"There are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those who don't."
I admit to being a bit of a computer geek. Over the past ten years or so I've done my share of computer and web programming using more languages and acronyms than I care to remember. About a year ago I was browsing a local gun classifieds and found a guy building AR15s from parts. I didn't need an AR at the time, but happened to look closer at the pictures. I noticed that one of the rifles was built on an RRA lower whose serial number was all ones and zeros. I emailed the guy and asked if he still had that particular AR, and he did. A few hours later, it was mine. I parted it all out except for the heavy barrel and the lower. I ended up building up the AR I wanted using the heavy barrel a DPMS lo-pro upper, and all manner of other goodies.
But there's nothing particularly digital or binary about a .223 rifle, cool serial number or no. I've been wanting to build a 10mm upper and happened to notice Midway had the Olympic Arms complete uppers in stock. So I ordered one. It arrived last week. It dawned on me today that a 10mm upper goes right along with the binary theme!
Since I wanted to change a few parts out on the lower, I decided to go ahead and strip it down and take pictures of the build. I'm sure it's been done a million times, but I'm also sure there at least a few here that may find it interesting. I think I have everything on hand that I need, so I'm going to start wrenching and photographing.
