[ARCHIVED THREAD] - made a noob mistake.... but now i want to build an ar

Posted: 10/18/2004 12:05:35 PM EDT

well i learned the lesson of chrome lined barrels.... can i get a part list from scratch that would build me a great AR... basically i need a list of good parts and maybe some pics of others that have completed their build. All comments excepted along with flames.... I admit i am a noob but i have a dream to build my M4 and would love all the help you can give. I think i want a mega lower so that is not going to be much of a debate. Also i would like an estimated price list per part please or total cost of the idea you submit to me. Thanks agian!

that is a sweet rifle.... i do not plan on all the hardware that you have at the moment just the rifle.... thus being said... mine will probally just have detactable carry handle.

As for the crome line barrel story... i got a steel case stuck (cheap wolf ammo) in my olypic plinker.
so i learned to shoot only good usa brass... but i still need to get the wodden dowel out of the barrel

Personally, I get the complete LPK, THEN order my RRA 2stage. This will give you a spare FCG for emergency repairs.... and if you shop around, $54 for LPK, plus $77 for RRA 2stage = $131.

16" Cromelined EM-4 barrel from JT Dist. $149.95
Phantom FH $34.95

Buy you phantom (and any other parts you need) from EAGLEFIREARMS and save yourself a lot of dough.

M4 Colapsible 6 pos. stock $79.95

$69.00 at EAGLEFIREARMS.

MEGA stripped lower $89.00
4 rail gas block $49.00 (buy now use later)
Bushy complete bolt and carrier ass. $129.95

Get the RRA enhanced bolt carrier assy for $95 from eagle and save some cash.

Bushy Charging handel ass. $24.95

$16 at eagle. All the same.

DPMS A3 Carry ahndle w/ A2 sight $89.99
A4 Flat top upper with laser etched T's $99.99

$88 at eagle. Laser T's on request.

Gas rail $12.00

I assume this means gas tube? $8.50 at eagle.

Can ya tell I really like those guys?
