Light Practical Carbine - Assembly Instructions

We have published the first draft assembly instructions for the Light Practical Carbine. Rather than having a PDF or video we opted for a dedicated mobile friendly website full of pictures.
Some of the steps and pictures might change. French translations will be available shortly!

For those of you who want to see how the rifle goes together, here's the link:

thank you very much.

im not a geek and my phone is not able to see it the proper do you think you can bring it in pdf as well?

Nicely done and easy to follow. Thank you.

Can't comment on mobile device usage.

But it looks great on my normal computer.

Well done.

I know I'm very impatient, but does this mean the first batch is ready?

That's a really slick tutorial - worked on both mobile & laptop for me.

If one were to order a LPK to complete the assembly, are there any additional small parts (beyond bolt/pin, grip, trigger, etc.) needed?

I've moved into a "I'm not disassembling f**k-all on my AR until 30-Apr, 2020" and decided to buy new parts, including LPK & maybe a new fancy trigger, so I'm looking to make one order and call 'er done.

What phone and browser are you using? Worked well on Chrome on an Android phone for me.

The instructions call for grease to be applied to the barrel extension and barrel nut. Is there a preferred brand or designation for the grease?

Says lithium or moly. Almost any grease is going to work fine.

Here's a lithium grease that also contains moly.

I found some lithium-based wheel & bearing grease that I use on the ram on my press. When can I try it out?

We have updated the instructions with some minor changes.

fantastic step-by-step guide.

Is the pistol grip in that guide 3d printed? Can you link its location if it's available publicly.

Your little signature line about making sure democracy stays here seems to go great with you being prepared to comply with the government. Once you hand in your lower, be prepared to hand in the next gun they want.

is it possible to re post these instructions. the links above do not work. and nothing on your website.

finally time to build my receiver I guess...

I recall some weird things like detents going in backwards or something.

Thanks

+1 for those instructions

I built two and they both work well, a Norc and an NEA 10.5", both in 5.56. I tried an NEA upper in 7.62 x 39 and the surplus ammo gummed up, both the green lacquer ( 4 rounds) and the copper washed (16 rounds).
