Go to a good gunshow , buy a complete lower, then buy an upper for it. Cheaper that way.  

Welcome to ARFCOM !

Welcome from an old Longview boy now in Dallas area.  Talk to Robbie at Lone Star Wholesale at one of the shows.  He'll take good care of you.  Also -- [email protected].  Most people around here are his customers.

Just in college in a military science class where we had to strip M-16s. I met a guy at the gun show in Tyler last weekend that's given me some pointers. A build party sounds good though.

I live in Tyler, but work in Longview. My wife has family in Bogata so I'm through Mt. Plesant all the time.

Don't buy local, Lock N Load would be the only AR15 shop in town and .... well just don't buy from them .

Order either a complete upper from online (look in the EE) or buy the parts and build it up.

I can tell you right now that the Longview show sucks, and if they do have any AR parts there, they are overpriced.

You will be seeing a change in this in the near future.

You can get some good deals here on the used parts, have to be quick, figure out what configuration you want and shop. M&A, J&T, Delton, and others for new uppers shipped. Buy used parts here and I'll put your barrel on for you. every thing else needs no special tools.  Eddie
