Be gentle with me, my first AR build,,,,,,,,,so a bit more tacticool thingies than I usually do, but still with a budget in mind. I am not looking to build a 1200.00 rifle to short steel with, since my M&P Sport kills steel perfectly now. But my grand daughter just learned to shoot and has her eyes on my Sport.

Have yet to start thinking upper. Which I will want to build, even thought I can buy an assembled one for about the same.

 

umm, yes???

 

80% Arms billet lower.

 

Well tomorrow the kids will open up their 80% lowers, 5d jig, router, and all the bits, end mill, etc.

Kinda excited to give this a shot.

 

Merry Christmas to my sister.
She wants to build it with an 11.5” barrel and pistol brace.

 

Would like to hear your feedback after having it a bit, have on my list 9mm AR pistol for 2018 and that one tops my buy list.

 

Well, I have shot them 4 times already (not this one) but rentals and a buddy who has one,take down and ease of cleaning is excellent it is a blow back operated so it will get dirty. Basically no tools required to do so. I personally didn't think the gains of a 9mm carbine was worth it but I was wrong. There is some performance gains over a handgun but not much. I looked at several Wilson Combat,Nordic Components,PSA and Colt all had there own pros and cons. The reason I settled with Sig in the ease of barrel swap is super easy and I will be going SBR/Suppressed soon.... Down side is mags are like $50 bucks each.

 

There is something satisfying about building your own. After the few that I've built so far, I can knock them out pretty quick. Last one was timed at 1:15 start to finish and assembled. It's not really cost-effective when you think about it, since stripped lowers can be had for $50-60 on sale (even less if you look for them), but holding something you built yourself is always fun.

 

You can't sell 80% lowers you completed yourself (unless you're a licensed firearms manufacturer). You can't even will them to your next of kin. They're yours until death. Kinda crazy, but if you decide to mention them in your will, you have to specify that you are passing on the lower parts kit, upper receiver and any and all accessories attached to the lower. Otherwise the whole thing has to be "destroyed" upon your demise.

 

Thanks bud! It’s official. All members watching this thread are witnesses.
