Hi, im new here to ar15,com and also new to ar15's. I have shot guns my entire life but this will be my first ar build. I started with a budget of 800 but i have already surpassed that by a good amount and i still dont have optics or sights! I just finished the lower and have ordered my upper but still waiting to get it. Any way, here is what i got so far, im just looking for peoples thoughts and or opinions and wanted to share my build.
lower- s&w M&P 15 lower receiver dpms parts kit milspec buffertube assembly magpul acs stock Upper- PSA 16" hammer forged midlength upper troy 9" free float hand guard PSA BCG and CH Future- hogue pistol grip Magpul angled forgrip some type of optics, havnt decided yet, with back up irons. Sling mounted flashlight http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/jri93/get-attachmentaspx1.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/jri93/get-attachmentaspx.jpg |
| hahaha yea it was a red wine type of night. dont get me wrong, i do love my whisky!! But yes, i will definatly post a picture once the upper comes in. Judging by some of the things i have read about PSA it could be a while. Its ok though, im patient and for all the features it comes with it was a great price! |
| yes, i can tell i have gotten my self into a long and expensive journey haha.. But first i just want to get it to where i can shoot it. Then the other accesories i want can come down the road when i have some extra bucks here and there. Absolutely cannot wait to get the upper on this thing. I will post pics. Also, i need cheap suggestions for some type of rear iron sight. I just need something to hold me over so i can shoot it until i can afford some type of glass optics in the future. I would even be open to a detachable carry handle if there is a decent one for a cheap price. looking to spend as little as possible without buying trash. |

Update-
I received my upper from PSA on Feb 2, That makes for a total of a little under three weeks from the day i ordered till it showed up on my doorstep. Not bad if you ask me, especially since they are build to order with your choice of options. Any way here are some pictures, I also have a Hogue grip and a detachable rear sight scheduled to be delivered in a couple days. Along with some slip 2000 gun lube. Cant wait to shoot this thing! http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/jri93/ar-5.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/jri93/ar-4.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/jri93/ar-2.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/jri93/ar-1.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/jri93/ar-3.jpg |
| I would afford yourself a MIAD grip to go with your ACS. I got mine from PSA and mounted it... love love love love it! My buddy built his lower with me and used a standard grip (like yours) and they are really night and day! I've got big hands and it fits me way better! |
