Do you live in a state that's not a shithole that allows you to exercise your 2nd amendment right? Have you been putting off on getting a gun because you're just too lazy?
Here's a quick guide to building your own AR-15 on the cheap.
This is the first part we're going to buy and it's the most important. This is the only part of an AR-15 that is regulated, you can purchase everything else without getting a background check except this. It will need to be mailed to a local dealer who will charge you a fee and background check you. palmettostatearmory.com/psa-ar-15-lower-safe-fire-1728.html
These are your run of the mill magazines. I'd say 10 is a good start but you can get as many or little as you want. You can also likely head down to any local gun store to purchase some and meet your local FLGS owner. palmettostatearmory.com/d-h-5-56-30rd-aluminum-magazine-8416.html
Some things to consider at this point: >Clean your fucking gun >Begin stockpiling ammunition. A little here and there never hurts. >Look for an optic. Iron sights are fine but red dots / acogs go great if you have the money
Yee, already have an AR, but the next thing I am looking to purchase is a Daniel Defense complete MK18 upper receiver, and put that on a Radian AX556 lower receiver. Not sure on what trigger I'd like to put in it, but I'm more leaning toward a Geissele Super Dynamic Combat Trigger
I've always owned AK's never owned an AR. I'm thinking about getting one our building one though. So I guess my question is: Is building one really worth what you might save in money? I've seen AR's going for around 350 dollars. It doesn't seem like a lot of savings, especially when you factor in the cost of tools. Would you get a better quality build for that amount of money? or would everything just be bottom of the barrel AR parts?

Building one allows you to get more familiar with the platform, will let you know which parts you may way to change or upgrade. There are some that are super cheap and some that are expensive, it just depends on how much you want to spend.
The one in the OP is only 365 plus an hour or two labor, but you can get a prebuilt DPMS oracle for 400

>Is building one really worth what you might save in money? yes if you build a half dozen. buying complete rifles is nice but they are only as good as the assembler, aka Palmetto State either way the golden age of ARs wont last past Trumps term
Parker Nguyen
I really miss the golden age of AK's desu senpai. We used to be able to get WASR's for 400 dollars and Russian AK's for like 750. I love the platform but I'm getting priced out of it so I'm thinking of switching to the AR. Thanks.

>literally told myself saiga rifles would always be cheep and around so i didnt buy one
How about a Springfield SAINT pistol? I get a first responder discount on it and it seems like a pretty good deal. What's the difference between an AR pistol and a rifle? They look the same except one's shorter, right?

>Imagine how utterly paranoid, fearful, weak, and cowardly someone must be inside to feel so desperately threatened by the presence of a powerful lethal weapon just doing what millions upon millions of people do every day without any problem at all I worked with a guy who was such a leftist pussy faggot that he broke in to sweat any time he had to walk by the armed security guard. They can't contain their projection, they know if they had one of those they wouldn't be able to control themselves.

Here is the blue print for ar lower, all you need is a block of aluminum, plastic, even steal, and a mill or drill press with x-y vice
I like the BCM uppers,some of the Palmetto barrels at least were FN and the hammered ones very nice.Some one mentioned the Geissele triggers,very nice but pricey,the LaRue 2 stage very nice and under a 100,to all get plenty of ammo/good sling/spare parts for bcg ect.,have fun shooting.
Imagine how stupid one has to be to think they are safe 24/7
Anyone got that quote from the black dude about how gun control is the epitome of white privilege?

>steal
But I'm white

BCM is good stuff.
I'd avoid PSA on the whole.
A couple other newer smaller shops doing great things are Sons of Liberty and Sionics. Son's has lifetime warranty on their barrels and bcgs.

I wish I had bought a Romanian PSL for 800 bucks back in the day. Now they're like 2k.
Chase Fisher
I have few PSA uppers. 16in 20in 300AAC. I haven’t had any issues.
Tyler Morales
Sounds solid...Daniel Defense makes a great platform. You should take a look at Battle Rifle Company I bought a BR4 Trident a while back and quality is top notch
David Wilson
Steel
Mason Taylor
Thought about getting a Colt or even S&W.
Then turned to FN-15 for considering.
Went full Gucci and bought my first AR-15, Daniel Defense DDM4 V7.
Feels good man.

Pic related is my current 5.56 build, considering building a 6.5 Grendel upper for it. Anyone with experience with that round?
Yeah people think more expensive rifle makes them better marksman
Jacob Ortiz
I understand a lot of folks do not like Palmetto(at times with good reason)but their better uppers with your bcg and charge not bad and price friendly for new assemblers.I would say for first buy probably just get a decent AR in the 600 range and grow it up/build one as you become familiar with the platform.A lot of calibers to choose from but would say go with 5.56 initially or go AR-10 in .308,a lot of parts/ammo for both in todays market.
That said,can set up AR in .22/(.223/5.56)/.300/.458/6.5/6.8/7.62/9mm,a lot to choose from in uppers.
Buying the equipment and learning to reload your own doesn't hurt either

Stop posting this shit to gullible noguns. PSA is literal trash, both AR15 kits I purchased from them have been fucked in some way. First came with a front sight base canted 10 degrees to the left, second one was literally the wrong build kit and I had to send it back in and wait 1 month for them to unfuck my order and get the right product shipped out.
Also I fell for the PSA $7 D&H mag meme too. Mine don't hold a full 30 rounds without jamming the first couple of shots and you have to smack the fuck out of them to get them to lock into the magwell.
>sight base canted 10 degrees Then get another gas block. if front sight is canted 10degrees your gas tube would be bent too
Mason Anderson
whats the best way to store it for awhile? im guessing cool dry place?
Connor Bailey
>wrong build kit Only two build kit user, rifle or pistol and they both work on any AR lower
Henry Bailey
Mil spec ammo box
Elijah Evans
You need a rear sight faggot
Gabriel Wright
I have never shot the 6.5 for poster asking,my friend loves the round but is shooting it out of a bolt action,he is getting into distance competition and trying many rounds for different ranges and as a hunter he always looks at new stuff but at moment sticks with the .308 as his hunting round.
WTF is with the captcha bullshit tonight,fuck......
