Should I cop one of those 400-500 dollar AR kits?
Kinda want one
I almost forgot that if you’re worried about difficulty building you can also buy complete uppers and lowers and scale prices to your preference. In the past I wanted a reliable piston AR so I got an aero precision upper. I wanted a cheap but proven lower so I found an Anderson. Total it was $550. Normally a complete Aero can end up like $700+.
people are always letting shyt go for the low and selling out of desperation on gunlist, the outdoors trader, gun broker, etc. stores like primary arms, brownells, etc always got deals too.
