I had the same reservations as you last Christmas, I ordered my first AR complete. Once I had it in my hands, I found that they are quite simple, so I ordered a kit for this Christmas from Olympic Arms, went with a 16" Eliminator. I am so looking forward to Christmas day. Go to this link page: [url]http://old.ar15.com/docs/assembly/lower/[/url] Let me know what you do, Rancid Lance |
| I built a 16" M4 several months ago but didn't use a "kit". Just bought a stripped upper and lower, then the barrel and all the other parts needed and proceded to assemble them. It all went real smooth. Also, it shoots great and after about 4 or 500 rounds thru it, haven't had a lick of problems or malfunctions. |

If you've ever built a plastic model, played with Lego's or an erector set as a kid, you're ready for a kit. For your next rig( there will be) you'll be ready to piece together a scratch built!

Quoted: alpo and notack, is it cheaper to build from scratch than a kit? Got my complete Oly kit for 424.00 Lower for 105.00 Rancid Haven't never added everything up. Will have to see if I can find any reciepts that I saved and see if I can add it up. Don't know if its any cheaper but Had lots of fun putting everything together and you know every piece in the rifle when your done. |
