Nothing wrong with that. I’m going to finish 4 or 5 then save the rest. Finished one up last night and got another lower built. https://i.imgur.com/mftUbtD.jpg

I need to acquire some building tools and then I’ll put my 16” Aero Rifle.....yes.....rifle together. (Perks of the career choice I gues) My 11.5 or so pistol will be later in the summer. Then a 9mm in a 14.5” (maybe) after that. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So you can build a rifle any time you want but don’t have the tools yet? Mostly kidding. It’d be nice if the special class applied to Veterans. The SBA3 is expensive compared to a CTR. But I am saving some money on SBRing more of my rifles I guess. My pistol will get the SBA3. I don’t feel like waiting on the tax stamp for the SBR at this point. The stripped lowers opened the door for people in my field. Chapter 943 Sec. 53-202a states I need a letter from my Commissioner (not gonna happen). 53-202b states I can possess. I don’t need the permission slip now with the other transfered lowers. |

How much are you spending building out a stripped 556 pistol lower?
I know the sky is the limit. But individually what are you doing? |

I have done 2 complete Aeros for 850 5.56 and just under 1k for a 308. Both shoot great. Threw some leftover red dots on them.

Depends who you ask. Some people lose their shit if they don't see a VFG. But according to the letter of the law...CT only defines a pistol by barrel length and a rifle by the presence of a stock.

Got the 12.5 5.56 mostly together. It functions, but still needs an fde sba3, sling and radian sd charging handle. The other is my 12.5 6.5 grendel that the gun store put together right before we were allowed to buy lowers again

Thx. I just picked one up after doing a lot of research. The only two complaints I've heard were eye box and reticle size.
Most people crying about the reticle were bent because they couldn't get precision shots at 8x but the NX8 is not really designed for that. It's not a "sniper" optic. |

Anderson lower from TGS was $65 and $150 for a SBA3 Magpul parts kit from PSA. I'm visiting family in SC and went down to one of their stores and picked it up. So I got $215 into my poverty build.

I’ve got the SBA3 and 4. Not noticing much difference in rigidity. The 4 has a larger footprint and may be a bit more comfortable because of it.
The ODG of the SBA4 and the Magpul MOE + in ODG match very nicely. Also I really like the Aero M4E1 lower. The threaded pins and integral trigger guard make assembly effortless. My least favorite parts of assembly (trigger guard and bolt catch roll pins and the rear takedown pivot pin detent spring getting crunched by the end plate) completely simplified with those 3 modifications. |

Wow. I’m just finding this out for the first time...about being able to buy lowers again. Awesome.
I thought I remember someone saying that others could not be assembled by individuals....was that BS? If so I need some lowers!!! |

You can get stripped or complete AR15, AR10, 9mm lowers now. It’s up to you to build it into a compliant gun (other, fixed mag, rim fire)
Most of the lowers out there are Aero, Anderson, Spikes, BCM but there are more options |
