[94FormulaBird]

pretty simple actually

PSA stripped lower - $132 after tax
PSA/Magpul MOE ACS-L Lower build kit - $221 after tax/shipping

$353 invested...now to save up a lil more and buy a PSA upper for $320 in store...then BCG and charging handle...DIY FTW

[ForceFed4g63]

Very nice. I'm doing something similar with mine.

Stripped PSA lower - $80
Stag Arms complete upper - $500

All I need now is the PSA lower build kit for $130 and I'll be done. Just waiting for it to get back in stock! $710 all in is pretty good I think.

[94FormulaBird]

ya...im thinking im just gonna get a complete upper with 16in 1:7 chromelined barrel...maybe later a lowprofile gas block and free float rail...once i start reloading im gonna build either a .308 or sbr ar15 in 6.8

[Matts94Z28]

I have $60 in my psa stripped lower from a friend and got their basic lpk for $40 on black friday. I just need to put it together. I still need a stock and upper as well. What upper does psa have for $320?

[94FormulaBird]

16" chromeline barrel 1:7 twist...no bolt carrier group or charging handle...my buddy picked up two of them two weeks ago for him and his dad...the same ones they had listed online for $390

[94FormulaBird]

Just finished this one yesterday. Started life as that $799 carbine PSA had. Duracoated myself. All magpul furniture and a no name quad rail I two toned. Think it turned out nice.

About how much does a used piston-drive system cost?

two stage for $120...just txted my buddy... i got a little confused...its not specifically the BEST trigger but a damn good one for the price

[ForceFed4g63]

Meh, that brings the total to $210, I'll just hold out for PSA's kit for $130. Hopefully it will be back in stock soon.

I don't mind the trigger pull of the Psa trigger...then again I've never felt a nice trigger...

[ForceFed4g63]

Out of stock again dammit. I checked this afternoon too.

[94FormulaBird]

Pm me your number...I check several times a day..I can hit you up if stuff comes in

[98Camarod]

I'm not savvy on the ar's, so what is a "parts" list that you need to build one? I find it pretty stupid that you can build one third of the price and all you have to do is put it together.

[ForceFed4g63]

The lower receiver is the only part you need to buy through a dealer. Everything else you can get shipped directly to you. It's a pretty short list:

Lower receiver, complete upper, trigger kit, and stock and buffer tube. You'll want someone to assemble the lower for you though.

[Matts94Z28]

Man up and assemble the lower yourself.

[ForceFed4g63]

Pfft. Not me, too many things can go wrong.

[94FormulaBird]

This was my first build...taped up the receiver so it didnt get scratched...then used tape wrapped vice grips to slowly drive the rolls pins into place...a child could assemble an ar15 lower...takes patience...and a little reading of thread to figure out what to watch for and what to do...

[98Camarod]

So you can put an entire ar15 together for less than 1k, yet they cost over 2k for a comparable one?

If that's the case, why aren't people buying the stuff and selling them complete for 1500 and make some money?

Parts availability?

[PapaBear]

Pfft. Not me, too many things can go wrong.

It's so damn easy....

[94FormulaBird]

Man I'd hate to text him this late...force if you see this they are I stock as of midnight

Curious about the tag.....

Who the hell needs a dremel tool to assemble a lower?

[Coppertop8705]

Just got done assembling my first attempt at a lower, was surprised how easy it was and how few tools i needed. Now the long wait trying to find a bolt carrier assembly.

[CoppertopT/A]

Bump, finished with my first one. Hopefully all goes well with the test fire.

[PapaBear]

Nice lookin rifle man, good job.

[94FormulaBird]

picked up an ambi charging handle and full auto bcg for $150, and blemished stripped upper for $60...

now for a barrel...gas system..free float tube...and sights and itll be ready to shoot

[Bradleyrj]

Ordered 2 stripped lowers from PSA Tuesday. Picked up my lower build kit yesterday and a buffer tube assembly today for one of the rifles. Looking at building one as a 300 blackout with a carbine length barrel, rifle quadrail and short flash suppessor.

I love that 300 blackout cartridge. One day I may have one.

I do have about 120 ea .30cal 208gr Hornady A-max bullets up for grabs if you are looking to load some sub-sonic rounds for your future 300 blackout. I tried various loadings in my .308 bolt action with the 208s, but it doesn't love these near as much as it does the 178gr A-max. I had only picked up these 208gr ones to try out at the time because no one had 178gr in stock at the time I needed some bullets.

Absolutely nothin wrong with the IMI mags...bit the best looking thing out there but a functioning mag none the less...also if you want to paint/stencil/stimple they are cheap project mags

[94FormulaBird]

Keep an eye on Psa during 15 days of Xmas sale...prolly have some mags come up

[PapaBear]

All of PSA deals get killed online for us really. The tax and shipping eats up the discounts. Can't wait for a store to be here.

