Time to build an AR or keep waiting?

[spartakis252]

Which one?
Flat or curved?

I wasn't going to look for the best price without knowing which one.

AR15 Diamond PVD Coated(black) Flat, $279.99 seems to be the going price

LOL! I got bored and started looking for the curved.
$279 was the standard with a few $299.

I looked using the Item Number listed on the Midwest page
Sometimes you get different results than using a product's name.

yesterday PSA had complete blem uppers for 299 and lowers for 179
My brother was asking about a carbine for a friend, I told him get one of each of those

What is so special about this trigger that it costs that much?

I'm no stranger to "expensive" triggers, but i think I've topped out around 200$.

To be honest, I don*t know. There is a lot of very fine machining and polishing. I*m not even sure if it*s worth it for an AR yet.

What is steering me towards it is the Triggertech(I think Primary model) I put on my Remington 700. I have it set to 2.5 lbs and I*ve checked it multiple times with a Lyman gauge over the span of a year, there*s maybe an ounce of deviation. Absolutely no take up or over travel, just a nice clean break. It*s a trigger you have to feel to understand.

Unfortunately, that was a 16" barrel. I want to build a 20" barrel AR this time

Just ordered the B5 Bravo SOPMOD stock from primary Arms & the CMMG fire control group from BKF. It has begun!

As I’ve said for a while, just be mindful that as parts come back in, there could be a higher level of QA/QC issues due to supply shortages and companies scrambling to restock shelves before their competitor. Even higher tier companies might have something slip through more often that normal right now.

If you buy from a reputable source, you’ll be able to hold them accountable for a replacement part (should it be out of spec) and they’ll most certainly replace it. Fly by night companies or ones that tend to have a bad rep already should just be avoided to begin with.


As for spare parts, extra are great. Especially when you get good prices. Just be careful... it can get... excessive?

Spend money wiser than I did.

Any super deals on CMMG LPK? Be nice to have a spare of those

& now I'm wondering if I should go 18" or 20" barrel
