Just an FYI for anyone who's been waiting 18 months like I have: The Magpul UBR 2.0 is (FINALLY) now shipping! Ordered one for my SBR, will order another for my large format build if I like it as much as I think I will.

The video they released with the news is also pretty hilarious (and accurate):

Put the scope on my first build today. Mainly Anderson components (Upper, Lower, Barrel, BCG, Lower Parts Kit). Took advantage of some of the sales they have going on. Certainly a budget gun but I'll put it to the test this weekend!

Collecting the final parts for putting together a pistol lower - have the lower, lpk, and shockwave brace but still need the buffer tube assembly.

PA has a Radical kit on sale for $30 but I'm a bit leery based on folks' comments on their uppers. Midwest kit is twice the price. Any reason to shy away from lower priced set on a buffer tube? Also saw the KAK buffer tube that's pre-dimpled. Doesn't sound like it's needed but was wondering if anyone had used one.

I passed on the Enhanced Aero Upper last week but I found a 4th of July sale that has an Assembled Aero Precision upper (blemish) with BCG and Charging Handle for $140. From what I can tell that is a really good deal, right?

I have been watching the gundeals reddit hourly for the 4th of July sales.

https://www.reddit.com/r/gundeals/comments/6kelol/schuyler_arms_4th_of_july_sale_all_vg6_45/

Picked up the ALG 15" V3 Rail for $82 and the VG6 Gamma for $51.80 shipped to the house.

Now I am just watching for a barrel and a stock and then I will have all the major parts I need

I'll let some of the experts weigh in on that. I'm basing my opinion on know what about the individual costs of these parts (from doing a good amount of "shopping" recently) and the general/overall reputation of Aero.

What would be the difference between an Odin Works 556 for end and a 308 for end? I assume just all together larger? Barrel nut, diameter, etc?

How hard is it to assemble an upper (hand guard, gas block, and barrel)?

I'm scared to do so but it seems easy

It's so incredibly easy that it's hard to properly describe how incredibly easy it is.

More than good. Just take your time and watch a video or 2. I think from previous threads most people do not torque them. I do only because I already have the tool.

There may be another Aggie build party in the future also. I wish I had a better set up to host.

The build party just needs to give me a few months (after high school football season) and time to finish acquiring pistol pieces

I don't have a single working rifle yet but have tons of parts for 3 5.56 and one 308. What the hell is wrong with me?

I've only built one .308, but I used a Fulton Armory Criterion barrel and it was a sub MOA gun.

With all the sales I jumped on a new stripped upper & lower. This will be my first complete build. What tools do you guys consider essential to have for a complete build?
