BigP623 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Well after getting my blemished palmetto upper a few months back Ive decided to start a budget, truck gun field gun build. I stopped by the local gun show today and got a pretty good deal on a palmetto lower and no name lower parts kit with buffer tube, buffer, spring and castle nut, all for 120 plus tax. So basically now Im at around 180 total into my build and have basically the whole back of the gun minus the stock and BCG. What parts would you guys recommend for a budget build of this sort. I would like to have a free float barrel, full length rifle when finished with iron sights. Im shooting for around 600 finished as a friend of mine seems to think it isn't possible for some reason with the free float hand guard for under 800ish. As I've said I have the whole rear end jus need: Rear stock BCG free float handguard barrel and nut gas tube and gas block set of sights Am i missing anything? BTW this is an AR15 Edited February 23, 2014 by BigP623
unforgiven Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 I am a fan of MagPul but I did get a Rodgers Super Stock and like it.PSA has BCG's,Primary arms had Troy brave battlerail that I got was nice and easy to install.For $65.00 the ACT trigger is nice also.MagPul BUS of course.
Toolndie7 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 could pair this with a lower and be pretty cheap
unforgiven Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 ^^^^ PSA has had some killer deals lately.
Toolndie7 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 ^^^^ PSA has had some killer deals lately. Didnt they have a deal recently with a complete rifle W/ an aimpiont for like 500$ ?
unforgiven Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 Yea,I have bought and will continue to buy thier products.Great CS also.
shibiwan Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 I got in on the $74.99 PSA bolt carrier special but haven't received it yet... :( Gonna have to check with them.
392heminut Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 Shibi, they are kind of slow on their shipping these days but you will get it. I got a complete LPK (with MOE grip and buttstock and buffer tube assy.) for $99 a while back and it took a month for them to ship it! I think they sometimes oversell their sales stuff and have to wait until more comes in to fill the orders.
BigP623 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Posted April 13, 2014 Well my build budget just got blown. I was looking around on the PSA easter uppers sale and made the move on one. I was trying to stay around 600 but i now have 850 into it but I must say I can't wait to see the finished product. This is the upper I bought what y'all think: http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ar-15-05/easter-sale/barreled-upper-assemblies/psa-18-chf-heavy-ssk-15-with-nickel-boron-bcg-charging-handle-and-psa-iron-sights.html Personally I love it and it took a bit of persuasion to convince the wife but now all i need is a new stock to replace the mil spec carbine adjustable and I'm set.
Robocop1051 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Posted April 13, 2014 So, you're saying that your friend was right... YOU couldn't make a rifle for $600. Lol
BigP623 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Posted April 13, 2014 Yeah I couldn't pass up the deal for 250 off. Thats what ultimately got my wife to say yes as well was the sale. She's a sucker for a sale also lol.
unforgiven Posted April 13, 2014 Report Posted April 13, 2014 That is a very nice upper brother <thumbsup> ,PSA has great products.I have a couple of their uppers.
shibiwan Posted April 14, 2014 Report Posted April 14, 2014 Could I interest you in a Magpul ACS stock? :D I got a spare one lying around
sketch Posted April 14, 2014 Report Posted April 14, 2014 I ordered the same upper in ss no bcg/chandle $350 3 weeks ago hoping to see it soon :)my buddy has a similar model it's a good setup you'll like it!!
BigP623 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Posted April 14, 2014 PM me shibi right now I have the plain run of the mill carbine stock and I've been looking around at other options.
Magwa Posted April 15, 2014 Report Posted April 15, 2014 psa you have to watch the sales it is possible to build really good rifles for right at 500.00 buy a stripped lower on one of their sales 70.00 then wait and watch for a sale on rifle kits comes with complete upper with BCG and charging handle and lower parts and stock 399. to 499... and it is good stuff..
BigP623 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) yeah a friend of mines been sitting on a stripped psa lower he got at a gunshow for 80 months back and got in on the $579 rifle kit they are offering right now. Stainless barrel and midwest 12" free float rail. Pretty dam good rifle for under 700 if you ask me. Edited April 15, 2014 by BigP623
