hey yall, new to the site, this will be my first post. Ive been a gun owner/lover for quite some time and I have decided to build my first AR. Id like to build it from scratch and I'm wondering what it will cost me on average. Lets say I go middle of the road with all the pieces. What price am I look at overall? Is it cost effective to build your own? I just want an idea of the kind of money I need to set aside for this project. thanks for the info guys. I really appreciate it. |

Hey welcome to the site! There are alot of options and many ways to go about this. You can build from pieces or you can get a kit. I build from pieces but that is because I want specific pieces and have a very specific purpose for my rifles. For yourself I would recomend a kit. it includes a completed upper, stock and all the parts to assemble a lower. You just go to a gunshow or order a lower online (online requires a FFL transfer where a gunshow does not), assemble the lower with the parts included in the kit and then have fun! My recomendations for a kit would be Del-ton.com http://www.del-ton.com/AR_15_Rifle_Kits_16_s/57.htm With one of those kits and a lower you can get one for around 600-650! |

thanks for the link. So if i got that kit I would just buy a stripped lower, use the parts from the kit to complete the lower, and Id be finished? Another question. Is it cheaper to buy a complete upper and a complete lower seperately or to just buy a new complete rifle? thanks for your patience guys. Im sure in a few months ill look back at these posts and laugh like i did on my old 10/22 mod questions. |
| just finished mine, saw the gun i wanted at gander mountain for $1000.00 but didnt have the stock and trigger guard and barrel i wanted exactly. So i decided to build. I built one exactly the way i wanted that is alot nicer than the one at gander mountain for $800 bucks. I was very satisfied. It took me nearly 3 months to build thanks to RRA on my upper. Plus theres no tax! Hope this helps. |
