What types of optics are yall using...I have a cheap NCStar on my AK i might throw on there and just go iron sights on that.

Also, does a trigger guard come with a LPK or do i have to buy that somewhere else?

Dying to see it, I bet it's going to come out great! :mrgreen:

Sounds like a winner. Good luck and have fun.

Trigger guard should be included with the LPK. The NC scope will probably hold up under the tremendous recoil generated by the mighty 223 round.

I jest because I blew the battery/switch section out of one while shooting it on a 7.62x39 upper on my M16. The thing still works just w/o an illuminated reticle!

Hunt down some 20 rd mags for shooting from the bench.

My NC Star holds zero even with the heavier recoil of the 7.62. I also took the scope off the side mount and the side mount off the gun and placed it all back together and was still able to hit a 2liter bottle at 100yds. I am overall fairly pleased with my $100 NC Star, i think i just got a good one...haha I love my AK I will be sure to post pictures of both when the AR is complete!

Here are some great 20 round mags. A friend and I bought 14 and split them up to take advantage of the $10 flat shipping. I read some bad reviews on these mags, but they work great in my AR and a few others I have shot them in. impossible to beat for $4 a pop.

After feeling the trigger on steves AR I want a Timney drop in really bad! where is the best place to buy or the best deal on these. Also, are there any similar products that perform like those?

fordnut · Mar 7, 2011

Cheaper than Dirt has them, usually...but....they are around $200.00...

Sorry man...shouldn't have shown you the AR...

I feel your pain on the Timney trigger. I swear Steve must get kick back money from them!
He should change his handle to "Triggerpimp".

Hey Ckicker...you should talk...someone else I know has one...

jord9109 · Mar 7, 2011

clicker, you aint kiddin...he was like here pull that trigger and that thing was HOTT! Hell, i wanted to buy 2 on site.

I think im going to hold off on the timney until i do my next build though. Maybe ill build myself something with a little more style next tax return i get...im dreaming about a .308 that'll reach out a touch those older smarter deer that wont come within 500yds of your stand!
