Wow, I can't even believe that I missed that. What do you plan on using that AR for?

 

Scott if you wanna go on the cheaper side look into these..

Ive built several and never had a problem except one, i burnt the barrel out on my Delton rifle... $100 and back goin again, but the bullets dont hit sideways now... IT only took me 4 years tho. It shot good, 5-6" groups at 300yds with irons using cheap Tula ammo.



My latest build is a AR in 6.8spc, with a match poly 3 groove 16" barrel. Got a head shot on a tweety bird yesterday at 100yds

I have a AK47 and i have 4 or 5 AR15s.. I always take the ARs when i go out, The AK is ok but its not exactly accurate so it stays at the house where the longest shot is gonna be 100yds. Ive never had a problem out of any of my ARs, you gotta run them wet. Mobil 1 SYN 5w-30 thats left over after a oil change last a long time and cleans up easy.

 

Well I ordered all the other parts before work. Heres the parts list

DPMS stripped lower receiver
Stag Arms lower receiver parts kit
Stag Arms M4 2H upper receiver assembly 5.56 NATO
Rock River Arms buttstock

 

I pretty much did the same as your doing scott. Got mostly everything from J and J armory over here in cali when I built my ar15. Also Just pick me up an AR-10 lower. Gotta love a .308 on the ar platform

 

My 2nd AR will be a .308, but ammo costs are just too high to justify getting because it will just be a range gun.

 

Ya that's the only reason I'm building the ar10. Waiting for the end to turn to **** and ill have it when I need to reach out and get me some

 

If cost is your worry then you could always hand load. As prices sit right now, I can load custom match grade rounds for my rifle for $8 per 20 rounds. For a 5.56, it would be a whole hell of a lot cheaper.

 

But I'm in an apartment, reloading is not an option. Not to mention the initial costs of buying the reloading equipment.

 

Yeah it is expensive at first. You'll have to forgive me, but I fire anywhere from 300-700 rounds every week out of my rifle. If I didn't reload, the cost of ammo would be astronomical.

 

I've got several of both and prefer the AK. The AR is fun to shoot too, but it's an absolute bitch to clean.
