Tight Lines
Senior Member
My son is 12 and has a 6.5 Creedmoor that is still too big for him, though he can shoot it from a bench. I bought him an AR-15 which he can handle fairly well due to the weight and collapsable stock, and he killed his first deer with it this year. I use the Ft. Scott Munitions TUI rounds for it and even though it is a 5.56 it is lethal.
It had a really bad trigger group and safety, and he shoots left even though it is a righty.
So since we are quarantined, I decided to do a complete tear down of the weapon and show him how to take each piece apart and clean it, inspect it, and put it back together...we got him a new trigger and safety, and since I wanted a red safety he decided he wanted all red on the other items we were changing...
I had an old Crimson Trace green laser/light combo for an AR-15, and we ordered the rest...Strike Industries stock, buffer tube, and muzzle brake. A Velocity trigger and end plate with a QD. A Seekins Precision Ambi safety. A Luth-AR extra large bolt catch, and a Velocity mag release. Have an Aero Precision Ambi charging handle on order, and we are putting his cheap Nikon scope and rings back on it. We have a Strike Industries trigger guard on order too but not here yet. And a QD sling. Here is the almost finished product:
