WTB Budget AR 15

[Killadocg23]

I know this is a long shot but am looking for a "cheap AR 15". 350 is my budget thanks . I am located in South texas but can meet in San.or Houston.

I don't think it is a long shot given where AR prices are at the moment. New complete budget AR's can be had for as low as $429 + FFL fees https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/pro ... F5.56+NATO or possibly less if you shop around, so $350 for a used one isn't too much of a stretch. If you have some basic tools and are mechanically inclined you could also build one using PSA parts http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-16-m ... e-kit.html and an Anderson stripped lower for $370 + tax.

I have a few that I might be willing to sell / trade but I would have a hard time parting with any of them at today's market prices. I'll probably wait until all the excess inventory works its way out of the system. Or until I stumble across that new "must have" gun that I just can't wait to buy .

$350 may be tough. CDNN has a DelTon for $399 currently.

You could buy this, and find a cheap Poly lower to get near that $350 mark. But you're building it.

ETA: Looks like I posted the same thing SoccerDad did (link to PSA). Great minds!

If you watch Palmetto State and Primary Arms, you can probably put together a basic AR for close to that, although you would need to add on for sights.

[SQLGeek]

Agreed. PSA and Primary Arms are always having specials. Primary Arms was selling Anderson lowers for $29.99 a few weeks ago. PSA usually has a rifle kit or two on sale.

Ceratac has a carbine kit (less lower) for $299 ($323 assembled) plus free shipping. Comes with a keymod handguard and collapsible stock.

Depending on what lower you can find and how much assembly you're comfortable with you could have a budget AR near your budget with a couple of little upgrades.

If the price differential isn't huge and you don't love working on guns, I would encourage you to get one that is fully assembled. I have assembled close to 10 lowers, and I am not super handy, so it can be done. But on the first couple, there were several times that I was cursing myself for taking on the endeavor as a small spring launched across the room.

hahaha...this still happens to me every now and then. I'll go up to the gunsmiths counter and I just hear "Need another rear takedown spring sir?"

Thank you gentle men !

A tea towel, or similar, is your friend But I know that feeling well. Every so often I go on a hunt in my shop for some missing piece that left a firearm at escape velocity. Took me 4 months to find an extractor spring pin once.
