AR building for a cheap ass

[bohound]

Couldn't beat it for a chrome-lined upper that I didn't have to wait 3 months for.

Not to mention made with FN's proprietary formula steel, and cold hammer forged...It meets or exceeds milspec in almost every respect- for a fraction of the price of the "big" names' comparitively inferior products.

I seriously am 100% sold on PSA. Pure win.

Surplus Ammo & Arms lower $90 plus shipping/ffl fees

I dont know what you mean by "classic M16" style. Do you mean the M16 that was used in Vietnam with the triangular heat shields, or the A2 look with carry handle sight?

If you want an A2, the cheapest thing to do is buy a Del-Ton kit, Surplus Amm/Arms lower, and a carry handle/sight. Slap it all together and you have an AR at around $650

I buy the SA&A lowers from AIM they are $30 cheaper. They are currently sold out but, if you check often they come back in stock frequently.

I used this kit for my first AR, I am very happy with it. My only complaint is the trigger (it is not horrible but I would prefer an upgrade) I will change that at some point.
