Build-a-Bear
This was shipped to me today:
If you know what it is, you'll appreciate where I'm going with this. If you don't, just consider it Hillbilly Lego. Or, as the man said, Build it, and they will die come.
As I told Vanderleun, God is my co-sniper.
Like the time Slick Willy first gazed upon Miss Lewinsky: Behold the "lips" of your lower receiver!

One could hope so, anyway.
Posted by: Grumpy Old Ham at January 30, 2010 11:46 AMHusband's birthday is on the horizon, and oldest son thinks we should get him an AR15 lower receiver (I suspect there is a bit of self interest involved here) ... man Legos indeed! Man Legos are 'spensive!
(But it is kind of fun to see him grin like a kid, and I know he won't be expecting it.)
Posted by: PeggyU at January 30, 2010 4:03 PMI find it somewhat amusing the the guts of an AR-15 lower receiver look like something you'd find in an old timey cap pistol.

So, what caliber?

From what's stamped on the receiver, 5.56x50, although I don't really know anything about it. That's bigger than the NATO standard 5.56x45.

Posted by: Dishonorable Schoolboy at February 1, 2010 7:26 PM.... so, which calibre are you choosing for the rest of the weapon?...... you still need the upper receiver, bolt, and barrel.....

Don't be a pussy and turn it into a .22; build it with something bigger than a 7.62
