So.. I have been watching all these retarded stupid idiotic pricing on ar's and decided I was going to build one of my own. My big turn off with the AR platform is that I am in the military. I am an infantryman. I use one of these probably 250 out of 365 days a year. I have carried one everyday for 15 months in Iraq. THEY BORE ME! I saw a possibility to build a neat little rifle and then, well.. sell it.
I have used a variety of good quality parts from different manufacturers to build it up. Spikes Tactical, RRA, Magpul, Matech, etc.. Here are some misc. pics of what has come in so far. I am still waiting on getting some stuff in the mail. We shall see what happens so far. Today I built the lower.
IT IS SO EASY TO DO! Do not pay the extra money to have someone build you one. Unless its the extra 10 dollars to spikes for them to build it. Def. better to spend the 10 and not deal with those dang pivot pin detents. Once all the goods come in I will keep some pics posted up.
ON TO THE REASON OF THIS THREAD!!!!!
I purchased a High Standard Crusader 1911. I purchased this pistol because it comes with alot of neat features that the standard HS and RIA come with. Its a great out of the box shooter. I wanted to make a couple of subtle changes to have a great ALL STEEL CCW.
I ordered all kinds of stuff but its all from WILSON COMBAT. I have ordered there stuff before and never had any problems. With all there stuff I expect to have to do a little of smithing. I broke out the tool box and a couple of punches and files. I broke the entire pistol down. The only thing that I could not get to work *or should i say before i almost broke this dang thing* is the extended magazine button and the sear. I have never had a problem with there sears. EVER! It doesnt have a relief cut in it for the saftey. It will not work. I am going to run over to the machine shop tomorrow and have them fix it but i am Edited to Remove Profanity ----Edited to Remove Profanity ----Edited to Remove Profanity ----Edited to Remove Profanity ----Edited to Remove Profanity ----Edited to Remove Profanity ----. With the mag button it just needs way to much material taken off to get it to work. I will take it to the shop as well but i dont think i will be able to use it. With that being said. Everything else works great. The trigger is crisp with what little work i did to it. I installed a set of Desert warrior grips in black. It handles well, and tomorrow after i get all the little peices fixed I will be taking it to the range to start with the shoosting! I have 6 different boxes of JHP to start with . I will be shooting different groups and changing out with different springs to find out what works and what doesnt.
WE shall see.. I hope everyone likes my gun porn.
