I'm looking for used or cheap parts for an AR-15 build

[jdex851]

Hey guys,

I am posting here so I don't bog down the private party sales part of the forum. I'm slowly building an AR-15. right now I'm looking for a used or really cheap upper receiver and barrel.

I'd even greatly appreciate any advice on where to go from here... where to look.. where to post.. etc...

So far I have a lower receiver and the bullet button.

Thanks!

Wait a year or so and prices will come down.

1 know what you want
2 know what you are looking at
3 constantly be on the hunt. The best deals go fast.
Check here regularly (commerical deals and used) and maybe the EE on AR15.com

well right now is a pretty decent time to buy seeing as how inventory in most shops is leveling out. The lower will be the important thing but since you already have one i'd be patient and wait for the really good deals to pop up.

I believe that they'll be another run on long guns here in the upcoming months as long gun registration comes closer and closer.

Best advice: Just wait and be patient... the good deals will always be out there. You just gotta be ready.

i believe this to be true...and ammo, 'cause they will need something to feed it!

I see really good deals right now. A $600 AR is quite doable again. Yesterday I saw a $119 BCG and the other day I saw a complete upper including BCG and CH for $399

Well here's an update.

I got my bullet button. The lower is waiting for me to pick up at the FFL. My lower parts kit and stock assembly is on the way!

What part of CA are you in? I may consider selling my PSA 16" carbine upper

[jdex851]

She is complete boys.

How much was total build cost minus the lower

[jdex851]

I spent about $470 for everything except for:
-sights
-lower
-laser/light

[jdex851]

for my first build I think it came together nice.

that's actually very cheap... Just hope none of the parts are made in China... haha
