If you're smart about it parts ARE available. Are you wanting to buy one piece at a time, or complete lower and then complete upper?

I'm new to the AR world so ill probably buy a complete upper and lower.

Anybody need a protege? I need someone to take me in under their wing.

If you're not going to get the high end parts, complete uppers and lowers can be put together for $800ish. The hardest thing to find right now are affordable mags and ammo.

Found a guy locally selling a S&W AR M&P for firm $1200.

200 rounds have gone through it.

Thoughts gentlemen?

Not a terrible deal for this market. I sold an M&P for $1600 last week.

1 mag.

Appears to be metal.

ETA: What specifics should I be looking for when buying used AR when inspecting it before purchase?

shite, never mind. Not sure I can do all that by myself. I'd have no idea what I was buying. Probably just buy one.

If I bought a complete upper and a stripped lower and lower parts kit, what ele would I need? Stock, grip, rails?

Did the LPK come with butt stock? If not, you need that.

Your upper came with bcg, charging handle, and rail?

And you'll need a buffer tube

PSA had a complete lpk w/ buffer tube and collapsible stock yesterday, but I don't see it today. IF you were able to find a stripped lower that's what I'd look at. If not, get a regular lpk and you can find buffer tubes and stocks out there.

The upper will probably come with rails, unless otherwise stated. If you buy a complete upper, make sure it comes with the complete BCG at a minimum, and preferably the charging handle also.
