One piece of advice to you is to watch your shipping charges. They can add up fast. Try to consolidate what you need to source from as few places as possible. (Providing you can get find what you want. A few extra bucks for small items is more than made up on saving shipping from somewhere else.)
Starting my first build as well, good luck.
That Joebob outfitters has free shipping on all orders over 90 bucks.

Just ordered the palmetto state armory MOE LPK that comes with the LPK grip buffer tube and stock in OD Green

I picked up one of Palmettos stripped uppers and it took 5 business days to get here. Shipping speed rivaled MidwayUSA and Palmetto was 2x farther away. +1 for PSA.

Who did you get the 10 round PMAG in a 30 round body from? I like the look of the 30 round magazines.
I got it from golden state tactical.. its a online store that sells California compliant stuff

Them little springs and detents can be tricky effers. I lost the rear detent spring in a build I was doing for a friend, was lucky I had a spare kit from having to replace a bad hammer spring in my own AR.

I tapped the back of my rear detent to take 4 X 40 allen head set screw, capturing the spring. Now i can change stocks without the spring going flying. It takes a .050" allen wrench. You will also need a 4 X 40 tap. No drilling is necessary. You will have to cut about 1/4" to 3/8" off of the detent spring. The set screws are a little hard to find. I found mine at a hobby shop specializing in RC cars. The size is commonly used on them I found out.

They make a tool for installing the front detant spring. But....after I bought one and looked at in I went down to the local hardware and bought a 1/4" clevis pin for a buck and small change. Was the same thing but had a few more holes in it.
Assemble the front pin a plastic grocery bag.
My mind is the weapon, everything else is merely an accessory.
The first issue of Recoil magazine has a DIY on fixing detent springs. Worth a look, I plan on doing it once I start my AR. Good build so far.

One question, I thought that stock (or any collapsible stock) was a no-go in NY. Am I misinformed?

Yeah technically the OP is in violation for having the stock attached to the lower at the same time as a pistol grip. However I'm sure he plans on pinning it and making it legal before he finishes it and takes it out of the house. Cut the guy some slack for gosh sakes. I haven't seen the NY stock police crusing the neighborhood and peeking in windows . (Not yet anyway, Afterall this is New York!)The first issue of Recoil magazine has a DIY on fixing detent springs.

The hot setup for doing bag assembly on springs is the clear dry cleaner bag. Somewhat clear and lots more roomy than a grocery bag....
Actually I don't think it would be in violation of the AWB right now because the gun is not yet semi automatic
But yes it will be pinned I just want to get the upper on it and get a feel for the different stock positions before I decide where to pin it..

I wasn't giving him a hard time. Being out of state for 22 years in the Army, I am trying to become informed on the laws as I intend on building myself an AR soon. I understand the pinning in place so it won't move, but can it be pinned in the fully collapsed mode? On my service M4 I keep mine fully collapsed and out one detent. I never intended on it coming across as giving him a hard time, I was simply asking a question on the legality of it. Subscribed, very interested in your build.Yeah technically the OP is in violation for having the stock attached to the lower at the same time as a pistol grip.

I see where you are located, You've got to understand that the further south in the state you go, the more paranoid you tend to get...
To answer your question, Yes you can pin the stock in fully collapsed if you want to. The state wants a fixed stock is all. No bayonet lug, (cause NY must have a bayonet attack problem,) no flash hider and if you have a compensator/muzzle brake, it must be pinned and welded or silver soldered as permanent so threads can never be used for a suppressor. Ten rounds max. on a post-ban magazine, pre-ban mags = any capacity.
Pre-ban guns can have all the "evil" features you want but the magazine rules still apply.

Glad you are interested
If you have any questions about the AWB laws there is a thread in the laws and politics section that explains them

Will be ordering this BCM BFH 16" Mid Length Upper Receiver Group When I get my next pay.. which Should be in my bank account when I get home from work tomorrow morning.....
Cant wait till this damned money pit is finished so I can actually keep a bit of cash in my bank account lol... Oh well you get what you pay for
┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐
Before anybody says anything about not having the bayo lug milled off or the flash hider replaced with a pinned muzzle break... I dont really think this could be considered a semi automatic firearm yet seeing as it dosnt have a bolt... no bolt it cant even be fired so it definitely cant be fired semi automatically... But I will have it 100% compliant before long
