    For $4700, I would look into getting dual tubes instead of just the mono.

    I wouldn't touch that stuff, personally. You can get an affordable, quality build together if you look in the right places. A "blemished" BCM upper receiver is only $60. Rosco, Ballistic Advantage, and Faxon barrels are in the $150 range. Couple that with a SOLGW bolt carrier group and you're off to a damn good start.

    I can't imagine a set of dual tubes are going to be of decent quality for that price (unless I've been looking in the wrong places?) It seems even on the low end, they're upwards of $6-7k and most are in the $8-12k range

    I didn't mean that you could get a good pair of dual tubes for $4700 (if you can let me know cause I'd be all about that) but that if you were looking at spending that much already, why not wait and for $2300 more get a solid dual pair that you will like WAY more than a mono.

    Sounds akin to the slippery slope of my truck build haha. But yeah, I'd probably like it more. It's hard to say without handling them in person. I've tried doing some research but all I could really find was that there's benefits to each and it comes down to purpose and personal preference.

    Hey guys I need your help,
    I’m trying to get a lower parts kit from BCM
    I’ve talk to cheaper than dirt and BCM
    And stated that they can not ship to CA due to restrictions. Where can I get this kit if I even can?

    Major price gouging when bans were being talked about, 30 round Pmags were at least $80 a piece, and used USGI mags were listed at $99.99.

    Anyone have any recommendations for a 1st time ar build? From what I gather the parts to not skimp on are the barrel, trigger, and bgc.

    I'm Leo and we have lwrc m6's at work. I'm looking for a quality rifle that won't break the bank. Mostly using it for range training.

    I've mostly been looking at brownells and psa. Any other websites to pay attention to when sourcing parts?

    Finally got to shoot my 6.5 Grendel AR. Shoots well, I still need to zero it and shoot something reactive like ice or a watermelon. Very fun though, no jams after I realized that you can't slowly close the bolt with steel case. Just gotta drop it shut.
