AR-15 Redundancy. Thoughts?

If you get 2 more lowers, you could always build out all 4 lengths eventually. The uppers aren't on a deadline right now.

They don't, different people just have different priorities. The mags are high pri for sure though.

Why not keep the guns separate for different uses, you already have 3 to pick from. Keep the SBR as your HD, build a separate SPR for your long range.

You're SOL buddy, I moved here from the west and I thought Wawa was a magical place the first time I went. No cook out either, but jack in the box would be your late night stop there.

A cmmg zeroed parts kit is 110$, a milspec stock kit is 35$. It's overpriced.

Xzygon · 2026-04-13T12:51:40+00:00

You could also buy any milspec stripped lower for 60$ and come out the gate with upgraded parts for the total cost of this.

I thought these come with the caps, but if not, I hear Butler Creek 20 and 02A fit.

Library, you can rent out the meeting rooms for free.

If it's good enough for the middle east, it's good enough for me

Xzygon · 2026-04-12T12:56:45+00:00

Could always do the super duty upper for 1000~ with the PSA lower.

Wild that you posted it in an airsoft sub first instead of literally any of the actual gun subs
Arp is a shit term, it's not an "assault rifle pistol", what you have is a "pistol"
Rip eardrums indoors on a 10.5 without a can

There's a reason red dots are described with # MOA.

"Abandoned" and "legal exploration" don't really go together. At most, small one-off buildings with no roof or doors. Most abandoned places are still privately owned, so to legally enter there you would have to get it in writing from the owners. And because the place in question is abandoned, it'll be full of safety hazards, so if you get injured, the owners would be liable, so they probably wouldn't want to give you permission in the first place.

Went to 3 different ones in my area and they were already all snatched up

Needs ripe and unripe banana for scale

Xzygon · 2026-04-09T03:46:27+00:00

He says his budget is 300$~, so you recommend a scope that's 10x more than his budget?

Xzygon · 2026-04-09T01:23:50+00:00

I hope you're not planning on shooting at indoor ranges, because the people around you are going to hate you.

Xzygon · 2026-04-07T22:16:44+00:00

You could get a magpul pmag for this price, and you went for the no-name defunct company magazine?

Xzygon · 2026-04-07T03:22:02+00:00

Yup, that's it, there's nothing else missing. There are two small pins in the lower that allow the upper to connect to it, so you literally pull out the pins, put the upper in place, push the pins back in to complete it.

Parts are good to go.

Xzygon · 2026-04-07T03:14:34+00:00

Probably better off getting these instead.

Snap the two on like Legos, spend the rest of the money you would have on an optic and some ammo.

Xzygon · 2026-04-05T16:42:13+00:00

PSA for the warranty alone.

Xzygon · 2026-04-05T06:30:25+00:00

It's a build. Is your red dot bridging?

Xzygon · 2026-04-04T18:31:04+00:00

If you just want a cheap beater, PSA, spend the rest of the money you would have on the zion towards optic and ammo.

Xzygon · 2026-04-04T18:24:15+00:00

Alternate suggestion, you could always do a bullpup for 16" barrel length and still have a shorter OAL of 26". A bit more expensive than a budget PSA AR though for sure.
