Build vs buy complete?

DIY

always

 

I've had both a component system and one standard. each had have +/- but both were are crap ton of fun to shoot. Super accurate + no kick = lots of on target rounds!

 

Thanks for Gun Deals link. Another source in addition to Buds.

 

Are you expecting an invasion?? Is it the Russian question?? Or is it North Korea??

 

That thing is pretty schweet, nice price too

 

That will work. Now, don't be cheap on the scope. Check out Vortex scopes (good bang for your buck).

 

I had Roy Stuart make me one on his 3D printer. Can't wait to see how it works.

 

Build your own lower and buy a prebuilt upper, preferably one that comes with a BCG, and that has been headspaced. Chrome lined, cold hammer forged (CHF) barrels are tits. AeroPrecision makes very good uppers and barrels, pre-assembled and they have good sales. Uppers take specialized tools like an armorer's wrench and go/no go gauges. A lower can be put together with set of channel locks and a screwdriver and you'll most likely end up upgrading parts on the lower anyway. Mill your own lower or buy an Anderson stripped lower for 50$, a cheap lower parts kit for 20$, a decent trigger for 99$ (LaRue or Geissele), a raptor (radian or axts, whatever they are calling themselves these days) ambi charging handle, and if you ride goofy get an ambi safety selector too. Carbine (14-16" barrel) or rifle (18-20") length buffer tube kit is about 50$. Pistol length buffer kits cost more. Kinda like lady's lingerie. Pay a lot for less material, go figure.
You'll end up with an excellent rifle with sub MOA accuracy for about $600 that would have cost you over $1000 to buy.

Watch out though, things are fun to build. Whatever you do, dont build a .308.

Unless you hate money that is.

 

For the triple vented, 60 round banana clip, which won't fit, unless you file off the tab.

 

Bwaaahaaahaha
