Default $399 AR rifle kit w/ FREE shipping

Everything you need minus the lower for $399 and FREE shipping.

Some on my local forum say that CBC is GTG. I'm seriously thinking of buying this. The only draw back is that it has a KeyMod rail and I'd rather have the MLOK. But for $399, WTH, right?

Seems/sounds like a decent deal ....
Would you assemble yourself or have them do it for the $50 charge?
You figure, the stripped lower can be had for in the $50 and up range, plus what your favorite gun shop charges for using their FFL.

Not a bad deal of you build it with those parts. For me, I see too many items I would change. Doesn't make it a good deal after that.


Edit: The barrel seems decent...personally I don't care for the carbine gas system, I prefer the midlength

Need to fix that "$4399 AR rifle kit" title banana boy. That price will scare most people off! I wasn't even going to click on it, but curiosity got the best of me.

I have enough built ARs to keep me busy but if I had an extra $399 laying around I would buy it if only to keep it on hand in case of a price increase. I don't really see ARs getting cheaper than $450 in the future.

My grandfather bought his AR for around $400 around 10 years or so ago but that was a Bushmaster and those are running $600-$800 now. So even a cheap AR will go up no matter the political climate.

Fixed! $399 it is.
Da

Now, I got a complete lower from PSA for $139, and a complete midlength upper for $169, free delivery on both. $10 NIC check. MLOK furniture. No mags, no sights, but it's a PSA for $318 delivered. Shoots well, no jams... no complaints. Watch the sales with this company as well as PSA. These will be worth having if Clinton gets elected. Probably double in value overnight.

Wow padre that must have been Devine intervention, I have never seen an upper that cheap with a BCG and charging handle. I got my 10.5" standard upper for $179 without BCG and CH and have not seen the same upper below $249 since then. Awesome deal!
