Help for build for my Nephew

[rxer311]

My Nephew Josh is an awesome dude. He turned 18 years old in October and is a freshman at Liberty University. He is a straight A student and was the captain of his high school baseball team. His dad is an abusive shitbag and Josh disowned him a few years ago and my sister does the best she can for him.

For his birthday I gave him one of my spare lowers and a PMAG. The plan was that he would pick up a PSA build kit at Christmas and I would help him put it together. He had been saving his cash to get the kit and then on his way home from College, the transmission in his car blew up and was basically worthless so he had to buy another cheap car and then throw a bunch of money at that one as well to get it running well. So now he has no cash left. I have been trying to scrape together some of the small parts that I have laying around to help him out. I was hoping that there may be some dudes on here that may be able to help me get together some of the smaller parts he needs to get him rolling along. I almost have a LPK together for him but am missing all the mag release parts and a fcg. Also need a buffer assembly.

If anybody has some small parts to help me help him I would appreciate it. I am not financially hurting but could use some help trying to help him out! Used/Ugly parts are okay as long as they are serviceable. I have been getting quite decent and using duracoat so I can throw a coat on for him at the end.

Thanks guys!

Per advice from apmecdaniel here are the parts that I currently have (will update when I find/buy):

Since I actually have almost everything I am going to update the list with what I need.

1. Barrel
2. Gas block and gas tube
3. Rail or handguard
4. Stock
5. Sights

You guys have pretty much supplied the entire rifle besides the lower and lower parts I already had! Amazing.

I will document the build when Josh gets back from Liberty on spring break.

Can you make a list of missing/needed parts? I've got a milspec upper receiver you can have, etc. Judy need a list. Plus that way you can keep track of what is covered so you don't end up with 5 FCGs but missing other things.

Good idea brother.

At the moment I only have a stripped lower, some mags, and the lower parts I mentioned. He doesn't know I am trying to pool together other parts for him. I will update my OP with what I have.

[Jerry R]

I have buffer tubes, springs, end plates, etc. Make a list.

[apmcdaniel]

Great! I'll message you to get an address, should be able to send a care package this coming week. I think it's great to help a young person get started with Firearms, and an AR build is a great beginning point.

Best part is they have a really nice range down there at Liberty...and he can keep his AR there on Campus stored at the range!

Got most of the lower parts. The only things I really still need are a mag release and fcg. Thanks again.

[Stone]

Cool, got it... I will put an extra steel weight in with the parts in case you need to switch the H2 to an H1. I just looked at my parts bin again and actually have several ambi LWRC safety selectors. I switched all mine out to Talons a while back so if you want an ambi selector its yours...

I will adjust the box to include a mag release / pin / spring, and a Colt LE6920 FCG.

[Joelski]

I have a USGI trigger and mag release you're welcome to. PM me your ship to info and I'll get it out tomorrow.

Dammit. missed it by that much.

[Jerry R]

The box is sealed, and will go out in the morning. Not changing the contents now. I did remove the A2 pistol grip, per request from Rob. Said he had one.

Missed it but thank you for offering! This group is always willing to help out and it is humbling.

[rxer311]

Looks like I will pretty much have a complete lower and a stripped upper with CH bolt and firing pin. Amazing everybody.

[Joelski]

It's always awesome to bring a new shooter in, and get him, or her started, build some confidence and respect for the firearm, and see them become an enthusiast. Great work, rxer!

I also taught my sister (Josh's Mom) to shoot and she ended up with an M&P Shield EZ 9mm. Josh also learned to shoot my CZ P07.

[rxer311]

Stuff started rolling in for Josh's build today. Got the buffer assembly, FCG, and lower parts today. This group always amazes me. Truly, thank you.

[Stone]

[rxer311]

[Stone]

[UWone77]

Most of my stuff is packed away still... but what's left on the list?

[mustangfreek]

[rxer311]

What kind of sites are you hoping to get? RDS? Flip up? LPVO?

[rxer311]

Flip up or irons. Teach him the basics first. I can always get some magpuls for it cheap so not really concerned about it.

Send me a PM with your name and address. I will throw in a set of Griffin flip ups.

Thank you!

When I think that you have given all there is to give, somebody comes through with more!

Josh just told me he won't be home for Spring Break as he is actually going on a mission trip over spring break.

I just want to let you all know that this kid deserves it.
