I am awaiting NFA blessing on a M16. I didn't buy it to be a safe queen. But, I would like to protect the investment.
I am planning to strip the lower all the way down and build it back with new parts. I want to keep the original stuff in as good of shape as possible. I also plan to switch uppers. Does this sound smart or a waste of effort?
For the lower, is there any recommendations to protect it? I am thinking about whether a gun skin might protect from scratches. But, would a skin cause issues with serial number? Can it be obstructed like that? Again, worth the effort?
Are there any other things I should do to protect it while I enjoy it?
thanks!
