Which AR15 to buy

[Paul]

I have Bushmaster A2 carbine and love it but if I had to do over I would have bought a flat top.
We are building my wife an AR from Rock River components when ever the reciever gets here.

What components are you using?

What components are you using?

My wifes gun is being tailored to fit her. M16A1 buttstock.RRA lower with Match Armorers Shop trigger job. RRA 16 ich EOP Varmint upper with the barrel turned from the gas block to the muzzle to balance the gun. Not sure what optics yet but money permitting Leupold in lapped Badger rings.

I have a nice Colt for sale that is crazy accurate.

It would be nice to get a group together and build some guns

I think I have all the needed tools. I wouldnt come to build one cause I am at 4 and done, but willing to give input and tips.


Think Don has something in the works to build one or 2 more soon.

parts needed to build ar?

Looking at all the parts & pcs available and different types of ar's has gotten me confused.What parts are needed to build an ar. I was looking at del-tons website. They have a kit minus stripped lower receiver for $465 Stripped lower receiver is $110. Is this all thats needed?

That is all you need to make the AR-15

What kit are you looking at?

You could also piece together a kit with better parts for a little more than the kit.

I dont have any knowledge when it comes to the ar. I would welcome any suggestions on which model/kits or parts are good.I like to go the cheapest route and still have a reliable rifle.

A kit would be fine but you can get better parts if you piece it together

If i was going to do it again, i would get a different upper and lower

I would would go with a Mega or RRA upper and lower. Do a RRA lower parts kit. I got the LMT M16 bolt& carrier and i would keep that on another build. The charging handle you want. Then whatever barrel you want. I would just go with chrome lined barrel.

A good price for uppers and lowers are...and a charge handle:
Coleman Tyler - Best prices on AR15 rifles, AR15 parts, Ar15 magazines, AR15 accessories, AR-15, AR15, hunting rifles

Bolt and Carrier
LMT Bolt Carrier Auto M16

The rest is up to whatever kind of AR you want to build

Hope this helps

I would LOVE to do this. I plan on building another AR with the Stimulus check that's coming out... Keeping American money in America and supporting my 2nd Amendment rights. So, yes... Let's do this!!

 

[bigcraig]

If any of you folks need any help or tools just ask, I have built a few AR's.(to say the least)

I am sure between Don, White_Wolf and myself, we can help with whatever you folks need, including stepping into the CIII world.

I know this is a lot later reply, but Windham makes an excellent AR-15. Of course they are pretty new.

 

[jonny4523]

Wow, a thread brought back to life after 5-1/2 years? Is that a record?

 

[Bigdee06]

Possibly. I was amused when the guy mentioned a stimulus check. I had forgotten all about those.

 

[Osprey]

Indeed! When I saw the word STIMULUS, I thought the government was back in business again and decided to give checks to everyone for the "inconvenience"...then I saw the posted year...
Also, I thought I read somewhere that Wyndham were ex-employees from Bushmasters.
