- original poster says 'only criteria is a flat upper' - Everyone has posted suggestions of what to buy but have any of the suggestions been flat uppers (except for mine)? - If I missed a flat upper post can someone point it out to me? most if not all. the spikes has a front sight base on their website and the delton link showed a front sight base. which one of the links shows a flat top? (I am just curious on how you find the flat tops). 
You want a gas block instead of a front sight. Flat upper refers to..well...the upper I learned something. thanks! |

Hey everyone I am interested in doing a build for the first time. I am looking at that link posted of the kit of 465 or so but I would spring for the chrome lined bolt carrier and upper. My question is does this come with a buffer tube and EVERYTHING needed to complete a ar15 minus a lower? Thanks in advance.

Get the stripped lower locally or through a different vendor to be shipped to a local FFL of your choice. |

CMMG bargain bin rifles are inexpensive. This. Also from what I've read they are pretty good to go. Also don't be a moron, don't shoot trees. Buy a 2x4 and build a target stand. Geez... word. Also be aware of whats behind your shooting... shooting trees doesn't sound like you have a proper backstop. What did that tree ever do to you? Can't you feel its pain? 
....but seriously, go with Spike's. |

Just remember cheapest on the front end may not mean cheapest overall. Add 100 or 200 to the cheapest for upgrades that should come with a well made weapon.
