Default So I finally....

finished my FIRST AR build!!!! I got the upper today and slapped it on my lower receiver. had a little mishap at the range today (did a full auto burst) turns out (with the AWESOME help from Lycanthrope!) that i forgot to install the disconnector spring (yeah i know, but hey it was my first one..eheheh). Taking her to the range tomorrow to see if she behaves a little more adequately...I purchased an inexpensive Bushnell Trophy 1X32 (acog wannabe) scope today as well...so far i like it!

Once again thanks to Lycan, he is an outstanding guy, never met him personally but still is always willing to help....thanks!

Congrats, looks great. The spring looks like it might be a disconector spring, and would go here, larger end down:

Looks great [alot like mine : )]. I checked out your link to where you ordered the upper and it is within a couple of bucks of what I paid. I got an RRA with a unlined barrel and an A2 flash hider Rifle length ff handgaurds. I still need a couple items for mine yet but all in good time. I have a really cheap red dot on mine for now just so I could shoot it. If you haven't shot it yet just wait its a blast. Good luck with it, I gonna be lookin for an AK before the end of the yr.

Looks good ca2pa.

You say it's an Anvil Arms lower... is that a PAFOA engraved lower, or did you get one without any engraving?
