If the trigger is a turd (most are) you can add JP hammer/trigger springs. Could also do a little polishing for an inexpensive upgrade. You can also bore sight the setup n save ammo in the process. Pull the takedown pin. Pull the BCG. Place the rifle where it won't move and you have at least 100 ft line of sight. Aim thru the bore at a known point then adjust scope to same point. Voila

Mr Twisty, sometimes you do things dumb$!#& falls out of your brain. At first i thought the gun was faulty then i youtubed it and found it was my fault. I haven't played with AR for more than 20 years. Practice makes perfect right. I'll look into a better upgrades later down the line. Right now i just want to have a little fun.

They sell "oops" kits with springs and pins only. They're pretty popular too. (there's a reason why) The front takedown pin spring/detent pin will shoot your eye out
I've been fortunate that I've never lost a spring or pin, but they have put me on my knees looking on the floor a time or two.

True enough....works like a champ. Did this with my very first rifle....I did it at night too, I had a neighbor's porch light at the end of the block in plain view from an upstairs bedroom....put the light is the center if the bore and scoped it in. Next day went to the range and with 3 shots it was dead on.

How long a drive to the Four Peaks area from where you are, hr + ? You'll have to forgive me, when I lived there, there was no 101, 202 loops and such

Wow must have some time ago. I'd be willing to drive an hour for a nice secluded area.

My newest (to me) pistol. A DWM P08 Luger in 9mm. It's a short barrel ING Bank security issue pistol dated 1918.

Dad's Luger bring back was the first pistol I ever shot. Love them.
Midway has a decent deal on AR 7.62 build kit. Anyone ever built with AR Stoner parts?

I followed this video pretty much to a tee, during my initial tear down, inspection and deep cleaning. My dumbass though, still managed to snap the leaf spring on the toggle hold open . At least they are replaceable. These Lugers are hand crafted pieces of art.
@Mr.Twisty: What brand of ammo does yours like? And what defense load do you run through it?

No idea on the ammo, just start light and work up, it's a 100 year old gun.

The Germans build great guns, hence my choice of my PPQ. Beautiful gun you have there.