Anyone on here go for a Short Barrel Rifle?

I'm about to start the whole process of attempting to get my registered.

Have a 300 Blackout 8.5" barrel that I'm wanting to run.

Anyone have any advice/comments?

[PapaBear]

I've just always wondered WHY?

I like the look but can't find the reasoning to justify it.

[tkklemann]

I've just always wondered WHY?

I like the look but can't find the reasoning to justify it.

Really look into the 300 Blackout round and you'll find all your answers there.

Cliff Notes: The 300 round doesn't gain anything at all over a barrel longer than *roughly* 10".

One more note: I'm setting up my rifle for the 300 blackout round, 8.5" barrel with a suppressor, and its just as quiet as a suppressed MP5 with a ton more potent round in it instead of the 9mm.

Once again, if you read up a little on the potential(s) of the 300 round, you'll start to see exactly why its becoming the "new thing"...

[PapaBear]

I'm very familiar with the round.

I'm speaking of the SBR fad. For a suppressor host, sure, but even then, other than looks and "cool" factor, it doesn't make sense to me to spend the $.

[ForceFed4g63]

Why would you need a suppressor other than to say, "I have a suppressor?"

[PapaBear]

Why would you need a suppressor other than to say, "I have a suppressor?"

That's where I'm going with this whole thing.

To spend $200 on a stamp for a SBR, what's really the point? The only thing I can see is to host a suppressor without making it a 20"+ rifle.

Which brings us to the suppressor debate.....why own one? Sure it's "fun" and "cool" and all, but is it really worth the $600+ for the suppressor and another $200 for the stamp?

In my opinion, I cannot see the reasoning. I'll spend that extra $ on more guns and ammo.

The fact that I already have irreversible hearing loss, and have had my hearing monitored since 1985, plus my love for shooting it all makes sense for me to pursue it. Anyone who knows me will tell you I can't hear $hit already...

And for the cool factor, absolutely not. Once again, anyone who knows me will tell you I do my own thing, and simply don't care what others think, so no, I'm not doing it for any "cool factor".

My 8.5" barrel with an SDN-6 will bring me to a 14.5" total barrel length. That's why I want to pursue it.

Anyhow, you can buy yourself more guns and what not, last time I was at the range I was only capable of firing at max two at a time as I only have two hands, just like you. I already have enough guns anyways.

Back on topic, anyone gone this route on here?

Sorry you lost your hearing, a suppressor will certainly help. My hearing is monitored every 6 months as well, and for that reason I have been using good quality in-ear and good over the ear muffs at the same time with great success for the past 4 years.

Last time I went to the range I took 14 guns, and enjoyed shooting every one of them. It's not about how many hands i have, it's how much I enjoy them. Can one ever have "enough" guns? What is enough really?

And, no, I don't think you'll find anyone on this forum with an SBR, probably not even someone with a suppressor (legal, anyway).

:bigthumb:

[Bradleyrj]

I have the paperwork to fill out to build a SBR... just havent had the gumption or funds to pursue it yet. Last I heard it was a 15 month wait for approval.

[blubyu87gt]

Not a huge fan of SBRs for rifles but for a PDW I absolutely love this.

http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac33/blubyu87gt/SBR.jpg (http://s883.photobucket.com/user/blubyu87gt/media/SBR.jpg.html)

Picked up, legally, from a member from a firearm forum after moving to Utah. Works great for throwing in a bag and going on a hike.

[tkklemann]

Stop making sense dammit!

Because I can't shoot my rifle as effectively as not wearing ear muffs and only wearing ear plugs. Believe me, I have spent oodles of money on just items to help me minimize my hearing loss in regards to shooting. I have tried, I have about 5 styles of ear muffs, custom ear plugs etc etc.. I simply don't shoot as well as when I have just simple foam ear plugs. And simple foam ear plugs aren't as effective as the other options I have.

Either way, I didn't come here to try and "justify" the likes of myself, and am not doing this for any sort of "fad" as I don't but hang out with maybe one or two others on this board. Honestly, I could care less what anyone on here that has responded thinks because I'm 99% sure I wont be shooting with you anyways. (Only because I don't know you, no other reasons implied.) Not trying to come off as a dick or anything, its just the preconceived notions you may think I am doing this aren't the reasons why I want to go this route. I mainly only shoot with two or three other people..

Anyhow, by Papabear, Birdman and ForcedFed4g63, I have a 28" old TV that's sitting in my dining room, still works and all. Maybe by your guys logic you would be willing to trade me your bigger TV's because I can't "justify" having a 50"+ TV when you can see everything you need to on my 28" tube TV.

