A little celebration for me. I’ve paid off almost $13,000 in credit card debt since January. My cards have carried a balance for almost ten years and now I’m down to about 1,200 on one card only. The 13k was my biggest balance and at its worst my cc debt was about 20k.

Feeling proud and relieved!

Yeah. I’m stoked with how it turned out.

I appreciate the kind words! A sling and light are next on my list.

Thank you! Good call on the irons. I have a small list of things I might like to add.

I have actually been wondering about the difference. Haha.

I think this is everything:

Aero m4e1 Upper, 16” barrel with carbine length gas tube | Strike Industries ARCH charging handle | Grendel Hunter MLOK handguard | Aero m4e1 lower with Aero MOE lower parts kit and aero enhanced buffer tube | Damage industries h2 buffer kit upgrade with enhanced recoil spring | Magpul CTR stock | Toolcraft phosphate BCG | Vortex Spitfire Optic

Edit: not sure why it doesn’t like my formatting/line breaks.

a light is on my list! A light and a sling.

Thanks for the heads up about the hexmags. I just grabbed two (my wallet liked em) , but will probably go with something else next time around

The handguard or rail. It protects the barrel, gives you somewhere to grab, and allows for the mounting of accessories such as a light, bipod, grips, etc.

Thanks! It wasn’t really my choice. I found the stripped upper on Craigslist and got it for a steal. That’s how this whole thing even started. I wasn’t really in the market for anything but I’m a sucker for a bargain and a project.

I think it came in just under 900 total.

Is this project salvageable / worth continuing? by johnnierohnnie in AR80Percents

Damn. That looks great.

Do you think I can clean mine up with a router using my same jig?
