Agreed.. Get these items now while they are cheap and available. In fact, get two or three.

I bought a good one first (Colt 6920) so I'd know what mil spec correct is when in came time to build. Assembling the lower is pretty straight forward ... especially if you do it with an experienced friend (thanks, Charlie). I bought a complete BCM upper for that lower - their stuff is freakin fantastic!

Yeah lowers can be built pretty quickly, the upper, specifically attaching the barrel to the receiver is the hardest part. Glad I was able to help you Matt!

My least expensive AR consists of:

Palmetto State Armory Forged Upper Receiver, 16" Chrome Lined A2 Barrel with FSB & A2 FH, PSA BCG, PSA Lower Receiver, A2 Handguards, BCM receiver extension, BCM Grip, BCM Carry Handle, Magpul ACS Stock, and a PSA LPK.


I've got about $750 in this one. Had I went with PSA receiver extension, a more basic stock and grip, and Magpul MBUS (or PSA Carry Handle), bought when they're on sale, I likely could have assembled it for close to $600.

Looks like I can buy a complete DPMS Orical for around $500. 00 . Can't build one for that .

The DPMS "Sportical " I sold was a nice rifle with the upgrades I had done .

I can add upgrades as I go along . I have scopes that would work and some other stuff I can add .

Just need to save up some shekels,moolaw . Wife not willing to dig into savings .
