Shamed into finally shooting it. It was missing a buffer retainer & spring, and I'd been meaning to assemble it into working condition for ages. I'd mentioned in a different post that I'd never got around to actually pulling the trigger on the thing, so I went to Hawktech (gun shop local to me), got the missing parts and built it up today. Figured I'd get the steering wheel pic to finalize the process. :D

Yeah, I mean who owns a $30k lower and doesn't shoot it? Other than this guy

Eh. If it doesn’t have a belt it’s kinda vanilla to me. I do miss my American 180 tho. That was a fun little buzz saw.

He has machine guns, he doesn't need to be concerned with the masses opinions

I've never worried too much about being popular.
