I gave it a shot and built it myself.
The lower is from a local gun shop. CMMG lower parts kit, generic 6 position stock. Upper is a Palmetto State blemished. Without magazines I am in it for just under $450. Still got a few things to pick up but I'm pleased and I learned a lot.

Make sure to give us a range report!

Great job! They love to eat lots of ammo - so keep it well fed. :shooter:

Nice!
I started out with a DPMS Sportical and am slowly converting it to custom built.
Only the upper is still DPMS.
Finished 80% lower with a Bushmaster LPK and MagPul MOE stock and buffer.
I have a stripped upper with forward assist and dust cover to finish assembling.

I am hoping to have an AR build as one of my next projects. My first and current AR is a Del-Ton Sport that I have upgraded.

it wasn't near as hard as I anticipated...honestly, the hardest part was researching what all the stuff does TOEGTHER to make a good rifle. Oh, and waiting on stuff to go on sale or searching for good prices to keep stuff within my budget.

Nice looking AR! Hope it shoots as good as it looks! What BCG did you use?

 

[AOCM.RET]

Great Job indeed! I built my first one back in the late 1970's and still have it; they do like to eat as was said.

 

[MOONDAWG]

For $450 I'd say you did an outstanding JOB!

It is an ATI M16 bolt I got from Stugots (Senior Member)

Congrats on the build, have you shot it yet? Looking forward to reports.

 

[Jamal]

nah - been extremely cold around here and we don't have an indoor long gun range local

Congrats! I built my first last year. I had the same experience you did. Learning how to assemble it was fast. Figuring out what combination of parts I wanted and finding them at a good price took awhile. I couldn't be happier with the result.
