Some women sew, some scrapbook, some craft, and some...want to build ARs.
I was firmly planted on the couch last night, beer in hand, perusing some sights on the laptop. I've been looking for a .308 lower, and just doing some general research. I sense my wife starting to look over at some of them. It was some of the novelty ones in 5.56 on Spike's Tactical that got her eye. Out of nowhere she says, "Why don't we each build one?". As you can imagine, I was 100% behind that idea. Her reasoning was that if she was going to own one, why not know how it worked top to bottom (or upper to lower). Now I enter into this family project knowing full well that I married a pig headed,independent, stubborn, Irish Catholic Boston girl with a healthy sense of competition, and at the end of it, her build will probably be nicer than mine.
On a side note, I see this as a great opportunity to photograph the process and have her start a blog about it. With so many women entering the shooting sports these days, it would be a great way to normalize it to the nons and antis.
