Wilson, but only on rep, I've handled neither one. They are a ton of $$$ for a fancy AR.

Agree, build one.
It's not a complicated effort.

I will say though, parts are scarce so if you see one available you want I wouldn’t say “Don’t grab it”.....

What Todd said. Personally, I'd start with an 80% lower and work from there.

Parts are a bit scarce as Jamie points out, but can be found and something decent built nonetheless. But will agree if you find one available you like, pull the trigger... so to speak.

I realize that just about everything gun related is presently scarce.

Alright guys, what would be a WAG on the investment for a decent, middle of the road build?

Don’t go cheap on the BCG, upper or barrel and the rest buy to your preference.

Aero makes a very good lower for a very fair price.
Faxon barrels can be had on sale.
BCG you want to see what material it’s made from and the finish.


13.7” barrel plus welded and pinned comp/FS should get you past 16” negating the need for pistol or SBR stamp.

$500 - 700, depending on sales and if you are willing to assemble the lower.

Or an assembled Ruger: $869

I did mention to one of the cubs this afternoon that the Ruger might be the way to go if one could be found.

That’s great Jonsie but you can’t find parts right now because everyone is afraid of more crazy demoncrats

Looking at the Ruger closely, but have already come up with a list of add on's near $500 excluding optics.

Consider the LaRue MBT trigger, I've tried many drop in and enhanced triggers, including three that cost more than twice the LaRue MBT trigger.

They also make a really good drip, though I like the Luth Chubby grip better,

You probbly already know to build an AR pistol you need s lower receiver sold as "Other" or "Pistol" but NOT a rifle and the receiver was never previously assembled into a rifle.

I always get stripped lowers marked as "other" that way there is no need to worry about going from a pistol to rifle and back.

I decided on the Ruger 556 and picked it up yesterday. Even with 20 and 12 percent MIL discounts with Wilson and Daniel"s, just more than I wanted to spend at this point in my life. If I like the Ruger well enough I may try a build in the not to distant future.
