Finished another AR15 I think I’ll call it Morty….
July 25, 2011
I won’t post every item like last time but it has alot of the same guts as a previous build of mine. Some of the parts came from RedXArms.com. The more I do business with Neil, the more I like his website. The products are proving to be of outstanding quality. My only complaint is I dont like waiting for things to come in the mail. Cant have everything I guess.
PICS!!!
All in all it shoots like a dream ( 460 rounds and NO MALFUNCTIONS). Also I am really loving the FailZero bolt carrier group and trigger. I have yet to lubricate it and its still kickin.
Also I feel that I should tell you guys that I am employed for an online retailer of gun accessories and that I am in no way being compensated for this blog. I do this because I want to share with you guys the things that I think are worth sharing in the firearms industry. ( As an employee, I do get a pretty good discount on parts though :D)
With that in mind if you are interested in any of the parts you’ve seen in my posts you can probably find them at:
or
Also, if you call in and ask a gun related question, chances are I’m answering it. Did I tell you I love my job? Because I do. đ
Tisha is finally complete! (HUGE POST)
March 11, 2011
So after about 6 months of researching parts, placing online orders, waiting for them to come in, and partial assembly. It is finally over.
She is up and running and shooting like a dream.
Here is a rundown of everything that went into her with links to where I got them (when available) if you feel like building your own.

As soon as the weather gets warm I will be posting a video review of each part as well as the rifle as a whole. I will do my best to be objective as possible.
Also I feel obligated to mention that RedXArms prices scared the crap out of me before I called them up and spoke with Neil (why so cheap?!).
He seems to know what hes doing and the parts I got are top notch. Shipping took longer than expected but after I got them they exceeded my expectations.
Feel free to sound off if you have a specific questions about any of the parts or assembly.
