MONTANA308 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Putting my lower together at the moment. I got a armalite lower parts kit but the front pivot pin seems weird to me. it doesn't lock up on the detent when ya push it in. Is there a different pin to go with it or not a big deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 You know MONTANT308, people that have been shooting quality rifles (not just ARs) for a long time, say that your glass should cost 50% of what the rifle cost.Others who shoot quality rifles (on the taxpayer dollar) believe that glass should cost at least as much as the rifle. <laughs>Hope I could be of help. <thumbsup>Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONTANA308 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Ya going to have 6 Gs in this gun by the time I get it the way I want it!

MONTANA308 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Any you guys familiar with Anderson Manu? May have a chance at a 223 AR from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJL Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Ya Gulity I'm going to have 3,400 bucks in this thing and I haven't even looked at glass yet :o let alone the grand I wanna blow on a suppressorI'd like to see the breakdown on that, because I'm not sure I could spend that much on parts if I wanted to :D Unless you bought 20 magpul magazines at $75 each as part of it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A receiver set, a high quality barrel, a real nice trigger, aftermarket safety levers and mag releases + LPK, buffer tube, springs and buffer, bolt and BCG, free float handguard, gas system, BUIS and Optics, and muzzle device. Go price the least expensive of all these items that are a component of any typical build and come back with your total.You will find that even the least expensive components add up so very quickly, this is compounded by the prices you will pay for the higher quality components that you can confidently stake your life on.

Just my build isn't coming out nearly that high, but I'm also not going high end on stock or handguard, and got good low $ deals on a few of the parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some components though, you want to buy as new as you possibly can and those add up quick. I went the all-new component route on my Mega MA-TEN and after I got my suppressor and all that on it, it comes up forward of the $4k mark, BUT there is nothing else out there just like it that I have seen, and it shoots like you just wouldn't believe.

MONTANA308 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Ya it adds up fast my total was with the whole gun being creakoted in all FDE, wich is an extra 375 . But ya money just adds up and up :) SURE IS FUN THOUGH <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerman Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Ya, building out is always going to be more expensive, you just get what you want. And right now, even more expensive. I didn't want a Springfield M1 because I thought they were too expensive... I have twice that now with accessories, and some mags. And not a lot of high end stuff... just a Giessele SSA and Fulton Match barrel... but the BCG cost me nearly $600.And ya, I still need glass. And no, I'm not spending $1500. No.... really. A Nikon 308 is the limit, or a similar Vortex.I do love the heavy beast though. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pro2ndamend Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hi All, I just joined the forum. Bought an SI-Defense billet matched .308 upper & lower and want to complete my build-out. I wanted to get recommendations from the community for the rest of the build-out parts list. I'm going to work with my local shop (Gun Exchange in San Jose, CA), but want to have some points of reference first. Really appreciate the input. Thanks!
