Had some time top make chips this evening so I whittled away at my AR-15 forgings a bit. The task at hand was to bore and thread the 1 3/16-16 hole for the buffer tube, the anti rotation hole and the hole for the take down pin detent. The thread was fun because it required a fixture to hold the receiver in the lathe so I could single point the thread (I'm too cheap to buy a tap). I'm going to try to finish them before heading North over the fourth. One can never make too much noise on the fourth of July.
