Nice build. However, the thread title should be:

"What can't you build because of the election and the panic buying that has ensued."

My political build is a sad collection of parts awaiting the return of an SBR tax stamp.



I ended up having to hunt up a vintage XM177E2 stock instead of getting the repop from Essential Arms because the frenzy killed their phone lines but good.

I like the idea...For me...All my other guns have optics and fancy crap on them.  I wanted to keep this one simple and easy....KISS

don't have my camera here but mine is a Superior Arms lower and a 5 pos Mil spec receiver extension, thats it so far.  Apparently everyone else is doing the same so coming by parts as you all know is tough!  Now stop buying everything up so I can finish this thing!

If I told you how I came about all these parts pieces....The mods would yell at me for using up too much band width.  We will take a pic of what you have!

RRA and Tactical XD 45ACP. decided on desert brown for the ar and the xd matched so I felt like it was a sign to own another one.  both of these were directly because of Osama being elected. I really didnt need another ar but I am worried about the future like everyone else. and the 13 round mags are nice in the XD.

are those the new tactical toes I keep hearing about?

Here's my build. I've had the DPMS lower, Stag LPK, and CAA grip forever. Over the weeks before and after the election, I carefully browsed the EE and bought these parts for PRE-inflation prices along with 10 PMAGS:

Colt BCG (unfired)
Sabre Defense 14.5" M4 upper (unfired)
Colt carry handle (NIB)
RRA M4 stock (used)

So my M4 is "done", but I have a KAC RAS on the way, and I still need to get a Magpul winter trigger guard. Future plans include:

Some sort of optic (ACOG?)
Some sort of flashlight w/ pressure switch
Sling
Lots of ammo

I refuse to be ripped off and I refuse to be unarmed when the day comes.

I bought a Rock River Stripped lower in october. I couldn't afford to buy anything else for it so it's still stripped. Now, I can't find the friggin parts to build it.

Oh well, I'm comforted by my other 4 AR's for now.
