BigP623 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share 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.

shibiwan Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigP623 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share 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 Share Posted April 13, 2014 So, you're saying that your friend was right... YOU couldn't make a rifle for $600. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigP623 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
