Put together my first lower

[osteodoc08]

I had a few lowers sitting down in the basement and a spare PSA upper.

Finally got got around to assembling one of the lowers and couldn't believe how easy it was. With the assistance of Mr Potterfields videos, I had it complete in about an hour start to finish including watching the videos, figuring out how each spring went and mating it to my upper and function checking it.

Now to get the pieces to assemble an upper with the 18" bull barrel I have downstairs.

The shiny spots are oil spots not marring.

Nice job. One of these days I plan on putting together a complete 308 from parts and lowers for my 6.5 Grendel and 458 SOCOM uppers. Keep saying once I am finally able to start living again that is - getting divorced sucks.

Ha. Hang in there buddy. Been there. Done that. Took years to recover but you'll get there

Yep. You're hooked. Best, Thomas.

got a question: was this a lower that had all the holes already drilled out or was it an 80% receiver?

It was a 100% Anderson lower that's been sitting in my safe for a few years. I picked up a 3 pack for a $150 out the door. Finally got around to building it

The Anderson lowers I've seen, and a few I've built...are good stuff.
Congrats on the build man!
