Build party at the Oct reunion? Or would that be too late?

PM where to send the EPT FCG if that ^^ won’t work out.

No it would not and that seems like a good idea

He won't be back till late December

Hey fellers,
I have not done a build in FOREVER, but I do have a few odd parts, if they would help. A friend gave me some take-off hand guards. Will try to add a pic. I also have a collapsible stock, but it sounds like you already have that covered. If I turn up anything else, I will update here.
Thanks for doing this,
KB

I've got the assembly tools and a vise. Also a bucket of spare parts. I'm in Pflugerville, if it helps, I'm willing to have a build party here.

I will throw in a charging handle too.

I may see Vaq soon, so I will hand off my items for the build to him.

[Davetex]

I might have a BCG. I'll have to dig out the bucket.

 

[EZ-E]

I got 2 carbine rails (plastic MFT & Aluminum ebay), 1 standard mid length hand guard & 1 mid length gas tube.

Are we trying to build carbine, mid or rifle length?

 

[Davetex]

Yep, got one. 5.56 BCG.
