Planned AR15 Build (Simple)

[GunJunkie91]

So, I am plaining to build an AR-15 custom. Sort of like a custom PC. Only difference is I am going with a complete upper and lower for the first build. I was able to find some good uppers and lowers. And yes, it could be cheap and possibly not reliable but I am attempting to keep the price under $500 if not $400. Let's began.

AR 15 Building

Lower Receiver Complete = $224.99
Upper Receiver Complete = $189.99

Total =$414.98

Barrel looks kinda skinny. Might not be MD kosher

Oh no. But wait, it should be good. It is over 16 inch and it can be shipped to the crib.

Gotta be advertised as or marked HBAR, Tiger….

BCA sucks.

Only 5.56/.223 needs to be HBAR. Any other caliber you can do WTF you want…

That definitely looks like it be a heavy barrel, just not in the caliber you wanted

Shipping lower to FFL and upper to your home?

I know that but it is being caught with the weapon that is concerning. I am not trying to be made an example out of.

Yep. MD gun laws. Trust them…you’re safer.

LoL - it was a question not a recommendation.

BCA is not a good brand. Have you looked at Delton? They make an HBAR upper and are better. Opt for their chrome lined barrels (only a small up charge).

Also before anyone says it, stay the hell away from Radical too.

But since your goal is to stay at $400 complete, no one here can really offer you much good advice. You can get close to that and do a lot better than BCA by assembling it all yourself but I would not recommend that in your case.

Good luck.

I am PUI while on vacation.
Nothing else to add.

 

[Growler215]

I'm not sure pulling out 2 takedown pins, slapping on an upper, and pushing the pins back in counts as a "build."
Just saying. . .

Thank you. Right now I am just doing a simple build with the "bag for your buck" while also doing an entry into putting a AR15 together. As far as DEL-TON, I do have a build planned for that too. It will be done down the line when I have a mode hands on approach.

Good luck with the "bang" part.

Plus, what Growler215 said. I wouldn't call this a build. Nothing wrong with what you are doing, but a "build" it aint.
