Budget SPR build

[masterdekoy]

I'm working on a budget SPR build for a friend and am considering the following parts. Wondered if anyone else had any suggestions.

Aero upper
Faxon 18" with rifle gas
AIM surplus phosphate BCG, 9130 bolt
Faxon 13" slimline rail
A2 flash hider
milspec charging handle

delton lower (already have)
standard lower parts kit (may upgrade to PSA polished parts kit)
milspec stock

all,of this I can have for right around $600. Anyone have any suggestions of things to include/avoid?

Im leaving glass to him.

If you're going for a SPR build, then I would get a much better trigger for it. I highly suggest a Geissele trigger. I have 2xG2S and 1xSSA-E. I've owned a Timney and still own a LMT 2-stage as well. Geissele are tough to beat but as always YMMV.

I toyed with the idea. The issue with this build is I'm on a tight budget and the trigger puts me over budget. I also have a ssa-e in my ar and love it.

I would save then until you can afford the better trigger. It's worth it if you are going to shoot it. You'll have lots of cash in an optic anyhow.

I'd suggest getting the PSA polished lower parts kit and drop the trigger assembly in your current AR. (I just picked one up their enhanced lpks last week for $80).

Swap the Geissele SSA-E into the new SPR. Problem solved.

I'll be the odd man out and say go ahead and build it. I built one very similar recently and am very happy with it. Can always upgrade triggers when the cash is available later.

This is a build for a friend. If I was building one for myself, I have a parts list laid out. However, he wants to stick with a certain budget. Also, it's his first AR.

Larue MBT-2S triggers are $125 if you agree to wait for about 6 weeks to get one. VERY nice alternative to a Geissele, and a lot cheaper since your buddy is on a budget.

Run the stock trigger until he saves enough for one.

For the barrel, you could also look into a Mega (but Faxon barrels seem to be doing pretty well). They're good barrels. Aim has them in stock for $210 if you use the secret coupon code (pm me if you don't have it, no I'm not affiliated in any way).

That parts list look fine for a budget SPR build. I'll echo others about the trigger. Build it now and save more dead presidents for a better trigger down the road
