OK, so I won the lower in the "Support Justin" auction. This will be a surprise for Justin so nobody tell him.

I decided about a week ago that I really don't need another AR so I am going to build it out, get it engraved and give it back to Geek to hold for Justin until he is old enough to own it. Frmr0317 has offered up a free Cerakote in any color combination and to help out with the build.

I have already spoken with Burnedoutgeek and he thinks Mom and Dad would be cool with it. I have also run a few engraving ideas past him (more on that later).

So this leads me to the purpose of this thread. I am looking for parts donations. Anything I don't get from you guys I will pay for to finish the build.

Here's what we have so far:

Stripped Lower.
Light weight barrel.
Gas block.
Gas Tube.
Free Float Handguards.
Pop up front sight.

What I need:
Everything else.

If you have anything that you don't mind donating to the project, please put what you have in the thread so I can keep track. And if you have any color scheme ideas post those (a pic would be nice) and Geek will make the decision on what we go with.




Now for the second part. Looking for ideas for the engraving. It will be engraved with "Justin Lastname" on the top and then a tag line.
For the tagline, we are shooting for something funny. Geek thinks Justin would love any one of the following but submit your own and Geek will again make the final call.

Treemaster 1
Master of Trees
Fear No Tree

Whatcha got?

PM me your shipping address. I've got lots of AR spares. I'll put some misc. stuff in a box and ship it to you. If you can use what I send, use it. If not, keep it or pay-it-forward to others in need.

I'll get some stuff out first of next week.

I just got my first AR, so no spares, but the kid's gonna need some ammo, so put me down for 5 20rd boxes of brass-cased .223 (I'll probably see Geek at the gun show this Saturday and give it to him then).

I LOL'ed hardest at "Fear No Tree".

As for the surprise aspect, doesn't he have Tapatalk on his iphone, and he's aware of this forum, right? Maybe we need to change the thread title to something a 13yr old kid would never click on, like "Cavitation effect of 5.56 vs. 7.62" or "Can we realistically undo Obamacare if we have to wait until 2016 to do it".

I don't have any AR parts as I am an AK guy....but I have a suggestion for the slogan...."Gravity Sucks"

He likes hockey, how about a skull and crossbones symbol but with hocky sticks as the cross bones?

/stupid suggestion
...
actually that sounds pretty cool. Maybe give the skull a goalie mask..

That is pretty awesome.

Ok, I am sending this in PM's to everyone but just in case I haven't gotten to you yet.

I am going to try and keep track of who sends what. After the build is finished, if I have leftovers I will ask if anybody wants anything back.

If not I will leave the extra parts with frmr0317 since he is always giving parts away to people to help them with builds.

Thanks again for the generosity.
