Built my first AR

As the title says I built my first AR recently. I used a PSA Afghanistan edition lower and PSA lower parts kit. Also added some magpul furniture. The upper was built by Morgan aka Dallasshootingsupplies on the THF using a White Oak Armament barrel, custom made muzzle device, and 10 inch Midwest industries quad rail. I threw a Nikon P223 on top for now but may go in another direction later on. Still got a couple things to do but its ready to shoot. Plan on adding a CMC trigger and a Bravo company Gunfighter charging handle.

Love it!

nice ride

To build your own high quality gun, what's it run $ wise in comparison to buying the whole package from a good manufacturer?

Nice build.

I built this for under 900 dollars. Just over 1K with optic. Probably saved a few hundred by building it rather than buying it plus I get the satisfaction of knowing I helped build it.

Good job!!!

I've always thought about doing my own but have no clue where to start. Wish there was some place to see the tiers of parts/suppliers, places to buy, instructions, etc.

Google and YouTube taught me a lot.

The Youtubes is where I learned how to build them.

If you can out together a Lego set, you can build a rifle.

I've had many, but the only ones I have kept are the ones I built myself.

Putting together a lower is more "assembly" than "building". First one takes maybe an hour, after that 30 min or less. As others have said, look to youtube for instructions. You can buy a good quality upper for less than $400 from palmetto state armory. All in you'd be around $600, maybe less. Of course you can spend much, much more as well if you are interested.

Nice job.

Congrats on your first build.

Outstanding build my friend.

Man I dig that Sapper

That needs a few Whiskey Dents in it!

looks good amigo now go pop some hogs with it

Getting ready to go try it out.

You'll save even more if you build the upper yourself too.

Sweet

Looks good! I can't recommend CMC Triggers enough. I have one in my first build I did and I have a Rock River Arms National Match 2 stage in my second that I would like to replace with another CMC Flat blade trigger. Just don't catch the bug of building more rifles, it can get expensive.

Good deal. Looks great

You're really going to like that WOA barrel. Mine in 6.8 shoots 1/4 moa with factory ammo.

Shot about 90 rounds through it today and once I got it sighted in it was dead on at 100 yds using a crappy bipod. Prob hit a 1 inch circle 10-15 times with my last 20 rounds.

M203 and your Fully operational

Sounds like a shooter Sapper

I've built 3 lowers, 1 .22 upper, and have all the parts gathered and waiting on cerakote to do a complete 300blackout pistol build.

Youtube is where I got the info on the first lower. I file and polish the trigger and hammer breaking points, and take a little pressure of the springs to make the trigger crisper and lighter.

Looks good

looks great man.

Man that's really nice

Nice Job Sapper.

Nice build.

Still got a couple things to do. CMC trigger and I ordered a m223 scope mount bc the one that I have is too low. Shot 100 rds through her last weekend and had zero issues.

When you get back from Cali we're gonna' put that lil' puppy to work on some hogs....Suuuuuuweeeeeee!

absolutely maybe a coyote or two as well.

I shot one the other evening. Mangey as heck. Pregnant female too. That's the grand prize.

sweet.

Very nice AR.
