Hope this isn't a problem posting here, not sure where it would belong.
Thumbs up to 80sgyrene, who offered and delivered on helping with the use of his tools AND his knowledge in working with me on my new MP-15. We spent something like 3 hours together, and only about 30 minutes were actually taking mine apart and putting it together with the new parts I was looking to use. He also did a little bluing on my front sight where I clipped it, and this was after he hit it with his belt sander.
The rest of the time was two gun guys B.S.ing and me drooling over a few of his toys!
Turns out the guy also has skills, gunsmithing skills. Some of the stuff he's done to some of these pieces is nothing short of remarkable.
Jersey people, this is a fellow to keep an eye on, if he decides to expand his hobby to anything more, he'll be in demand.
Meanwhile, I look forward to paying it forward.

What part of Jersey? Nice to hear reports like this one.

Still carrying my S&W 642

Union County, close to the center of the state. I got as lucky as one could even hope, 80sgyrene was less than 30 minutes from me.
Initial thread was this one, where I was looking for tool advice:

MP15 Sport 2 mods tool choices

Several people offered help, this was the optimal one. I keep seeing more and more how well we firearms enthusiasts treat others, over and over all these years.

Thx for the kind words Sire, great to meet you. Glad I could be of help.
Usually hang out in the revolver section, but fate put me in the right place at the right time.....I don't even own a S&W MP 15..... lol
