Shipping Department FAIL

I ordered two AR-15 Lower Parts Kits from Palmetto State Armory last week.  The box arrived today.  I was sooooooo happy, more parts of my 2 rifles.  Until...  Well I'll let the pics tell the story.

It's a big box for two LPK's

Lots and lots of packaging materials.

Wait?  Where is the other one?

Nope, that's it.  Just the one.  The paperwork DOES say 2, but there was only one in the box.  Shouldn't the weight have been a tip off?  .80 lbs for 2 parts kits.  Does that sound right to you?

I got on the phone and the gentleman I spoke to said they would get another one out to me this week.  I'll let you know how it goes.

I am slowly turning to the Dark Side

If you have been reading my blog for awhile you know that I do not own any AR type rifles.  That is now slowly changing.

The other day you saw part of my progress to the Dark Side HERE.

Last month I took possession of something special.

Whats is it My Precious?

Why it looks like the pieces of an AR-15 Lower My Precious.

Yessssssss Precious....  Uh hmmmmm. Sorry.

Yes those are laser cut flats for a weld together 80% AR-15 Lower Receiver from Jack Squat's Flat Spot.  I am slowly getting together the various parts necessary, so that HOPEFULLY later this year I will go to the Sooper Sekrit Lab and assemble not one but TWO AR-15 rifles.  One will be a Standard AR-15A2 Carbine with the carry handle upper as seen on standard rifles.  The other will be specifically built as a DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle) HBAR Flatop.  Both rifles will have 1:7 twist barrels and standard A2 Flash Hiders and both will be chambered for not 5.56 NATO not .223 Remington but .223 Wylde to allow the use of both ammunition standards and hopefully give the best accuracy.  After I get these two built I might get another to make a Multi-Cal Pistol possibly in .45 ACP.

I am currently waiting on my two Lower Parts Kits (LPK's) from Palmetto State Armory, to add to my pile of parts for my two custom build rifles. If everything goes to plan, I should be able to get these rifles built before Thanksgiving.

But "That's Not All."  I also went an ordered a LW-15 from New Frontier Armory, and I picked it up yesterday from my Sooper Duper Sekrit Gun Store.

Here it is with the stock collapsed.  When it's extended it about the same length as a standard AR-15 stock which for me is about an inch and a half too short.  The AR-15A2 stock is about a half an inch too short for me as well.  My L.O.P. is almost 17 inches.  I'll be able to shoot it when I finally get all the various pieces as my budget allows, I'll just have to get a slip on buttpad for it if I want to be accurate.  However for 135.88 delivered plus the Sooper Duper Sekrit Gun Shop's transfer fee, I got it for under $160.00 less than 6 days after I ordered it.

Anybody got an upper they'd be willing to horsetrade for?  ;)

UPDATE:  If you would like to know more about the Laser Cut Flats, I'll Direct you to where I learned about them.
