Cheaper to assemble vs buy ?

How did you buy from Brownells ?

Just wondering how to purchase from Brownells in Canada ?

It really depends on what parts you use. If you look around, it really is not that expensive.

Stripped lower=$160 (Blueline)
LPK=$70 (Brownells)
6 Position stock with assembly=$89 (Questar)
Total lower cost=$319

Upper receiver (includes port door and forward assist)=$200 (Questar-takes time, but Spike's and DPMS are available)
S&J 11.5"/14.5"/16.5" barrel=$215 (SFRC)
Gas Block (Doublestar railed gas block)=$30 (Brownells)
Handguard retainer=$10 (Brownells)
Gas tube=$20 (Brownells-includes roll pin)
Barrel Nut, Delta Ring and Spring=$30 (Brownells)
Handguards=$40 (Brownells)
Bolt Carrier Group=$200 (LMT S/A or F/A - Questar)
Charging Handle=$20 (Brownells)
Magpul Back Up sights=$98 (Brownells)
Total upper cost=$863

Grand total=$1182

Add $30 for a PMag, and you are good to go.
 
the manufacturer as to be a registered exporter with the US department of state (most are, so dont get too worried). and then orders of "gun parts" cant be totalled over $100.

ex, you can order as much as you want, so long as the order doesnt cost more than $100. If it does, just break up the orders. Ive submitted 5+ orders at the same time, with no issues.
 
You never save money by building .. But its worth the experience to learn how the systems work... At the end of the day you will be happy. Custom does not equal cheap.
 
Almost finished just waiting for parts to arrive and assemble . I'll post pics after it's assembled it came in just under 2 k with tax and shipping

After sourcing more parts , most people were right you could build a decent AR for around 1100 bucks, I bought a few parts for my next build already . So I guess I got the AR building bug . I think I will build a new lower for this upper with a ATRS lower than build a 22lr upper for the blue line lower .
