    Recommendations for an AR builder.

    Living in Costa Rica and don't have the facilities to build them myself when I'm in USA, who do you recommend I could FFL ship all my parts to for a quality build? These are NFA/SBRs with the stamps and engraving, and triggers installed. Thanks.

    1. buy a factory upper to match to a factory lower.
    2. For assembly I’ve used and recommend adco firearms. Mstn, rainier arms, and Marvin Pitts (not sure of company name) are all highly regarded around here.

    These rifles are in the USA but once you get a permanent resident visa you can own guns and if you take the class can carry concealed.

    Thank you, I have a BCM upper for one of the SBRs, but the others need building an 11.5 and 14.5 middy.

    I've used Rainier and ADCO for different services relating to the AR, I was much more pleased with the former.

    I would have thought the AR pattern of rifles would be banned because of that stupid "weapon of war" rule. It's cool that they acknowledge it's not, I'm guessing due to semi-auto? How much is ammo there, is it plentiful?

    Out of curiosity, do you know if Rainier does port work?

    The ARs are in the USA, but you can buy "assault rifles" here. I haven't checked ammo prices yet.

    Todd,

    If I understand correctly you will be coming to the states and want to pick the rifles up then. Where are you going to be visiting/staying/whatever? The reason I ask is that if it is anywhere near me you are welcome to use my bench and tools, I'm sure other members would say the same.
