Chasers First Build (now with pictures) > Build It Yourself

Posted: 12/26/2014 10:26:59 PM EDT

This is my first AR and my first full build.

I am waiting for a few more parts to come in to finish the build but if the barrel gets here tomorrow like I should it will be 99% done.

I will add pictures as soon as i am done but here is my parts list.

Lower
PSA Lower (given to me as a birthday gift)
PSA Magpul STR LPK
Timney Competition Trigger (got from a friend for a great price)

Upper
SAA Aero Precision upper receiver
AIM NiB BCG
BCM Gunfighter mod 4 charging handle
Phase5 Forward Assist
Strike Industries EUDC (black, flag)
MAS Defense 16" SS Spiral Fluted 1:8 twist carbine length
Strike Industries steel low pro gas block
Daniel Defense SS carbine length gas tuube
MidWest Industries 15" SSM M-LOK handguard
MBUS gen 2 front and rear iron BUIS
Vortex StrikeFire Red/Green dot
Vortex VMX-3T magnifier with flip mount
Fortis RED SS muzzle break

I figured for gun parts alone my MSRP total without S&H was almost $1,800 but in the end I only spent just over $1300 with S&H.

Being this is my first AR and my first gun ina long time i also bough tons of accessories such as

Midway Competition Range baf
Midway 46" tactical rifle case
2x Walker adut ear muffs
1x walker youth ear muffs
1,000 rds of wolf ammo
.50 cal ammo can
as well as all the tools necessary to build my rifle

Throughout this process I also decided to buy the fiancee a EAA SAR B6P Lady, Purple & Stainless, 9M as well as 500rds of 9mm ammo.

Lets just say I wont be building another for a while or at least until i pay all this off.

Again as long as the barrel comes tomorrow Ill post pics of my progress. Still waiting on PSA to send the forward assist roll pin and the Red Dot.

As a side note PSA shipping is horrible. I understand they are busy but I bought from 11 different vendors all just as big as PSA and PSA is the only company that has not yet shipped my product.