So when can we meet and trade TV's? :bigthumb:

Please get back on topic and stop it with the "justification" part, its a mute point. We all have fast cars in our garages that aren't "justified" when a Civic will get us to where we want to go just fine. We do what we want to because WE want to, and this is no different than making our cars fast when they don't have to be. *I* want to do this, so stop knocking me because *I* want to do something even though it may not be your cup of tea, so what.

Anyhow, I filled out all my paperwork, the ATF Form 1. I am going to attempt to go and see Harvey Becker (Goose Creek Chief of Police) and see if he would be willing to sign off on my form. If not, my next option is going to be the Berkeley County Sheriff's office. God forbid if that doesn't work, according to Form 1, I can have Scarlet Wilson (Solicitor) sign off on mine, and I doubt that's going to work.

Bradleyrj - whats your plan for the signoff, or have you even got that far yet?

Last time I went to the range I took 14 guns, and enjoyed shooting every one of them. It's not about how many hands i have, it's how much I enjoy them. Can one ever have "enough" guns? What is enough really?



Believe me, I have enough already to the point I am having trouble finding places to put them all. My comment before about too many was kind of said in jest. :mrgreen:

Where have my posts gone?

And if it's because you WANT to, why not say that from the get go?

And back on topic? Have you read this thread? The topic had SHIT to do with an SBR until you arrived.

They're still there.

As for the other guy, you can do whatever the hell you want, I just have a hard time wrapping my head around the reasoning. I have hearing issues too but I just wear the foam plugs and they work for me just fine.

[PapaBear]

Now I see them. They weren't there when I made that post. Oh well.

[BIRDMAN]

Anyhow, by Papabear, Birdman and ForcedFed4g63, I have a 28" old TV that's sitting in my dining room, still works and all. Maybe by your guys logic you would be willing to trade me your bigger TV's because I can't "justify" having a 50"+ TV when you can see everything you need to on my 28" tube TV.

Wtf? Your analogy made no sense at all.

All I/we were saying is that it makes sense to spend much less money and do the more common thing, which is use ear protection instead of wasting money on silencers or going through the whole long process of attaining one legally. And it doesn't make sense to me that you can't shoot as well with earpro, but whatever.

Do what you want, no one is judging you or trying to give you a hard time.

Well it worked..... :finger:

Back on topic of SBR's please.

[tkklemann]

The topic had SHIT to do with an SBR until you arrived.

Uhh, because I have assembled my entire AR? Kinda seems like this thread is about building an AR?

And you weren't the only one wondering what was going on with the thread... haha I saw stuff disappearing and reappearing... Magic!

[GreebeanZ28]

[Matts94Z28]

Nothing to see here.

We were all just discussing how if you want to impress your friends you build a suppressed SBR. :hide:

[94FormulaBird]

I'd love a suppressed sbr in .300/6.8...to impress myself mostly...maybe some friends...

[BIRDMAN]

thread drift over....

[PapaBear]

That's the link I used...the vice grip trick was nice...apparently the front pivot pin detent is a pita...I got it no problem...good luck and post a pic when ur done

Assembled another today, and learned a great trick. He bought some Battle Arms enhanced takedown and pivot pins, and the kit came with a very small round magnet. Placed the magnet 180* out of the detent side of the pin, and the magnet will hold the detent onto the pin. Use the pin to push the detent in and push the pin in.

Literally installed the front spring/detent/pin in about 20 seconds......with no tools and no cussing.

Just assembled 2 more lowers for the build kits I bought last month...also got all the parts to finish my rifle...just need to torque it all down

Left is a PTAC upper with blackhawk grip and stock on psa lower
Middle is a PSA Freedom upper with psa lower and parts
Right is built for me:
PSA upper, lower, 16in light profile 1/7 twist barrel, lantac dragon brake, PSA full auto bcg, ambi charging handle, parallax tactical 15in free float rail, magpul mbus pros, magpul moe grip, magpul acs-l stock,

[PapaBear]

I like the look of that forend....how do you like the MBUS PRO over standard?

[94FormulaBird]

i like them....very positive adjustments...they snap up and down with light effort...even the dual aperture on the rear sight snaps up and down effortlessly...i picked these up paired with the 500rd brick of cci .22lr from psa a few weeks ago and used the 20% discount...so i was happy with what i paid for them...there is a guy in ladson selling a pair on the facebook group: sc guns n stuff for 120...worth it in my opinion

[94FormulaBird]

Well got it all torqued down and test fired tonight....only took 20 months to complete:fial:

[PapaBear]

That's a great looking rifle!

[94FormulaBird]

thanks...i could build it today with same parts for about $200 less but that's supply and demand...but its everything I wanted...100% built from loose parts....next on the list is a sbr/pistol or a 20in .308

[1SMKN99]

I want to build a pistol with the sig brace next, sbr without the tax stamp and wait
