The day after i sold the zook to <a href=\"https:\/\/neanderpundit.com\/?p=4629#comments\">Ed Hering<\/a> I sent a check off to Sarco for one of their <a href=\"http:\/\/e-sarcoinc.com\/search.aspx?find=AR150\">parts kits.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>The parts kit has been assembled; it went together like butter. I cannot, of course, install the gas tube or properly install the forend until I tighten the barrel nut, and I haven&#8217;t yet staked the gas key, but I  hope to have both those things done before next weekend, when I intend to do some shooting. <\/p>\n<p>The function check on the hammer and disconnect is flaky, I&#8217;m digging around for info on that but I am not surprised as the kit is very inexpensive; I expect a little work or better quality parts will fix it, I will find out soon. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, yeah. $485 for an M4gery. Not including shipping and whatever it&#8217;s gonna take to get the trigger working properly. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So the AR still is not technically complete.
