I am going to be picking up my lower next week when my pay check lands. When trying to decided if I should get a lower and mags or save for a gun, I was reminded of the resources I have hear. I guess I am looking to put together a poverty build. My budget is very slim, however I do not want to miss this opportunity to express my freedom. Was the salesman correct? Will you all help me peice together a poverty build? Please!

you can put together a DTI build for about 600 -650 .... a3 build w. collapsible stock...


www.del-ton.com

You could order all the parts  (seperately) and it will be a little cheaper then getting  their already built rifles... Just  a tip though if you are going to get a separate upper from barrel you will need a barrel wrench and a 1/2" torque wrench that can do 30+ foot pounds... I'm pretty sure though that you can find someone here to let you use their wrenches if you have beer

And yes it will be a little daunting to build it yourself but that's what we are here for we can help you put it together =]


On another note... I build this AR in the last two weeks...

It's a DTI Upper kit and a DTI lower w. a Ergo Grip. and yes I also painted in the letters

My cheapest rifle build was just about $400.

Spend your time looking for used parts. Get the rifle working, then as you get a little extra spending cash start upgrading to better quality components.

Ugly truck gun is about $350 or so, most of the $$ is in the lower. Still doesn't function properly though.

Whats wrong with it?





I am advising late comers to buy lowers and ammo.

Osama may take a different route from past bans, but if Biden is any map to the future, parts will be available. Lowers make the rifle, ammo is going up, up & away, and is the weak link. NO ammo= shitty club.

The GrumpyM4 shop 'o horrors is open for business and i'm real close.

Stop on by some day and i'll get the thing on the workbench and we'll see what we can do for your rifle.

well, I have nothing right now except the stripped lower and some mags. I have been using all of my OT pay to get parts, however the new job only started about a month ago. So with the recent events I have had to put some other things I wanted aside for later.
