Coworker built her first rifle

[bolus]

My coworker wanted an AR 15 and she wanted to build one as well so she could "know how they worked better."

She bought her own stripped receiver and I helped her pick out the rest of the parts.

With my guidance she built this from parts this afternoon. Took her about 90 minutes. I'm very proud of her for jumping right in to build her first firearm. not even a single scratch in the finish (unlike my first build). (Aero upper and BCG, Geissele stage 2 trigger, seekins bling parts)

Well, it appears she has good taste. I really like the red accents.

What mfg is that foregrip?

Clean. Real clean. What's not to like here?

Seekins for the red foregrip, mag release button and ambi-safety
Angled Forward Grip
SP Safety Selector Kit

She is an artist as well and was trying to make it unique. The red accents were just enough. not too much. It looked a lot better than any of my builds *jealous*

I'm glad you showed her how to use the support blocks under the trigger guard
pins. Nothing ruins a build like breaking one of the ears off.
Now you can help her learn how to handle it properly.

It looks amazing! I wouldn't care if it was good, bad or ugly. The fact that it is a woman and she wanted to build her own AR is down right awesome. Welcome her to the rabbit hole.

Nice! I like the colors too. Glad to hear you were able to assist her in the process, and in HI of all places!

Good looking rifle and she had a good teacher instructing her.

She actually wanted to build an 80%'er but her husband thought they were illegal to build here (they are not as long as you serialize them and register them). she did not want to ruffle his feathers so bought a 100% receiver.

Sounds like she has a wife.

Edit: What a rockin' woman to want to build her own rifle.

Glad you were the one to approve her sanity check. ;-)
Looks good!

You're forgiven.
just so long as the hammer spring was installed properly.

Understated elegance.....

 

[clearconscience]

That is one good looking rifle.

Good on her! And you for helping her!

 

[biggie24420]

All she needs is a red lancer mag and an AimPoint.... and a magpul sling
