Revision as of 03:47, 13 February 2016

I was randomly browsing through reddit one day and came across a DIY build for an AR15. The guy had built a really nice AR15 from the ground up. I've always owned guns, but honestly never had much desire to buy an AR15. To me, they always seemed overhyped and I just assumed people were just buying them to spite Obama. Little did I know, however, they are beautifully engineered and their modularity, reliability, and reasonable price make them one of the best rifles on the market. I still have no desire to buy a stock AR, but the idea of creating my own from parts is really appealing. I'll use this page to document the build over the next few months as I slowly start acquiring parts and putting it together.

Research

In this section, I'll document some builds that I like and start putting together my wish list for parts.

Kaky - Budget

Very basic budget AR - probably wouldn't want to go much cheaper

The cost was around $560 sans magazines and sights. here is the shopping list:
PSA 16" Mid-length 5.56 NATO 1/7 11" SQR Free Float Upper - No BCG or CH - 7780257 ($270)
PSA 5.56 Premium HPT/MPI Full Auto Bolt Carrier Group - No Logo - 39339 ($80)
Palmetto State Amory Charging Handle with Tactical Release Latch ($30)
PSA AR-15 Complete Lower - Magpul CTR Edition - Black, No Magazine - 49177($170)
I bought some Gen2 Magpul mags from my local Cabellas for around $11 each, and found gen1 Magpul flip up sights on ebay for $20 new. so total it was under $600

Construction Guides

Suppliers

Core Parts

  • Lockestone - Beautiful, but very expensive 80% Lowers. They also sell a reasonably priced, reusable jig that is supposed to work with any milspec lower
  • Tactical Machining - Inexpensive and popular 80% lowers
  • Palmetto State Armory - these guys seem to be a very popular supplier with a decent price/quality ratio

Optix

Hybrid Sight III - Recommended by David Gallager

Furniture

General AR15

Barrel Length - 16, 18, or 20" - 18" sounds like a good all around pick
