My first AR build is underway!!
Having nothing better to do today, I thought I should take a drive down from the city to see the folks at Irvington Arms that you guys speak so highly of. I emailed Frank on Friday afternoon to ask what lowers they had in stock. He promptly emailed me back with his stock list and beginning prices.
I arrived in the late afternoon on Saturday and they were understandably very busy. But, with so much cool stuff to look at, who cares about waiting 20 minutes to talk to someone??!! Once greeted, I said I was interested in building my first AR and was pleased to be welcomed with such enthusiasm and kindness.
After looking at their lowers (Stag, CMMG, Spikes, Sabre and Fulton?), I decided on the CMMG...mostly because of the overall finish....and the research I've done here. $204 dollars later, I can't wait to go back next Monday and pick up my very first part!
I'm very happy with my Irvington Arms experience and look forward to dealing with them in the future. I have absolutely no problem driving an hour+ if I get to deal with great people like them. Furthermore, they seem to stock just about everything I need for my build at very competitive prices.
I'm so damn excited!!! And, I prefer to support my (not so) local shops.
Anyway, thank you all for your knowledge and help. It means a great deal to a first-time AR builder!!!
