So I have a nice LMT MRP Piston rifle, and I'm planning my next gun. I'm kind of going for a KISS/utilitarian design. This gun will primarily be used as my backup for whenever I end up getting around to taking carbine courses, it might also become my girlfriends AR, or a truck gun/beater, or something to that extent. My goal is to keep this sub $750 and still make it decent enough to be reliable. I'm going cheap on the parts I can, but not super cheap. I figure for all of the functioning parts I want to splurge. So right now here are my two options:
Option 1: DSA Lower Receiver, DSA Car kit, Stag LPK, DSA Midlength 16" Upper, BCM BCG, BCM Charging Handle, Rear MBUS all for around: $693.80 -or- Option 2: DSA Lower Receiver, DSA Car kit, Stag LPK, CMMG Complete 14.5" Upper with Perm. Phantom, Rear MBUS: $755.90 I'm open to other suggestions, provided they meet these terms: -No longer than a 16" barrel -No HBARs -Around $750 -Telescoping stock is preferred What say ARFCOM? |

which ever route you go I say go middy or dissipator. the longer sight radius helps alot when your not running optics. I ran a course with a carbine sight raduis and with my dissipator and I did much better with the dissy. especially out at 100+yds.
thats my take. |

As a backup I'd consider getting a double star.
The quality durability and reliability is unmatched when it comes to pricing. Buds has them for $650 there barrels are individually MPI tested so slap a BCMBCG and you are lookin at $800 which seriously isnt bad at all |

Del-Ton is another option to look into for budget builds. They default to non-chrome lined, but you can add chrome lining as an option for only $45 more. http://www.del-ton.com/AR_15_Barrel_Assembly_p/dt1023.htm You can also chose to order without a BCG if you would prefer to buy your own "premium" auto carrier from BCM/LMT/DD. |

I went with option C:
There was a gentlemen selling a used upper (under 500 rounds, in exc shape) the consisted of the following: LMT 14.5" upper Colt FA BCG Colt M4 Handguards PRI Gas Buster charging handle ...for $600 shipped. I went a wee bit over budget, but I figure I got a lot better parts. Thoughts? |
