Great work there! Not sure if you did this, but masking tape over punch holes when you're working does wonders for preventing scratches.chlag01 wrote:I've posted a time lapse of my first AR15 assembly on youtube. Nothing too cool other than the time lapse is kinda neat:
For those of you thinking about building an AR, I cannot recommend strongly enough this book The Competitive AR15 Builders Guide by Glen Zediker. It's not just for competitive ARs either, as he covers the range of build options. He goes into nice detail about the ins and outs as well as "lessons learned" (i.e., mistakes he's made). What I really like are the massive number of _large_ detailed photos and the fact that the book is spiral bound. He'll answer direct email too if you have questions!
