I was going to suggest polishing or storing the mil spec too to save money. That's what a broke 16 yo might do.
Been there done that dude... I remember those days... still on a budget. Beer budget with champagne taste.So My budget is broke 16 year old... but I am waiting and browsing sales and stuff. The type of rifle I'm going for with this build is a close target rife.
Likewise.....and I use JP yellow.When I build an AR, I usually polish the trigger group, which makes it much smoother. There are several Youtube videos that show how to do a trigger job. It costs you a piece of 1200 grit sandpaper. I normally get my lower parts kits from Palmetto, and they pretty much always need some trigger work.
I also use the green springs from JP, which cost less than $10. That combo (springs and trigger job) usually results in a fantastic trigger. And I do it for under $15. The high end triggers may be much better than mine, but I doubt it. The triggers on my guns are great, and several of my friends have asked which high end trigger I installed. They are shocked to find out I have $15 in it.
And I save a ton of money doing it my way.

I know it's no super duper, mil-spec optic. But I bought one of these the day I bought my 300BLK AR. Needed something to get me shooting and hunting. I bought one of these... https://www.cabelas.com/product/TRU...VhrbACh12RA1yEAQYAyABEgJ-c_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
I ran it on my 300BLK for a good solid year. Never had an issue with it, killed a few hogs with it actually. It's since become a shelf optic due to moving on to another scope. If you looking to get on the range and fling lead... it'd serve ya well I believe. If your interested, let me know. I'll send it your way man. I'd rather see it being used than just sitting on the shelf.
Well he PM'd me an address to ship to. But then wrote back saying don't ship and his mom was pissed.Now there's an offer he can't refuse. Good job Fire.
Advice takenAdvice for next time:
If I am going to give something to a minor I ALWAYS ask the parent first. Period. No exceptions.
Have the kids parent open an account and pm you. Give them your contact info and pick IF and HOW to transfer the items. There are very few instances where I will give my contact info to a minor without parental consent.
