You forgot that little washer that looks like a saw blade for the screw that goes to that plastic part you hold......

 

[MadMo44Mag]

Yeah!
You forgot the most important part and that is that once you get it built you sent it to me for extended testing and evaluation. LOL!!!!

I think you forgot the do-hicky that holds the thing-a-ma-jig next to that other part. You know, the one with holes in it. I also didn't see that part that keeps it from going "boom-boom-boom-boom..." one after another.

LOL.. I felt the same way when I decided to try a AR build. But despite all the springs and things it's really not that difficult. Tolerances on AR's are so loose you could throw a cat though one, and they are very forgiving. I enjoyed the project, and it reminded me of my youth when I built models. (sadly, kids don't do that much any more) Take your time, and try and follow the many videos available to guide you. Oh, and buy extra springs and detests. They tend to fly away, and you won't find them until one day when you're walking bear food and a peice sticks you.

Did you get the biiiiig squared cornered spring? Looks to me like you won't get far with a single shot AR

No chrome on this one.
I don't like shiny guns they are too easy to see at night.

I did order the dohicky and the thingamagig yesterday.

I also ordered the all important long tube looking thing.

(building #4 btw)

Do I have to have "that part that keeps it from going "boom-boom-boom-boom"?

Bummer...

If you think you might then you probably do my suggestion go to brownells and view their how to videos.

Then you could just google ar15 parts diagram and match up what you have.
