I’m still kicking. Got my kit in yesterday, assembled it (in a little over three hours), and test fired it. More details to comes, but my distinct impression of AR builds can be summed up in three words– [CENSORED] detent pins. Seriously, it took three grown people 30 minutes to find it the last time it shot off. I got it in place, and got the front pivot pin in… but I don’t remember how. (sigh)
I can only say “Happy Thanksgiving”, at least what’s left of it, a safe Black Friday, and quote George Washington:
“And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions — to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually — to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed — to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shown kindness onto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord — To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us — and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.”
