Are you wanting to build the upper or just the lower?


Not sure. Is the upper easy to build for someone that is new to builds?

Keep your eyes on

Aim
Classic
Southern ohio
PSA
Century
Royal tiger imports
J&G sales
Buds
Sportsmans guide


These places have some good deals and some gunsmith specials from time to time. There are several more but these are the main ones I've bought from.

Southern ohio guns has SKS's for $279 right now.

The upper is super easy to build if you have the correct tools. I'm sure there is someone in br that has that can help you, but if not you come over to bedico one weekend and I'll show you.

You can get a complete upper from aim for $309.

PSA and primary arms also have some good priced complete uppers.

Hey guys. Looking to build my first AR. I have my own rifles and such but not my own AR and I have never built one myself. For the first build I would like to maybe do a budget build. I don't want to break the bank on my first one. What are some sites I should check out and what are some dos and donts. Also, which part requires to get it mailed for the FFL, I'm assuming the lower needs to be sent to a gun dealer?


got a DD V3 ill cut you a deal on. Also a new V5LW upper

Got my first AR this week.

Yup, she's a lefty!


Next weekend she'll get this


Stock should come in this week. Now I have to decide how much I want to spend on optics.

I'd say it's overpriced. But it ain't "way" overpriced. But as someone already replied, you can get a slightly better deal.

I don't think shipping is factored into the $330. Natchez is typically stupid high shipping so lets assume $350. That is ~20% more so in my mind, I'd consider that pretty damn expensive

Shipping wasn't factored in. That's a different story. However, .33/rd for xm193 is not way overpriced. In fact, it's not overpriced at all. I guess we are comparing to Wolf 2.23 brass, whereas that stuff is cheapest you'll find. XM193 is not Wolf 2.23, so I'm not sure where the ~20% more comes in to play here.

You can find Federal 5.56 on stripper clips for .28/rd every couple of weeks. Any .223/5.56 over .30/rd is too expensive when you can wait every couple of weeks and get good deals

You should link that .28/rd for 5.56 next time you see it. I've never seen it that cheap. .33/rd is pretty consistent for it today.
