She's finally done!
After swearing off getting an AR15 due to all the hoops needed to jump through, ie the wall thickness shenanigans to prevent a full auto sear from going in, restricted status strictly for being an AR15, 5 round limit for rifles, etc, etc), I figured if the RCMP wanted to make it a pain in the butt to own, I'll just get one simply because we can.
Still managed to put a good scratch on the side of the bolt release from being careless. I didn't trust myself enough to assemble an upper so I went with a pre-assembled Daniel Defense M4V7.
Going to load up on 223/556 and go shooting with a coworker who has a Swiss arms rifle
