Thanks! Your right about the color; gold filled emblem, serial number, and caliber designation and the normal white/red for the safe/fire on both sides.

I built a stand for it so that it'll be easier to work on and could be used to display it when its done...though if I'm going to use it for display I'll have to paint it.

I may be throwing the idea of a low cost build out the window. What do you all think of the nickel-boron plated bcg from WMD?

Just ordered my upper:

I thought you were gonna build it...smh

Didn't mean to come off as a dbag....I just thought you were gonna piece EVERYTHING together...nice upper though.

No, I never planned on building the upper...that'll be another project. I was debating getting a completed upper minus the bcg, hg, and ch but decided not to. And no worries on the comment, it was a legit statement.

So here are some pictures from my lower build. Its still missing the butt stock and mags but they'll get here Thursday and the I have to wait on my upper.

Started by laying out all of my parts:


Magazine Catch and Trigger Guard:


Then the bolt catch:


The Front Take-down pin:


Next came the trigger:


Hammer:

The saftey/detent/spring and pistol grip:


And finally the rear take-down pin and buffer assembly:
