| Ok so I have a lower reciever built minus a stock, but thats where I am torn. Part of me wants to build an M4 style AR but at the same time id like to build an M16 style to resemble the one I had in Iraq (obviously not build it to an exact match). I dont have a stock and so Im not sure if I should get a collapsable stock and build a 16" upper and then a 20" upper and swap them as I feel like shooting each. My best friend says I should do that, get a car stock and build the two uppers then later word on another lower. Anyone have a suggestion that could help me out? My next option is to flip a coin and see what happens. |
| Longhorn, ill be honest and say I have no idea what you mean by BRD, please enlighten me. OU, since you mentioned making a lower on the cheap I should mention that my lower is from Essential Arms, cheapest I've seen, $100 for a good lower. My LPK is from Rock River. Without shiping I spent a healthy $175 so far. Tack on shipping, I have spent about the same as a "name brand" stripped lower or preassembled lower would cost. Not to shabby in my book since I got them while AR parts were super scarce after November. Lol |

Lol BRD = Black Rifle Disease While not fatal to the carrier, Black Rifle Disease causes serious issues with any wallets and/or credit cards which might be nearby. Strangely however BRD affects each differently. Wallets tend to suffer severe weight loss while Credit Cards tend to suffer massive increases. As for the lower cost comments, the point being made was that compared to the upper cost, the lower is still very cheap. You were talking about two uppers anyway so his point was spend the $250 to put together another lower. $190 or so for lower and parts kit and grab an A2 stock out of the equipment exchange. < 250 you should have a complete A2 stocked lower. |

While not fatal to the carrier, Black Rifle Disease causes serious issues with any wallets and/or credit cards which might be nearby. Strangely however BRD affects each differently. Wallets tend to suffer severe weight loss while Credit Cards tend to suffer massive increases. Thanks, Doc. Is this covered under my PPO? I'm BRAND NEW to the "black gun" thing. I swear I'm gonna kill my buddies that got me into this! It's not like I have enough problems, already... golf, fishing, etc... Get used to my username, folks. I'll be that eternal 4 year old that keeps asking questions. ('cause I ain't gotta clue, right now. I'm still trying to decide weather to DGI or Gas Piston or scrap the "build" and just go buy a SIG 556!) AAAAHHHHHHH!! |

One of each? Hell build 1 of each in OD, UDE, Black and Tan!!! Then go build a Recce, a Dissy, an AR Pistol, a SBR and a Retro! Hell throw on a few suppressors and then tell me you can't decide which to shoot. Your wife will complain to her friends about how every time you say "lets go to the range" it takes you 30 minutes to decide which rifles to bring because you damn well know you can't carry them all in your truck with ammo and gear!! BRD is fun, until your house forecloses your credit goes to hell and your broke to the point where your living with your 98 year old MOM! But let's not stop there, you've got a full time job 5 days a week and two part time jobs on the weekend but you still can't afford to sell those precious EBRs and YOU KNOW YOU ARE SICK!!!!.... BRDs a B****. Welcome to the forums! 
PS. I'm just scaring the noobs! None of this will happen, as long as you promise to send your rifles to me for extensive testing!
