AR Style Gun

[Jasper Jake]

I just built a lower assy. I got it from Spikes. I just ordered a upper from Stag Arms I haven't got it yet.

I have put several ARs together with all the accessories that I wanted for cheaper than a factory assembled one. The last one i put together for my father was 500 total. shop around for deals and dont rush it.

I'd definitely try to buy complete uppers and/or lowers or have someone you trust build one. The more Frankenstein it is the greater chance of problems.

im in the middle of a build myself. i got a stripped RRA lower, trigger kit and magpil acs stock. i like building because i get to put what i want on it instead of buying a whole one and replacing parts. think about what you want on it.

I'm looking for a AR style gun, so here's the question. Should I buy a complete rifle or build one? I'm on a budget. I'd hate ti sale guns to fund the AR. If I built one, I'd have no idea what to buy. If I bought one complete, who has the best gun for the money?

What do you want to do with the rifle?
What is your budget?

It would be more for targets than anything. When I'm done I would like to be under 1k. I really want to build it for the most part or at least the lower. I was thinking of going with AN UPPER THAT WILL CHAMBER A 7.62 X 39 So I can afford to shoot it. I will have to build it over time, I'm sure before I'm done I'll have more than 1k in it lol

I started by buying an AR, then joining the USMC, then bought another, then started building them. I think I've built a dozen now over the last decade or so. And sold all the complete guns I bought.

But when I bought my first, the Internet wasn't an available resource. If you are at all mechanically inclined, spend some time over on ar15.com. There are instructions on putting the lower together. Get a stripped lower, and an upper kit with everything else. Spend some time building and learning how things work together. The second, and subsequent builds get even easier. I think the cheapest I've ever put one together was just under $600. But that was all new parts (stripped lower and upper kit). Of course, that's a basic 20" A2. I've built some that I had well over $1K in too. Depends on what you want exactly.

For target get a COLT CAR3 ELITE H-BAR with the 24 inch STAINLESS STEEL barrelYou can find some used ones for under $900

The advice I often give is "buy your first, build the rest".

If I bought one complete, who has the best gun for the money?
