    Good call.

    You can totally do this.

    If you have ever seated valves in a cylinder head or tightened said head to an engine block, this is completely within your skill set, @Medusa.
    Since women tend to be a bit finer in hand-eye coordination, you'll likely have an easier time than many of us.

    I’ve done the second; probably the first at some point. We will see. I can do most stuff on a car, but I tend to take a long time and don’t always love doing it, and sometimes I just want a pro to do it. Plan b is I have my friend who has assembled many help / oversee / qc me, but with social distancing and the fact he has an elderly live in relative, that might be a ways off logistically. I’ll get the rest of the parts together and then decide.

    @Medusa, a can does add length and weight, but there are some compact ones that work pretty well. I used this setup at that Findlay team match so my partner and I could communicate more easily, and I wouldn’t kick up dust. And night shooting with a suppressor is just plain fun.

    We will see. I believe I’ll practice and train and take classes with what I’ll have and then figure out what next. I’m sure it’s nice to have but I should already have a fine weapon to work with. Before I drop a grand on a suppressor I’d be more likely to get a second, shorter length AR and get an Aimpoint for it. But we will see. I’m lucky to have what I’ll have as it is. Very lucky.

    We can get you hundreds below a grand on a great suppressor, just saying

    I can't really tell, but it looks like in the photo of the lower you posted that the bolt catch paddle and forward takedown pin are already installed.

    These are the only two kind of hard (mostly just annoying) aspects to assembling a lower. The rest is stupid easy. Just make sure you torque the castle nut to spec (40 ft/lb IIRC) and stake the receiver endplate to secure the castle nut.

    Or get a Trash Panda that comes with two muzzle devices. That’s how I justify it to myself since Surefire muzzle devices as an example are usually a couple hundred each.
