    Where's that guy asking to build or buy first AR? This is his answer I think.
    That would be me! I saw this and it’s a very attractive price. I ended up increasing my price point a little and started looking at different parts to put together one with Aero Precision BLEM upper and lower. I figured after taxes, FFL fees and all I’ll end up spending around ~$550 out the door for a stripper spec rifle so why not increase the budget to something close to 650-700 and get a solid BCG and trigger. I think I have all the tools needed to put one together just looking at different parts and seeing what I want.

    I was able to score a nice deal on these and so I brought a bunch in and I am now passing that savings along. I have been selling this exact same rifle for many years and I have seen the price fluctuate from $900 (COVID price) to what they are now. Just last week this rifle was $569 and that was a good deal. Once these are gone they will go back to around that price I am sure.

    Overall it is a solid rifle. Is it a Colt? No. Is it a LWRC? No. So please do not compare it to those. But what it is, is a solid budget rifle at an outstanding price point.

    at $439 for the whole AR, to make it feel better/premium wouldn't this be cheaper for someone to just upgrade the trigger to one of those midrange drop in triggers, a nice grip and possibly a fancy charge handle and you have a sweet AR still under 600?

    Nice trigger will put you around 600

    Who cares about the grip and CH though. Honestly what do they gain you besides bling?

    I was thinking something like Rise Armament RAVE 140 Drop-in Trigger that can be had for ~100 when on sale and then use rest for something else or just drop the trigger in and call it a day. I'm sure the trigger upgrade would make it feel much nicer.

    What about an ALG ACT and a set of JP springs? Out the door with shipping $100.



    Or, sub in a PSA EPT - the intarwebs says that it's not quite as good as the ALG ACT, but it costs a fair bit less. I have two of those with JP springs, and they are markedly better than milspec. That with the JP springs is $50 - pretty solid trigger. I've never had a light strike with either of the ones I have. (FWIW, I didn't buy the trigger specifically - I bought it as an upgrade version of the Magpul/PSA lower build kit so that it would have a better trigger than milspec.)

    This is kinda crazy - available as an HBAR - sale price $229.


    It's bare bones and there'd be a few upgrades a person might want - optic, handguards, charging handle maybe - but the rest of it is pretty solid.

    Cash & Carry? Sorry I’m not up to date with the latest infringements.

    Yes. All long guns are either cash and carry, or banned.

    In 2013 the list of 'regulated' long guns that required a 7 day wait was turned into a banned list.

    The HBAR was an exception, so it was cash and carry with a NICS check then, and still is now.

    You still don't need an HQL or anything like that for a long gun either, right?
