Hey all, Long time lurker first time builder! I just got done building her this week. I just wanted a plinker/budget build. I Went to the range to test it out and all went smooth. Except it took me a while to sight in my Magpul pro sights :( Since the front sight is on the gas block, It got super hot super quick!
Parts list:
Lower- Aero Precision=$90 at LGS
Damage Industries LPK= $40 online (Not liking the trigger. Really gritty!)
Stock/Buffer kit - No Name of Ebay=$40 (Like it so far, may upgrade in future)
Upper- SAA- $469+Shipping-(16" SOCOM 1:8 Mid Length MOE Dragon's Head Magpul MOE Handguard, Nickel Boron BCG)
Sights-Magpul Pro's=$109 PSA. (was originally going to order upper through them but heard wait time was way long. Decided to just get the MBUS that were on sale)
So, for my first AR I think I did pretty good. I got the bug so I know I will be changing some things in the future. I just want to enjoy this set up for a while before I start laying down the dough on upgrades. Ive been told to shoot it with the iron sights for a while, then get a red dot/scope. Should I wait!
