Best value AR15 components

[ptcrad]

$45 anderson lower from Gunbuyer.com. 40 ffl transfer at Highland pawn. total 84 with tax.
Too bad I ordered 4 anderson Lower at Turner at $59 plus tax. I would cancel if I could without losing my deposit.

RF85 complete upper at Anderson is on sale for $499. Oil free baby

Palmetto State Army have great deal too but they don't have my configuration.
DSGarms have great deal on Magpul Buttstock with buffer tube kit. ACS L plus tube is 89 +8 shipping. CTR plus Tube is 75 plus +8 shipping. I do like the style of their complete upper, full rail look great.
I'm not sure if the buffer tube is made of 7075 t6 or 6061 t6 aluminum. I prefer the higher number for my built.

If a guy were to build an AR15 for civilian use there is no reason to pay for a machine gun barrel. Who do you guys think is the "best value" manufacturer in **components** for a civilian / recreation / SD use AR15?
ie best value for barrel / uppers / lowers / optics...etc. I appreciate the knowledge here thanks for the education.

"Value" is subjective. For some people it means "cheapest that works reasonably most of the time", for others "value" means "best there is works all the time no matter what".

Thread is invalid without even to bring up a nazi reference.

I've had really good results using "cheap" del ton and DPMS barrels. As far as upper/lower receivers, if we are talking mil spec forged models, they're pretty much all the same.

Same here. My $160 Del-ton 1/9 twist non-chromed lightweight barrel outshoots my 2 Daniel Defense and BCM barrels. It hits the 600 yard gongs all day long.

Jimi Jah what is the heaviest bullet you can shoot out of that 1/9 barrel and still maintain accuracy?

This as well as many other resources can help you.......

Twist rate Spoken pronunciation Written notation Bullet weight stabilization
One revolution every 7 inches “One in Seven” 1/7 55-85 grains
One revolution every 8 inches “One in Eight” 1/8 50-80 grains
One revolution every 9 inches “One in Nine” 1/9 45-75 grains

Palmetto state armory is the deal site.
The post stuff. Sell out of stock in minutes and take a month to ship.
But Ya. Radical Firearms has new stuff out. I've been killing mine. Put 1000 rounds of Tulammo thru one already. Gas key isn't properly staked, but the screws didn't walk. Whatever.
Optics often on sale at primary arms. Either primary arms red dot or bushnell trs-25.

^Pretty much this^

You can sometimes get good deals out of Midway or Brownells. I have seen them putting out their in-house brand AR barrels for $79-ish. Black Friday was the day you should have gone shopping. A bunch of us picked up complete lowers for around $200 shipped.

Value, to me, means the best parts for the least cash. PSA. Wait for a deal on a CHF barrel upper in the configuration you want. There are other options, but I only have first hand experience with PSA.

Thanks dtrump this is more to my liking, still has the quality minus the rail check out that price http://palmettostatearmory.com/index...ged-upper.html

I picked up that upper on a black friday deal. Shot the snot out of it last week, and it was awesome. Cant beat psa except when it comes to shipping lol.

I was using reloads with Hornady match 69 grain with Varget powder in that Del-ton 20" barrel. I also have reloads of 75 grain and Nosler 77 grains but I haven't tried those in the 1/9 twist, just in the 1/7 twist 16" DD and BCM barrels, not that great next to the Del-ton for accuracy.

My non-chromed barrels shoot more accurate than my chrome lined. Unless you mag dump or shoot full auto, you don't need chrome lined.

JJ,

Will a 20" barrel vs. a 16" barrel have any effect? Honest question.

I have a Delton in the 16" flavor.

I'd check out MAS Defense

shop.masdefense.com

Good prices, mostly amercan made stuff. Bought all the parts for my upper except handguard and BCG from them. Good quality so it seems. Really good prices for cerro forge upper recievers. Complete cerro upper receiver with tmarks was like $80.
