Fire1141, are you out there? Did you get yours built yet? How did it turn out?Fire1141 wrote:Not sure a beater rifle is what I want to build. I'm willing to dump some money on good parts to make an excellent rifle. The reason for my post was to find out what good parts to use.i want to build as opposed to buy of the shelf, so I know how it works in and out, plus I think it would be fun to build it exactly as want it

Re: ready to build first ar
Going through the forum looking for threads getting information to build my first AR and found this thread. I've been thinking about buying a complete rifle and came across a nice looking RRA, but last night started thinking about building my own. I think price wise this will work out well since I can buy what I need when I can afford it. I might end up with a better rifle for less money doing it this way since everyone says it is cheaper to build your own.RECIT wrote:I have a complete LaRue rifle and it is the cats meow for sure. But that thing is heavy and not any fun to do anything but bench or deer stand shooting. Carrying it more than across the field is not fun, sling or not. Mine is a 20" stealth upper, billet lower, PRS stock and 13 or inches of rail space, with a Trijicon Accupoint on top. I'm sure it weighs every bit of 15lbs.
If I'm shooting standing I would much rather have a lite weight 16" carbine. I like the Troy TRX free float system, and a magpul UBR(=heavy) or CTR(=lite) stock and a decent battle trigger, a high quality iron sight set is a must(no plastic magpul sights for me). A two stage is not a necessity for me personally unless its on a bench gun it is nice.
This beast sounds more like the cats roar than meow.
