figure i might as well join and post since ive been getting most of my homework done from yall
name is pat from south texas. not born and raised but i got here as soon as i can
never owned an ar before but i decided to build one vs buying one
goal is to keep it cheaper than buying a stock ar from the store
so far estimated total will be a bit over 600 bucks
everything was done by trade or bought locally

some info on the build
aero lower
aero upper
stoner barrel
yhm gas block with front sight
magpul furniture

Looks good Pat, $600 is a good price for a build including Magpul furniture.

That stoner barrel didn't come with a barrel nut? Hope you have the tools to remove & reinstall the front sight base / gas block in order to put the barrel nut on there.

Good Luck & welcome to the site (as well as the disease...)

Looks like a clamp on so it's probably not too difficult..... :)

Have you checked Palmetto State Armory and Aim Surplus for sales on parts?

i didnt want to but i ended up getting the delta ring, dust cover and charging handle from psa, it was on sale for 25 bucks
and a handguard cap from them also

sadly i didnt see the 10-15 day processing time before i placed the order

im really trying to resist ordering a bcg online
i have a lower parts kit on pending trade
and a charging handle
then its time to put the lego pieces together

well here she is
im quite happy with it
total finish price was around 660 dollars
i chose to keep getting parts locally
all i need now is optic or an mbus on the rear
also nicknaming it the "chris kyle day" rifle since it finished on the 2nd of february

also i have another lower on order
either a 16" left handed one for my better half
or making it into a pistol
