I see no reason to use AR Stoner pars on anything but a bare bones budget build.

Here's what I've purchased so far:


1) Andersen Mfg. Stripped lower;


which came with:


a) Geissele Automatics G2S Two Stage AR-15 Trigger group
b) Expo Arms AR-15 Upper Receiver Parts Kit (Not really needed, see below);
c) Geissele Automatics Ultra Duty Checkered Takedown Pin Set


2) Radical Firearms Forged Stripped AR-15 Lower Receiver (saving for another day);


3) Andersen Mfg. "assembled" Upper Receiver (including CH, FA, DC and BCG);




So I'll need everything else, including:


1) Barrel (and support parts like Barrel nut, flash suppressor, etc. etc.);
2) Gas system (line and block);
3) Rear Stock tube, spring, etc.

4) Lower Receiver Kit (minus trigger group, or I'll save it for the other lower);
5) Furniture (I want MAGPUL MOE furtniture).


And anything else, you can think of.


I haven't yet begun to work on the tools, yet either. I'm looking for Vice blocks, but I also need to find a vice Grip I can anchor to a large block of plywood, as I don't have a table on which I an anchor a vice grip. I think I saw some of those where you could screw it into a large block of wood (in my case, particle board) and it would work just as well.

Maybe you could tell me where you're looking, because where I'm looking, almost everything is out of stock. And the things that aren't are way overpriced.


It's a huge balancing act. And, sadly, it depends on the election. If Pres. Trump wins, I suspect the prices will go way down and supplies will replenish ASAP. If he loses, God knows what will happen to pricing. So, do I buy stuff now, or do I wait until after the election? I figured I'd buy the lowers now, as I gather they'd go after those first. Then, I'll work on my pistols and then my shotguns. Perhaps, I'll get my $500.00 1911 now, and maybe a Shield for backup EDC, now (I still have my P320... which I'll get "upgraded"). If Trump is re-elected, I'd wait on the other stuff, as, hopefully, prices will go down. But we'll see. Hope so!
