Your Dream AR-15?

[Todes]

I'm new the forums, but I wanted to get the communities take on this. I've been looking to get an AR-15, but with all the recent news and scramble to get them its become $$$$$ and hard to find.

So if you could build your DREAM AR-15, what parts would you use?

I"m not saying its going to be easier to build one than to just hunt for a manufactured one. Thus far all of my stops for parts are all sold out just like they are sold out of AR's.

I bought off the shelf just due to price a couple years ago. It was a bushmaster, not what I wanted but had to have it. I just finished a build of what I wanted with cost a close second factor. I paid $950 for the Bushy, I built for less than $1000. Luckily I finished just before the panic set in!

Right now, lots of people's "dream" AR would be one that was actually in stock...

Dpms Compensator
Failzero bolt
ragio (sp) lower
CMC curved 3 pound trigger

Unfortunately, I have a lot of dreams that my safe cannot hold.

There is just so much stuff out there. All you can do is a lot of research , talk to a lot of people , and go to gun shows . Try and see what feels best to you.

At this point my dream AR is one that I can find parts for (reasonably). Of all the times to try and get my first one put together...

 

[colts1982]

i dont know if i would call it a dream ar but would like to have a high end noveske...by the way R.I.P

 

[Robjps]

I have mine tricked out exactly how i want it.

BCM Upper/lower
Troy alpha rail/BUIS
Magpul CTR stock/MOE grip
Geissele SSA trigger
Aimpoint Micro
Viking tactics 2 point sling
Surefire P2X

The only thing i plan to do is get a Surefire flash QA flash hider, and if i reallllllly feel like wasting money switching my Daniel Defense Aimpoint mount to a LaRue QD.

I just sold my dream one that I built this Summer. If things get better, I will think about building the same thing once again.

 

[Bikerdad61]

I pretty much built my dream AR this summer.
Maybe pickup a 7.5" upper down the road but I'm happy for now. Especially since AR parts have become $$$$$ and made of Unobtanium

 

[Lock n Load]

Starting a couple of new ones.... base is (2) Noveske chainsaw lowers, going with either a Gieselle trigger group. 10.5"- 12.5" noveske upper and supressed.... setting them both up alike.

I havent decided on stocks and pistol grips yet.... I have a bunch w/ MOE gear so something different....

 

[kbailey]

I like the LaRue billet uppers and lowers but really an upper is an upper and a lower is a lower (for the most part).

I'm waiting on the big brown truck of happiness for my current build, but here is the list of parts:

SI Defense lower
Core 15 upper receiver
ALG trigger
PRI midlength tube
Rainier Arms Match Series 14.5" stainless barrel
Magpul MOE stock
Magpul MOE grip
Global Tactical Thunder-bolt BCG
BCM Gunfighter charging handle

I need to decide on what muzzle device to pin to the barrel. I have a Rainier Arms XTC comp coming but I'm leaning more towards a basic extended A2 flashhider from BCM.
