"another" New guy here building my first AR.
Hey guy, I've been lurking around here for a while and registered about a week ago. I am starting my first AR build. I've read a lot on here and wish I found this place before I started. This will be my first AR rifle and first rifle period. I am from Massachusetts and this rifle will need to comply with our AWB.
Well anyways here is what I have so far and why I purchased the item.
I bought a upper and lower receiver in a group buy from another website I'm on. The upper and lower were made by MEGA machine, and I have a RRA 2 stage trigger installed.
I have a YHM 14.5" diamond carbine barrel. Got it for $110
Just bought a YHM diamond series rifle length quad rail. I know it's a bit big and heavy, but.. I got it new in box for $140 with a surefire 6p light and mount.
Now this is all I have so far.
When I can save up the rest of the money I'm looking at getting the following parts.
-Troy low profile gas block with carbine gas tube
-YHM diamond muzzle break. (to match the barrel and rail)
-BCM m16 bcg
-gunfighter charging handle, medium or large latch, not sure?
-Ace skeleton stock, the shorter one. With H2 carbine buffer and spring. (need a fixed stock in MA)
-Troy buis, I was thinking of going with the HK style front.
-optic, aimpoint or eotech, not sure yet.
Any pointers would be great. I won't get mad if you make fun of me.
This will be my "go to the range" "home defense" "shtf" gun.
I'm glad to be here and look forward to posting and learning a lot.
I will try and take some pics tomorrow for you guys.
