The upper and lower join together in all of, literally, three seconds. You have to take them apart to do a cleaning, so you’re not exactly getting a bucket of parts to assemble…
You’re essentially buying the complete rifle in two sections, that you can assemble, without tools, in less time it takes for me to light a cigarette. Put 'em together, push the pins, and you’re sporting a rifle of top quality for $50 less than your budget. If you call Grant at G&R Tactical, he can probably work something out that gets you where you need to go.
When you buy an assembled upper and lower, there is no building. These are the basic assemblies you would have if you break the gun down for cleaning. Unless you never plan on cleaning it, you will do this all the time.
Dont put all that junk on the rifle just concentrate on getting a good rifle first BCM ,LMT There are others just look at the chart.
After you get the rifle just shoot it as is for a while get acquainted with it find out your strengths and weaknesses with it then look into getting quality accessorizes for it you will be a lot better off doing that way than rushing blindly into it.
If you just want a cheap plinker, then I wouldn’t spend more than the $600 it takes to get a CCMG Bargain Bin rifle. Probably better than the one you listed, and will serve your can shooting needs.
Later, after you have learned a lot more about the AR platform, you can sell it, get most of your money back, and invest in a top tier system.
If I could suggest one thing, that would be to spend the next few days on reading every bit of good information on this forum.
You will need three things, food, coffee, and aspyrin. Your head will stock a crapload of quality information quickly, and that might hurt quite a bit.
I’ve got a used Magpus MBUS rear sight in black I’m not using that I’ll make you a deal on. It’s got a small scuff mark on it but it functions fine. PM me if you’re interested.
I love you lol.
Thank you for sending me links. It helps alot. Cause i’ve been searching all day for the ones the other guys said but they were all really high over my budget.
While the S&W is a good gun, the best bang for the buck is going to be the BCM.
Don’t listen to ANYONE trying to get you to buy a Bushmaster or DPMS. Run.
Dude, unless you’re gonna make out with the thing, looks aren’t worth shit.
If you plan on actually shooting it, in your budget, go with BCM, LMT, or S&W.
You’re focusing too much on the cart instead of the horse. Get a good horse. If you’ve got a thousand bucks, don’t skimp on the rifle to get a bunch of worthless junk to slap onto it.
I think that we are just going to have to let him make his mistakes and learn from them. Many/most of us made the mistakes and paid for them (literally) and have come to the same conclusions that we are all trying to get this new guy to understand. Let him lug his varmint gun around during a class until he decides that it’s too heavy. Until he does, he won’t care what we say because right now he is in the “tacticool” phase of the black rifle disease.
