I've been wanting a AR 15 for some time now but didn't want to spend more than 1K on it so decided to try building a stripped lower for the first time. I have not decided on a optic yet but thinking about a Vortex Sparc Micro Red Dot. Thought it was going to be more difficult building the lower but it really wasn't bad at all. Thanks to everyone on this site that answered all my questions!!! Snapped a couple of quick pics with my phone. Here is what I have so far. Have a little over $800 in it.

Very nice looking rifle! You must have done your homework to build yourself a great, simple first rifle
The Vortex is a really good sight for the money. I have one. No problems. Primary Arms makes a really good optic too, but for half the price. You may want to check them out. If you went that route you could get the optic and MBUS and still have $50 to spend on ammo. Like others said, get your BUS before any optic. The only other thing I'd add to that rifle is a sling, then call it done! |

Nice build. I was in the same situation not too long ago. Went with a YHM filp up rear, and Vortex Strike- Fire red/green dot(wanted NV compatibility for least $)
Iron sight $80+ $165 for the dot, (the reviews speak volumes about that product.) Good Luck Shoot Straight |
