Ok folks, here's the idea I had. A friend of mine and elder in my church has recently started becoming interested in firearms. He hunted deer during firearms season and muzzle loader with borrowed guns last year. He didn't kill anything but it wasn't for lack of trying. He's a great guy, even today he offered to pick up and deliver some siding from where he works and drop it off for me on his way home. And he did.
He's always going out of his way to help folks out.
He's fired my AR's and is interested in getting one but he's got a daughter in college and he's got his priorities straight. I want him to have one but I can't just buy him one myself. I've got 3 young-uns of my own.
I've got him started down the AR-15 road with a magpul fore end ( I called it his rifle seed) and I have a butt stock and pistol grip for him as well. Take offs from some of mine.
I'm thinking there's probably a lot of guys out there with take off AR parts they've removed and replaced with better aftermarket parts. I know many of you guys don't know me from Adam but here's what I wanna try and do. I'm gonna ask you folks to donate parts to RA's rifle build. Kind of a pay it forward type of thing.
They don't have to be new, used is fine in fact its expected. They just have to work.
I know you're thinking " This guy is just too cheap to buy his own and he's scamming us ". Well, that would be my first thought about it too if I hadn't thought of it myself. I totally understand if you don't want to be involved. I do have a 100% feedback score here on INGO. That's as close as I can come to any kinda reassurance as to my intentions. I'm just a guy trying to help a buddy out.
I will post pics of the rifle when its done and pictures of RA and the rifle. I'm thinking if we can get him most of the way there he could pick up the last few parts necessary to complete it.
Think about it and PM me if you have some items you are willing to donate. Anything it takes to put one together would be appreciated.
****I have a bunch of 9mm brass to trade for stuff if you are on the fence and can't donate. Just a little motivation.****
Thanks.
Heres the list of parts gathered so far:
Buttstock
Fore end
Pistol grip
Vertical fore grip
The rest of the parts have been donated by the fine folks in parenthesis.
Lower receiver (anonymous)
Lower parts kit (Romad7)
Magazine and sling mount( cameramonkey)
Charging handle ( Mgderf)
Buffer
buffer tube
buffer spring
castle nut
Man,you folks are awesome!
Well here's an update on our progress. Turns out a mutual friend of ours has decided to buy an upper for the build. I'm thinking all we need now is a charging handle as the upper didn't come with one. Think I'm gonna let him buy his own sights.
Gonna PM Mgderf and see if he's still willing to donate one.
