Any hot deals on ar parts?

[HighFructoseCornSyrp]

It seems like every site I visit most ar uppers are out of stock, maybe 15-20% in stock at the best places.

I have come across this site

http://www.slickguns.com/search/apac...rch/uppercombo

And I like the price point, just not the options.

I like the bull barrel, but would prefer 20 inch.

I'd also like picatinny fore end (for a bipod/fore grip)

Hoping to get something with at least a front sight and hopefully a rear.

I could piece the parts together, but I'd imagine I would save a few bucks if I find a package.

Anyone know of a site selling something like these uppers but with a few extras on to?

Should I just buy the 365 dollar bull barrel, pick up the picatinny fore end for 40 and sights for 40?

I think for what you're looking for you're probably better off assembling it yourself if you can. 3 or 4 months ago there were a lot better deals on AR uppers, but I guess we're too close to the election now.

yep, assemble it yourself...

little more in part. but putting them together is half the fun.

only deal I know of is BCM blemished uppers

I used one of these on my 5.45 build, it had a very small scratch where optics had bee attached. pretty much perfect otherwise.

So for that last one, I would need a bcg, barrel, handguard, and gas tube, correct?

Edit: and a gas block?

Don't forget the charging handle...

sometimes you can get the barrel with the gasblock installed and pinned.

Don't forget the charging handle...

and bolt carrier group. they don't run very well without that (and its one of the places you don't want to skimp)

you should also get a few basic tools. I have a kit from brownells that has most of the tools needed for a complete assembly, only things it didn't come with was a freefloat handgard wrench and basic punches (that I already had)

building them isn't cheaper, in that you can get one running for less, its cheaper in you get what you want the first time and don't have stuff it came with you'll never use that will sit in a box till it gets given away or tossed.

thing is, you WILL want to change stuff, and you'll end up getting the tools and different parts later.

also some may or may not have options you want or don't want, a forward assist for instance, or a receiver without a dust cover..

are you wanting to build more for accuracy (you mentioned a bull barrel) if so you way want a gasblock without a fixed front sight (the fixed sight will cause blur in the scope) and may want a folding sight.

Don't forget your military discount. If you don't have a military discount get a friend with one to order it for you.

How does that discount work? I made an account, answered the relevant questions, and... nothing.

I guess not everything is discounted? Prices were the same on the product description pages, in the cart and right before I hit the submit button.

I don't know how cheap you're willing to go, but Palmetto State Armory has some crazy deals on AR parts. They aren't necessarily build-quality, like DD, BCM, or LWRC, but they work. And if you're just a plinker and not overusing the rifle, this may be the place to go for you.

For example: M4 URG 16" Chrome-Lined Barrel without a charging handle and BCG for $279

Or a blemished PSA (Palmetto State Armory) Stripped Lower Receiver for $59.99

Call up the customer service if it's not working. Do you not see a discount no matter what you try and buy (cleaning supplies, cases, gun parts, etc)?

That's how it looks. I guess calling sounds like a good idea.

I'm slowly piecing together the bits for my piston AR build. Spare no expense...

[SpclAgentD]

If that's the case, you have plenty of good quality stuff out there, depending on what you're looking for. Just be glad you're not piecing one together in California. It sucks...

PWS lower is the only thing I have so far...

Plan:

LMT parts kit - probably from G&R Tactical
Geissele SSA trigger - G&R
KAC trigger guard - Operation Parts
MagPul ACS-L or STR stock - Amazon
BCM Mod 1 pistol grip - BCM
MagPul BAD lever and RSA - Amazon
POF anti-tilt buffer tube - not sure
Heavy Buffers H3 anti-tilt buffer - Heavybuffers.com
Adams Arms 14.5" piston upper - probably Ranier Arms
VLTOR VC-1 compensator - not sure
KAC BUIS - Operation Parts

Eventually: Gemtech HALO and some sort of red dot or holo

I think that covers it... Hope that doesn't derail the thread.
