/[IMG]
When your thread gets posted your image will then be displayed.

I'd like to see how other people post pics. I know there's more than one way to do it, so I'd like to see other ways of pic posting that people utilize.

I'd like to post a picture but the more I think about it, I don't think I like the idea of pictures of my firearms floating around on the net. I'm sorry guys but I'm just not going to do that. Hope you understand.

No problem, but you already told the "Watchers" that you have the weapon. :wink:
