The KNS pins they have on sell are not the "non-rotating" type. I am not sure the regular pins would be any better than the pins that came in my lower build kit. Thanks for the feedback though.
I finally took the AR to the range tonight for the first time and at first everything was great. But after shooting 30 or so rounds I had the trigger pins fall out. Once that happened obviously the trigger was loose and would not function correctly. I think my solution may be to install some...
Thanks Shrek926 for your offer. I got so flustrated yesterday that I removed the Timney trigger and installed the stock kit trigger. If we can work it out I might still have you look it over. The Timney trigger functions so much better. Sent you a PM this morning.
Yes, it is installed correctly. The issue is not the pin falling out. That only happened because I backed off the set screws of the trigger to see if the selector switch would operate correctly. It did work correctly but without the set screws being fully tightened the pin is too loose. My...
I have completed my first AR-15 and have encountered an issue that I need some feedback from the ODT brain trust. I used a build kit for my ODT lower and swapped out the standard kit trigger with an AR-15 Timmey small pin trigger. The Timmey trigger utilizes two set screws to put pressure on...
Any recommendations for a can of spray paint that is close to the flat dark earth color? I have searched the ODT for a post of someone that used a camo color of spray paint, but now I can not find the post again. If someone has a link to the other thread with a photo with the brand of spray...
I was looking to match the dark earth color and also have a place to mount the front sight. The tube that comes on the upper does not have any mounting rails. Your suggestion about painting it is an option, but I still have the issue of where to put the front sight.
Thanks for all the feedback. Yes, the upper comes with a carbine length aluminum machined free float handguard tube. I may keep it as is at least initially. With this set up my only option for the front pop-up sight is on the gas block. Is heat going to be a problem with the Magpul impact...
I have one of the original OTD lowers and have a SOTA Arms complete upper on order as part of the ODT group buy. While awaiting for the upper to arrive I have been gathering some accessories to customize my AR-15. I have a Magpul stock, grip, front and rear popup sights, trigger guard, and a...
I am the lucky owner of a ODT lower and have an SOTA 5.56 stainless complete upper ordered. I have a build kit for the lower. The last part needed is the stock/buffer assembly. The stocks I have looked at are available in either mil-spec or commercial-spec. My question is what version do I...
