I want to buy one too before oct 14. but I was looking for the whole thing. but $200 for only the lower is alot cheaper then 1500!. what do you get with the stripped lower for $200? and what would I need to compleate it besides a full upper? just a stock and handgrip? or more? I've never owned a black rifle.
I bought my glock durring last election
is Armalite good stuff? whould it not be cheaper to buy a compleate one then peice it together?
from what i gather, the lower is just a hunk of metal, and u buy everything else. i just pm'd chevnek with this:
hey man,
im in the exact same boat as u, heard the rumours, freaked out and picked myself up a lower from wolverine as an insurance policy. gave it a week, and i caved and bought everythign to build myself an m4. im new to ar-15s (shoot c7 and c8 in the military) and own a cx4 storm, so this is a learning process for me too
i went through tacshot.ca for the barrel, receiver, stock, grip, bolt, and lower parts kit.
i went to questar for the quad rail handguards, mags (10rders), case, eotech 512
and went to armseast for the other parts...charging handle, delta ring assembly, trigger, hammer, disconnector, and whatever else wasnt included in the lower parts kit.
got the tacshot stuff on friday (2days shipping at $20!) and its all good lookin stuff. should get the questar stuff on monday, wolverine shipped the lower mid last week which should be here soon, and ill overnight the armseast shipment on monday...hope to have her at the range by friday!
the guys ive dealt with so far have been great, and the prices are extremely reasonable (tacshot had NO TAXES!) and ar-15.com has a forum on assembly and theres some nuts in the area that have all the tools to assemble it.
let me know how u make out...im psyched to see this thing completed!
go conservatives!
cheers,
chris
while it may appear to be a lot cheaper, it adds up really quick. all told im sitting at about 2 grand for everything (albeit the eotech was 500). i think whether u buy a complete ar or build your ar, itll be about the same price (minus optics)...however your build will be all customized to your specs, whereas ull buy a complete ar, and then invest in handguards, sights, stocks and stuff to customize it...thats the way its shaping up for me anyways
