    My 17 year old daughter built a rifle.

    She did approximately 95% of the work. My friend handed her the book and told her to ask questions. She did very well. She didn’t ask for that much help. It’s a nice build with BA barrel and LPK, Aero upper & ALG 10” handguard. I traded an extra muzzle break to a friend to get the lower. We are both taking a carbine class in two weeks. :)

    Thanks, Alamo. She’s an amazing young lady. She already wants to build another one. We were at a friend’s house near Crockett.

    Now that's a million dollar smile! I did the same with my son about a year ago. Great thread brother!! You taught her well, notice the trigger finger placement.

    That kicks so much ass. I can't wait until my little one is old enough to build his own.

    Thanks for noticing the ring. That’s the purity ring she picked out.

    I like that shop. Hoping to expand mine with table, band and mitre saws next year, as well as a floor standing drill press. Got some final renovations to complete and then I can start laying it out and building work stations. I'm planning on taking on more guitar repair work when (if) I retire and hope to do some gun stuff on the other side.
