You building from an 80%?
Or are you buying complete?
Was thinking going the 80% route.
Buy, prices are down to normal and the shelves are full, in fact down here in North Carolina, the shelves are too full and great deals are to be had if you have cash.
Yeah this is true too.
I don't mind building out my own lowers with what I want, but when I am ready for another upper, I will just buy a complete upper somewhere.
Every firearm you own should be an ingrain on strip and build, if not why own it, everything I have, from M1 to M1A to 700's to 870's to 45's to wheelies is a go and get er done, if you own it you better be able to fix it, sorry folks that don't like my attitude, **** your selves when the SHTF!just my $.02
building one is great because you learn exactly how everything go together. after you know how it all goes together you can fix it or upgrade yourself
Building an AR is fun but you won't save any money. The advantage is that you will get exactly what you want. This is a fairly simple operation; if you can change a flat tire you can build an AR. Check out Brownells web site.
Thinking about either building or buying an AR type. Wanted to see what thoughts were on building up your own versus a straight purchase of a ready to go firearm.
