Back in the AR game!

[Miketodd]

Well I knew I wanted to build another AR, but I had to do it on a budget. I sold mine during the panic due to financial reasons. I thought I wanted to try a bolt gun but it just didn't bring me the joy that an AR does.
So after waiting, and saving, and more waiting for deals. Mine is finally finished (with the exceptions of sights).
Here are the parts:
Lower: Anderson Arms (Custom engraved Biohazard done by a friend)
LPK: Anderson MilSpec
Stock and Buffer Tube: PSA PTAC
Upper: Aero Precision M4 Flattop
BCG: Unknown Chromlined Bolt Carrier with Colt Bolt
Barrel: JBO 16" Chromelined 1/7 with birdcage muzzlebreak
Handguards: Magpul MOE Midlength
Gas System: Midlength with Core 15 railed Gas Block.
So far I am happy with it. I am undecided if I am going to do MBUS, a red dot, or a scope. I have a Vortex Crossfire II (BDC) 2-7X32 that might be fun to try.
Final price out the door so far..... $540!!!!!
Here's the pic!

Thanks All,
Here is a pic of it with the Vortex, it sits a little low but is pointing well. I might have to contact Vette about some med rings.

wow, good build for the price!
I sold my last AR prior to the panic to build up a hunting rifle, but now I want an AR in the safe as well

Both have their place

- Nice build, I went with Andersen for my stripped upper and lower parts of the build.

what was the cost of your stripped upper? where did you buy?

 

[Miketodd]

I bought the barrel along with the upper. It is a Joe Bob Outfitters and their prices are decent. Check them out.
Anderson has their Stripped Uppers on a daily deal today for $49.99.
