Been thinking about building a budget AR for some time now. Think I might actually do it this time.
I want to build just your basic run of the mill AR15. Nothing special, no tactical stuff, unless I can find them for a great price.

Think I can piece one together for around $500.00 or less? I think it is doable especially with all the used stuff out there.

Give me some info on websites having killer deals on things or if any of you have items youself and wanna sell em.


Past builds...

Sarco has parts kits with all but stripped lower starting at 410 I believe. Model 1 sales has them about the same maybe a bit more. Rguns also similar deals.

Got my upper! Have to pin the brake and cut off the bayo lug. Rolling Eyes

Now does anyone have a stripped or complete lower there willing to part with?

No markings on it, but everything checks out fine.
