Both rifles are now complete

I ordered the holiday 10 pack of m2 windowed on 12/29 and I received my order last week. The non windows will probably take more, since it was most likely the default for many.

Same. I ordered a 10 pack of gen 2 windowed pmags on 12/29 and have not received an update on my order.

To back up my 5.45 decision, today I preordered another 2 tins (2160 rounds) of 5.45x39 milsurp for 13 cents per round and it has an ETA of mid January. On a side note, I also got in on a preorder for 10x gen 2 windowed pmags which supposedly work flawlessly with 5.45... It will be nice to be...

I updated post #13 with fully assembled pics.

Yea it is getting absolutely ridiculous. I had purchased my PPQ from S&W outfitters in Kansas and was pleased with the service, so I made sure to try them during my 15 sport hunting. Cal Jr. the owner, told me he didnt have any at the moment but would keep an eye out for me. He called me 2 or 3...

It has definitely become more scarce than it was before the election and CT shooting, but I managed to get in on a backorder deal on sportsmans guide for 14 cents per round so I grabbed a tin. It is scheduled to deliver mid-Jan. I will grab another 1080 round tin or 2 once available, but this...

I was a good boy this year so Santa hooked me up :) I will be ordering the rest of the parts for my 5.45x39 upper build as soon as I can find them... This whole post election + CT shooting ban-talk has really put a damper on my wishlist... :( I purchased the 5.45 barrel and bolt from Ballistics...

Here are pics of the fully assembled rifle as it stands currently:

I received my yankee hill rail and punch set the other day and I finally got a chance to put it all on. The gas block pins were a bit stubborn, but I used my trusty ping pong paddle, a bar clamp, a magnet, a fat punch, and a big *** hammer. I beat it like Michael Jackson, and they eventually...

I finally got the sport to the range last weekend. My friends and I got there with only 45 minutes to shoot all my firearms, so I only got to put a few magazines through it and they were relatively rushed. This is my first time to ever fire a rifle in my life, so dont laugh... too hard. I shot...

I finally got a chance to mount my vise. It seems to be pretty good quality for $36 shipped (see build sheet for details). It didnt come with mounting hardware so I had to buy 4 - 3/8" X 3.5" bolts, nuts, washers, etc... to mount it to my work bench. I received the b.a.d. lever, mbus front...

You guys might also be curious about the 1911 in the pictures above... When I bought the PPQ, I mentioned it to my grandfather in law. I told him that I was trying to get my wife (his grand daughter) to the range that night to teach her how to use the PPQ and about guns and safety in general. He...

(I updated the first post with a couple more pics of my virgin 15 sport.) I got some goodies in the mail. I bought the UTG Deluxe Covert Homeland Security Case from Amazon. It seems really nice for $55 shipped. Many of the reviews stated that the Deluxe was perfect for an AR and that the Elite...
