Building my AR

[hurley1718]

Well I probably waited until the wrong time, but I am building my first AR. I recently bought a Stag stripped lower from gun broker, and placed my order with RRA for their complete rifle kit. I am waiting on the paper work to clear to get my lower ( I live in MD...Boo), but that is in. The complete kit is from last I heard a 20-30 week wait. So until I get everything else I just have a stripped lower. I will post pics when I actually have it in my hands, which is about ten days.

Good luck ... the wait sucks! Keep us updated

If I might offer a suggestion....F*** RRA.

Their wait is absurd. If you check some of the online sites daily, you can find just about everything you need a LOT faster than 6 months.

I dunno about other shops, but we have like 5 or 6 AR's in stock.....

Yea, you can build AR's all day long on ar15.com and have one by the weekend. You'll pay a premium, but you'll have it.

Hurley,
Here's where I got mine last year.

I have no idea if they have any in stock, or can get you a RRA kit any faster, but it can't hurt to ask.

Welcome to the dark side.

Thanks everyone. I placed the order, but I had hopes of finding the parts cheaper, this was just in case anything happen. Emptymag thanks for that website.

I had to dig this thread from the grave, but I will be finishing my ar build this week. I changed from the RRA complete kit to a del-ton kit. I failed to realize the credit I used to order the kit expired and I finally changed the card number last week with del-ton. This kit shipped today so it will be in at the end of the week.

The build will include:
Stag lower chambered for 5.56
Del-Ton 16" rifle kit flat top upper chambered for 5.56
Magpul flip-up buis


I am at school right now, but I moved back to PA because I got married in October so pictures of the lower and the rest of the kit will have to wait until at least friday.

What was the total time from placing the order with Del-Ton to the time it shipped?

[hurley1718]

Well because of my screw up with the credit card it took 11 months. But I should have had it in august, but then I had to pay for some other things so it was put on the back burner. I fixed the credit card last Tuesday and I got the shipping confirmation email this morning.

I fixed the credit card last Tuesday and I got the shipping confirmation email this morning.

That's not bad. I hope that's the case for my order. I just ordered a rifle kit from them this weekend, so 1-2 weeks is good.

I made sure to use a valid CC too
