agriebel, thanks for the video. Is the finish on yours from Project Guns? The receiver looks like its a lighter color. Not being critical at all - just curious.

Thanks!

Thank you Stan. Will update on how the YHM Phantom sounds on it. I am expecting alot of noise from the gas system, but still, its cool!

Very nice can't wait for mine to get built. Already chopped and threaded for my AAC 762SD.

Yes, it is Stan's finish. There is a slight difference in the sheen between the receiver and the parts kit, not objectionable at all. If you look at post 226 you can see a close up of the topcover and the receiver.

I need some help please.

I almost got mine done, and the striker spring is way to long, like 4 times the length form the back of the lower to the back of the stiker in the forward position.

Can anyone give me a rough measurement of the striker spring length?

You were right, about 10 inches.

You were right, about 10 inches.

Thank you



Just watched your video, nicely done.
One thing I can suggest that makes it easier, before you take off the lower pull the trigger and let the striker go forward, this takes most of the spring pressure off the striker spring.
Nice shirt

Thanks coils, I will try that next time. I love my infidel tee shirt. My wife has matching one.
