Thanks. Now I have to sell some rocking chairs to buy a scope. My dad is going to let me borrow a Leupold until I can buy one. From what I gather it will take quite a scope to handle the recoil of the rifle.
Edit:
I went out this past Sunday 3/10/13 and got it sighted in. I love this rifle. The recoil is not near as bad as I thought it would be. I got some pretty good groupings at 100 yards for my shooting ability. My typical groupings were two shots within a quarter sized hole with one that go a little screwy. I had a few where the shots were touching. Just wish it didn't cost so much to shoot.

Total Investment so far: $115 including shipping and transfer fees.
No paper trail back to myself. I intend my weapons to be undocumented.

So, in case anyone was wondering. It's a New Frontier Armory LW-15 Polymer Stripped Lower Receiver. Purchase Price was $80 + $15 shipping and a $20 transfer fee.

perfectly legal
Do yall newer members have any idea how many posts have been edited and deleted out of this thread over the last 5 years? The view count is way disproportionate to the number of pages. I love it. Only the introduction thread has more views on RPF.

In case anyone was wondering, I don't want the federal government tracking my purchases, especially when it comes to things they are trying to ban. When I get around to making full use of the internet, I do my best to shake anyone attempting to track me also. I would suggest everyone purchase their weapons privately. When Katrina comes inland, you will not want the feds knocking on your door to take the guns they know you have. Be safe, and be armed.
P.S. I'll keep you guys updated on my progress building this thing. I'm not going for the cheapest build possible, but I will have at least 2 different uppers. One .22lr upper and one full sized upper, I haven't decided on the caliber yet. I'll go for quality where it counts, but I'll try to go for the most durable setup possible for my budget. Any suggestions are welcome as this is the first firearm I've purchased. My friends will be glad to not have me wearing out their weapons in the desert. Now I'll have to let them wear out mine! This thing is going to be fun when I finally finish it.

Isn't there a question on the NICS check if the purchase/transfer is for you? So if your friend filled that out stating it was for him and then gave it to you, I'm pretty sure that's a "straw purchase" and illegal.
Not that I care, just sayin'.

Come to think of it, I have no idea what my friend said on the 4473. You make a strong case for selectively editing my posts. I'll get on that.

Excellent weapons handling, muzzle discipline and would you look at the placement of that trigger finger; exemplary!
Looks like a .22lr upper on that thing.

That whole thing is a .22, it's a M&P 15-22 from S&W. You can tell by the mag. Got one in my safe right now. Great gun for beginners.

Yes it is!
That boy's father and the father's attorney invoked Bill of Rights Article 4 in order to keep the JBT LEOs and CPS at bay.
That is good some exercise, yes?
As far as I am concerned, they and their fine weapons handling skills are welcome in the RP's Rifles thread.
I didn't follow the story but I have a photographic memory. It's something scary when a picture of a smart young man holding a well crafted American made rifle draws police at the door. I was raised on American made firearms, handled by smart Americans that knew what firearms stood for, both in survival and in preserving the American way of liberty.
Are you the father of that smart young man? I hope so. No need to answer...
