Recently I've been looking at the nea pdw I was wondering if that's a good ar 15 to get into for a pdw I've never owned a ar 15 before and I really like the pdw idea I would be able to build one from parts but I wouldn't know the cost and what parts to use. I see theres a couple other companies that make pdws im just trying to gather some ideas. Im not looking to spend 3000 bucks but im looking for fun and reliability. Any help on this would be great cause im a total noob with ar 15s.
Pdw Build Or Buy??

Pass on that one. Grab one of these: http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/foru...99-USD-7-quot-PSA-5-56-Keymod-Complete-Uppers and maybe even a complete lower like this: http://www.irunguns.com/product.spikes-complete-lower-m4-stock-color-1. Much better overall AR...

Thanks that's sick bookmarked
Im just wondering what will be more cost effective? Also if im doing a build what companies make good parts I don't know the quality of any brands when it comes to ar 15 platform. Im not going to pretend I know anything cause I don't lol. Like I said im going for a functional build with cost in mind. But I want something that I will be happy with and not turn around and sell because its a nightmare.
Always go with buying a complete rifle shoot it for at least a couple of times so you know what you like or don't like, before you start changing thing.
Putting an AR together with aftermarket parts might seem like a good idea because you will end up with a rifle exactly the way you want, however unless you know how all the different parts feels you will ended up swapping out parts until you get it right, if you think swapping out standard AR parts is expansive just wait until you start swapping out aftermarket parts. Just take a look on the Equipment Exchange section there are lot of stuff on there that people put it on their rifle than take it right off without ever firing a round or you see very expansive custom rifles with less than a box of ammo down the barrel for sale.

Sorry to piggy back OP, but does anyone know if this upper will run reliably on any lower? Would I have to change the buffer or recoil spring? I've been wanting PDW for a while and this is a good price but I just want a drop-in solution.

You will find that most AR PDW's are not cheap and dealers don't normally bring them in as regular inventory, with the exception of NEA, but there are a lot of mixed feelings about NEA's quality control. keep a close eye on the Equipment Exchange for PDW's or at least 7" uppers they do pop up on a regular basis, something about the novelty of it wears out rather quickly.
