San Antonio - WTB AR15

[Orbie]

Looking for an AR for my dad. He has a budget in mind so plz let me know what you have for sale.

I would enjoy building his so if you have a deal on upper, lower, etc, plz let me know.

Thanks! and have a good day!

I'll have to look around after I get off work tonight and see if I've got any spare parts laying around but no upper, lower, or barrel or anything sorry. I agree building your own is the way to go, if you want a cheap handguard alternative this is the one I got for mine (mid-length for $69.99) though I think I got it a bit cheaper (year and a half ago with no rail covers) wanted something cheap to later upgrade but unless I ever decide to free-float the barrel there's no reason they are legit.

Take a peek at one of the local Academy stores.

They have some AR's cheaper than you could build one.

Plus, you get some sort of warranty.

I have never seen an AR at Academy cheaper than you can build one for.

Ty for the replies.

Texan, I replied to your pm.

I built my first AR for very little. A friend sold me a CMMG complete upper with barrel and Troy rail. I then mated it to a complete New Frontier polymer lower. All I needed was sights, mags, and ammo. Got those items at CTD and was good to go. I have spent more money on it getting all the Magpul goodies and traded for an EOTECH and cerakote job. I feel that I have a great first AR for much less than I would pay MSRP + tax.

Time to hook up my dad!

It all depends on what you want and how much time and effort you put into finding the best deals on the parts, I built both of mine from the ground up stripped lower and upper etc, first one -CQB 16" cost me around $2100 (optics included Eotech 557 with flip to side 3x magnifier) and the second just over $1000 (optics included Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 with M223 scope mount) I originally had the wood furniture kit on it but had some issues with the handguards so bought went the black route, will eventually free float the barrel and looking into different stock option.

2nd with original furniture

2nd as is now

Let me know if you want some help putting it together or need to borrow some tools, I have all the AR building essentials (barrel wrench, vice block, etc).
