I managed to get a BA 5.5" barrel for $25 shipped, the upper receiver for $40 and the handguard for $25. The lower and bolt are borrowed from my 635 build, the rest of the parts were spares. I'm eventually planning on getting a Colt mag adapter for a spare SBRed lower and the Odin works H-FRT-9 so I can Super Safety it alongside a dedicated BCG.
2010 Ford F-150 FX4 came in for front end noise, it turns out the front hub bearing was destroyed. It also broke the 4wd actuator and the caliper bracket was grounded down. We had to replace the hub assembly, CV axle, caliper bracket, brake rotor and the 4wd actuator
2024 Mazda 3 with 55k miles came in for a misfire on cylinder 2. I went to check out the spark plug/coil and found out that the spark plug was broken in two, I had to extract the lower part with an easy out. It ran great with good compression after vacuuming out the broken spark plug porcelain and installing a new spark plug/coil.
This started out as an old 10/22 Talo I-Tac Tactical but I decided to build a bullpup since I already have four other built 10/22s and a 22 Charger SBR. I'm planning on SBRing the receiver and adding a 10" barrel which is the minimum length for this stock.
The only thing I had to buy was the receiver and bolt buffer, I still have to find the barrel band screw.
Kia Sedona came in for overheating problems/ no A/C at idle caused by the radiator fan not coming on. Scanner picked up a fan controller code so I went to check it out and found this mess. The fan controller had been replaced before and someone decided to screw the power wire in place, glue it and add some electrical tape for good measure since they either broke the connector or it melted. I had to get another connector from the junkyard.
The car was leaking at the water outlet, the aluminum just crumbled away if you scratched it. It had a bad engine ground cable which was replaced, the new cable also cleared up some electrical issues. Surprisingly it sealed with a new water outlet plus some silicone after some vigorous cleaning. They didn't want to spend too much money on it since it had a lot of miles and they were going trade it in for a newer car soon.
You can use this on a standard upper but you need the BAR nut APRH100268 which is OOS everywhere at the moment.
