So at you for not paying attention to the detail

We'd have to organize a day in which 5 or so people couple meet up as I woudn't feel comfortable with more people with just me instructing.

Pistols would be easier and cheaper since pistol ammo is cheaper, MUCH cheaper then rifle ammo. Also, I wont shoot cheap ammo out of my rifles, I will out of my pistols though. No lead/non jacketed ammo though. (its hard to find anyway)

Well screw you buddy! I wanted a certain OLL Lower so bite me! Yeah I jumped in a little late on building my AR's but before I decided to build up my own AR's I was only into pistols. I would not settle for stag, double stars, kaiser defence or vulcan lowers not my style or taste. So yeah, whatever I have my AR's fully built up and there are others out there still waiting another 4-6 months or more before they can finish theirs.

Ha ha I shot 200 rounds of Wolf through my Sun Devil / LWRC M6A2 Build yesterday. I love having a gas piston upper, so easy to clean. basically just ran a bore snake through it a few times, then added some oil to it and swiped it a few more times.

Now cleaning out my .22 Dedicater upper and Walther P22 is a different story. Those little rounds leave so much gunk in the barrel and everywhere else it can get into. Oh well still fun, I shot over 600 rounds of .22 between my P22 and AR

On a side note Daniel, it will not let me log into gunatics, ever since you okayed my account so I just said eff it!

Sounds good. I need a place to get straight answers and not have to deal with all kinds of lies and crap. And it's always nice as a noob and a sensible person not to get shot down instantly by impatient and immature fools.

What is the proposed date/time for this event?

Good stuff, it just sucks to hear that parts are hard to get. I remember when I started my builds so long ago my buddies and I did a mini group buy at the local gun show for a great price on some lowers. Looks like my last couple of AR builds are gonna be a lot slower.
