I wish I had that problem. I know exactly where every single spare part I own is. All 6 of them.

But how else do you justify buying parts to complete a build?

My spare PSA stock and buffer assembly and CMMG trigger guard are going to complete the transformation into a new lower tomorrow...

I have a pile of retro parts laying around, I've been thinking about getting rid of them for this exact reason.

I have three retro builds pending already, that's what happens when you spend money buying up parts instead of finishing what you already have. I've promised myself I wouldn't buy anything else except what I need to finish them, hopefully I keep that promise.

Small parts tend to remain just that for me, but yeah, major components-upper, lower, BCG, barrel-do tend to grow into rifles.
I had no intention of building another just yet, but there had been this stripped lower and assembled upper staring me in the face for a few weeks. It became a no frills 20" A3 over the weekend. |

I watch for sales on AR parts.
I usually don't have a plan on what I am going to build with them. They go into my parts boxes. When I see what someone has posted " with Pictures", I start digging in the parts boxes. I usually don't have to wait or hunt for the parts at vendors or on EE. I can build it now. Ron |

I know the feeling. Found a stripped lower in my safe. Had eVery thing but a buffer tube. Almost 2800 later I'm building a new gun and not even using that lower.

Well, I'm going to finish my lower tonight. And I have already figured out that it's going to leave me with a safety selector, grip screw, and the two FCG pins...
Fuck. Guess I'll be buying another lower.
