Hey all, I have been lurking for a while, just reading to try and learn a little. I have been wanting to build my first AR for a couple years, but since the wife and I are both hardcore into bowhunting and tournament archery, the budget really hasnt allowed for AR parts purchases.
After the sandy hook deal, my go to guy for gun questions says, you might want to try and get a lower receiver that way you at least will have something to build off of in case the gov't wants to ban the sale of them in the near future. So I shopped around a bit (prices were stupid high at this time) and found what I thought was a reasonable deal on a (hopefully) decent quality lower receiver.
I guess I'm trying to buy parts on a bit of a budget, but didn't want to skimp and just get junk pieces just to save pennies. So I tried my best to compromise between cost and quality, while at the same time trying to build an AR that has the features/look I had in mind.
So I'm just asking for insight/opinions on the parts I've purchased, and maybe what I might want to watch as far as possible issues with any of the parts, or what I would be wise to upgrade in the future.
- Anderson MFG stripped lower
- RGUNS complete BCG
- YHM complete flat top upper including:
--- 16" chrome moly barrel
--- 10" Reds Tactical quad rail
--- detachable A2 carry handle with dual app. rear sight
- PSA lower build kit including:
--- Magpul MOE buttstock
--- Magpul MOE pistol grip
--- Magpul MOE trigger guard
--- Mil-Spec buffer tube, trigger assembly, magazine release, saftey, and bolt release
Like I said, I'm a newbie, so not 100% sure, but I think all I need to make this gun shoot-able is a front sight post of some kind. Let me know if I'm missing something and what you think about the rest of it. I believe I'm about $810 in right now. The price I paid for the stripped lower absolutely killed the idea of making this cost effective, but it is what it is.
