I had a BALL piecing this rifle together. It was difficult with the present political climate, but this site had a wealth of info and helped me find a lot of my parts via the "in stock" threads.

Sooooo, first the things I had to purchase.

Tools:
Punch set $15
Armorers wrench (amazon): $25

Lower

DSArms (LMT) lower receiver stripped -235

DSA LPK- - 80

Magpul MIAD FDE - 29

Buffer tube assy w/buffer and spring - 42 (local gun show)

I went with a CAA FDE Stock - 65 (local gun show)
_________________
$451 on completed lower receiver


Upper

Aero-Precision stripped upper -205

Wilson Arms 16" barrel, DPMS
low pro block and Carbine gas tube -175

Barrel nut -13

Troy bravo 11" rail FDE -168
_____________________
$561 so far

BCG is on the way, that was $200 for an LMT :(


All I need is a charging handle and an optic. I'm aiming for a Burris 332

So I'm into it about $1257.00 after I grab my gunfighter CH without the optic. Will be a nice $1600.00 built with the Burris. I LOVE it, can't wait to shoot it. I'll probably keep this one instead of sell it off.

I started last night

My assistants

The lower took me a while to get together, for my first build I think I did pretty good

Yeah :/, I couldn't find anything. Not sure if Aero has any in stock now, but nobody did a few weeks ago.

Officially functional. Need a birdcage and a scope now. Still probably going with the AR 332. Seems like the best buy for the money

Great looking build, like the whole weapon, really like the FDE on black.

You did real good job, but I don't think you could have done it without your assistants
