First Ar-15 build

Recommended Posts

Ok so im starting my first ever build. Wow, the options out their are over whelming to me. I am set on what i want to build, a 18 inch hbar with a fast light trigger. I know what trigger i want and the stock is picked out. But as far as the barrel, upper, lower parts kit, an buffer set up im still looking. Going with a samson evo hand gaurd in 15 inch size. I have a spikes honey badger lower with a magpul miad grip, and trigger guard so far. Looking at a ares 18 inch stainless hbar, or a rra 18 inch stainless hbar. To many options lol.

I just finished a 20" hbar build last month, aside from a bipod, that is. I spent months researching what I wanted vs what was affordable vs best bang for buck. The amount of shit to sift through is staggering, but once you figure out what you want the rifle to do, it gets easier to narrow down.

I cheaped the LPK with a standard CMMG kit, but a light trigger spring kit and some ruby stonework on the sear helped smooth it out nicely, little over 4 pound pull. Eventually it may get a Timney drop in, but just to get it cycling and sighted, the cheap kit works well enough for now.

I went rifle length gas system, heavy buffer (H2), standard spring.

I bought a set of receivers last winter. then they sat. This winter i will finish the build. I have Mag tactical FDE recievers, Daniel Defense LPK, V7 weapon systems Tube, spring and standard buffer,end plate, and castle nut. and a Custom Ar spiral fluted socom barrel in .223 wylde. WIll be getting the fortis REV 12 rail, and Mission First Tactical Minimalist stock. I now have to decide on Gas block and BCG

Just ordered my first lower and lower parts kit to start a pistol build.  Pretty stoked about all of this, never done anything even close before.  Going super budget minded but still want quality stuff so doing some research and a lot of shopping for discount codes, ebay, etc.

Man Sportsmanguide has a 10.5 300blkout for 90 right now for members, considering just doing the 300 like i planned on next build, or doing both at the same time.  That would mean I need 2 more lowers, can't not have a spare sitting around.

 

But I hate the idea of spending that kinda cash on all new ammo too....  Decisions.

Well, everything except optic/flip ups is ordered for the AR pistol.  Im a moron and just can't sit around and do it slowly.  However, I will be doing a 300 build next, and already saw Vance's has the Anderson lowers for 45 this month....  That's cheap and no FFL so probably grabbing a few for future builds.

Good deal mine is gonna be a slow build. It will end up costing me near $2500 when finished with optics. One peice at a time here.

Yeah, that kinda cost would be a realll slow build here lol.  Like years for sure.  Can't wait for updates!

Im going to order some small parts for the lower when i get a chance. Daniels defense gun builder lpk, an a magpul/noveske ambi selector switch. I gotta save up for the trigger its gonna run me almost $300 shipped. The stock i am going with is gonna take a bit of saving also. The buffer spring an buffer will be bought before the stock.
