Ok, so I just finished my first ever AR-15 build. And let me tell you it really feels awesome to have put this thing together myself. I'm so glad that I chose to build rather than buy a factory rifle, especially for my first AR-15. I feel as if I know more about the rifle having had the opportunity to see and touch it while it was still a pile of springs and pins. Also, for anyone reading this who thinks they could never build one, you are wrong. I'm pretty sure most 10 year olds could fully assemble an AR, given the right tools. It's super easy. Anyway, here's a parts list and a picture for all you pic hounds:
•BCM Standard 16" M4 Carbine Upper Receiver Group ($399)
•BCM Bolt Carrier Group ($139)
•BCM Gunfighter Charging Handle (Medium)($44)
•Daniel Defense EZ CAR 7.0 Quad Rail ($148)
•Palmetto State Armory Stripped Lower Receiver ($49)
•Palmetto State Armory Gen 2 Lower Parts Kit ($44)
•Palmetto State Armory Mil-spec Buffer Tube Assembly ($39)
•Troy Industries Folding Rear Battlesight ($79)
•Magpul MOE Stock ($57)
•Magpul BAD Lever ($29)
•Magpul AFG2 ($34)
•Magpul MOE Pistol Grip ($19)
•Magpul Enhanced Trigger Guard ($9)
Grand total: $1089.00
Please pay no mind to my filthy counter top! Anyway guys and gals, let me know what you think about my first build. I'm really excited about it. I will post range pics as soon as I can. I'm waiting on 1000 rounds of XM193 from PSA right now, so it shouldn't be too long before I can get my new toy out shooting. I'm also waiting on rail covers and a few other small pieces, and I'm also trying to decide on an optic (Strikefire or EOTech?!). I will post pics of any changes or extras that I add along the way, but for now, I'm out!
