I do not know which direction to go with the ar right now. I have a custom made 5.5" flash hider to make my weapon 16" atf complied. anywho.. i am thinking of just rocking my suppressor on it and changing it out if the dnr shows up. i mean seriously, how many people have actually had there serial numbers run to see if they are pistol uppers, sbr uppers, or rifled uppers. Anywho..

probably not many people get caught. But i think the consequences out weight the risk. just pay the 200$ (or whatever it is) SBR tax and dont put one of those silly 5.5" flash suppressors on it.

Yes i am going to attempt a dehorn, using a little bit of filing, stoning and cratex wheels.

as far as the tools:

- 8" half round file
- 8" pilar file #0 swiss
- .220" radius beaver tail jig
- trigger track stone
- 6"x1"x1" fine india stone (for stoning primiary and relife angles on the sear
- marvell sear jig
- brownells trigger stirrup die
- cratex wheels

this is what i have/am getting this week to get me rolling. Will be in addition to my dremel and other 'normal' tools.

when i get around to doing fire control i may need to get a hammer jig, i have to look into that a bit more.

also, what do u think of this. i am thinking of measuring the diameter of the hammer and sear pins, and finding a supplier. I would buy longer version, half inch or so wider than the frame. That way you could put them through the frame like normal but would stick out the side, so you could drop the sear and hammer on them and inspect the alignment for safety and function. Considering you obviously cant see them inside the frame. They sell jigs for it, but they are like 80 bucks. What ya think?
