So you want to buy an AR-15 - FAQs

A stripped lower is neither a rifle or pistol, it's listed as "other" on the 4473, which means he has to be 21 to purchase (because it has the potential of being a legal "pistol").
At 18 he can buy a rifle lower (complete lower with stock).

 

Hmmmm.... sneaky sneaky ATF
I wasn't aware this, good stuff to know for the younger guys/gals

 

Yeah I live in California so every year they do small meaningless changes similar to that. Like this year there trying to outlaw the bullet button. And also trying to add the mini 14 type rifles to the assault weapons list.

 

Grey area is there ally and is up to there interpretation like the sig brace was.

 

Bought Anderson lowers today.
Now I'm waiting for my upper and build kit.

 

Sweet deal what kind of lower parts kit are you going to use?

 

I bought psa lower part kit, a2 stock, a2 pistol grip. And 20inch barrel complete upper. Total cost of build will be about $600.

^^^^ cool "binary" trigger called the "echo" trigger, check out the site and youtube

^^^^even more badass stock and combines the bolt carrier group and buffer in 1 for a more collapsed stock

I already ordered a Fostech Echo Trigger for my next rifle but it doesn't ship until May

 

Got all my parts in and assembled it. Also got 500 rounds of ammo for .34 per round shipped to my door.

 

Now that is a sweet rifle, good job.

 

good looking rifle!

 

Could anyone point me towards a complete Ar-15 thats in the $500-$700 range? Im pretty new to guns, but I just got a Remington 870 which is fun but Id like a little more range to shoot shit. Thanks.

 

S&W make some great guns, this is the basic AR-15, at the low end of your budget so you can buy magazines and ammo, and after you get used to iron sights you could upgrade to an optic.

I would go with the Smith and Wesson Mp15 sport or the Ruger Ar556. Both are entry level ar15 and cost around $600.

Time for the mods haha

 

Woot. First AR.

 

This is probably the best video ive seen for assembly.

 

I think my build is going to resemble this to a T, I'll post pics next week when it's all together. My main goal was shaving weight, any idea how much yours weighs?
