Let's see that shooter

[Topkick]

I did ok fiddling with bolts, even some pistols, but for some reasons ARs gave me fits.

I typed everything in past tense for a reason, I have gotten rid of 90% of my guns and now just have a few because I don't shoot like I used to and now what I have is strictly for home/self defense.

Same here. I still have a few of my own that I shoot and tool around with, but now they're mostly just tools to me. My dad and I shared the hobby. We built, shot, and collected firearms until he passed in summer 2024 at 83 years old. After he passed, I lost the drive to build and work on them. Sold a bunch of mine, and sold most of pops guns for my mom. As an heirloom, I kept his .44 magnum he bought in the early 70's when the Dirty Harry movie came out. Its the gun we used to shoot together just to blow the shit outta stuff and laugh about it.

I tried to roll my own a couple times but I'm all Frankie Five Thumbs and can't do it worth a damn. I endy folks who can.

It's literally legos but you do need a vice, rubber mallet, roll pin punches, vice blocks for lower and upper, staking punch, AR15 wrench, torque wrench, and a brass hammer.
