4/17 update

lower ready to go. adventure begins


taped up. next time gonna use thicker tape like electrical tape over blue tape. damn punch went right thru the blue tape


more tape. gimme a break it's a brand new noveske. it still wasn't enough IMO


pushed in with vise grips


then finished with punch. note to self: use roll pin punches next time. regular punch fkd up the pin

bolt catch in. Geissele trigger installed


crap! needed to install safety first. trigger comes out and safety goes in. grip on


trigger goes back in and buffer ready for install


 8)


on but not tightened. don't have a castle nut wrench. need to buy one


skipped taking pics of the takedown pins going in

ready for the upper


lessons learned:
have the right tools for the job. gonna buy some roll pin punches
safety first!...before trigger
I think next time I'll do everything using my tipton gun vise w/ mag block

Hope to be completing the upper very soon

isn't the Geiselle trigger the easiest to install.... it must have taken me 10 min, and this is the first trigger I installed!!!

NICE BUILD!!!! keep the pics coming

don't forget to run tape on the castle nut, mine got a few small scratches and its irritating me....

Looks great so far.   :thumbsup:

I recently finished my Noveske build and we have some of the same parts. It was my first build too and enjoyed doing it, looking forward to the next build.

Keep posting pics, I'm interested in your upper.

There are others that come in a "trigger pack".  Pretty much all the AR stuff is easy to do (less some of the delta rings).

it's actually the mid length upper from aero. the barrel is carbine length gas so the gas block is under the rail
