Hello everyone.

I was told a grand to restore it and it would never be safe to fire. So far it not only fires but has a grouping the size of a softball at 50 yards. I couldn't afford to spend $1000 to restore it into a mantel piece so I decided to do what I could and then I'd probly send it off to be finished by a pro hopefully saving some money. All I did so far was to clean up the lower and buy a new upper and barrel and grips and springs and magazine so I don't see where I stepped in and did anything wrong. I understand the pieces turned out by guys like Thor are works of art the likes I could never hope to approach or eclipse and I'm not trying to. All I'm trying to do is finish up something that my father started but could never finish before he passed away.

If I have offended anyone in anyway I sincerely apologize as it was never my intention. I joined this forum in the hopes of either getting help for me to do it myself start to finish or to at get her in proper working order prior to sending it off to be finished by a pro as I just can't afford for them to do it all. If I'm wrong and have upset the forum I hope my apology will be accepted, if not mods please delete my account and I won't bother any of you again.
