Cheap ar15

No noone needs one. 2dangerous.

You'll probably still need a bolt carrier group and charging handle, but they can be had for 80-90 if you shop for a while.

Do it. PSA stuff shoots just fine. It's not a 500 yard quarter killer, but it's still fun.

>complete upper for $200
I doubt that. I'll have to agree with the other anon that it probably doesn't include the BCG or charging handle. Add $90 or so for those. Also, it wont include any sights so add another $30 or so. No magazine so add another $10. Honestly, complete rifles are stupid cheap right now, so that's what I'd recommend.

I bought a complete upper (w/ bcg and charging handle) for $260 a few weeks ago. I assembled the lower myself with a PSA parts kit, Anderson receiver and some Colt odds and ends I had lying around. I'm not happy with the rifle so far, but it's an easy platform to improve upon.

Maybe for a PTAC. Though I've heard terrible things about them.

I got my Complete upper with a MBUS sight for 229 over Christmas. I bought the complete magpul lower for 150 as well. It came to about 500 with everything (BCG, CH, shipping, FFL costs) and it's a great rifle so far. Only shot about 150 rounds through it but it's accurate as fuck. Once I get a light on it and maybe a foregrip it will definitely become my HD weapon.

Mine was a "PSA" model (not PTAC) with a nitride finished barrel too which is nice to have. I'm too poor to shoot enough ammo to where I'd probably ever notice the difference between a 4140 steel barrel and the 4150V Nitride finished barrel that I have, but it's nice to have.

lurk red dit com/r/gundeals use a virtual cc if you shop from PSA they've had issues with #s being stolen

i've only ever heard "don't get PTAC" but nobody ever says why.

lets say youve got 2 hamburgers one is normal and the other ones been dropped on the floor and stepped on. its still in the wrapper. even if its deformed as fuck its still clean and edible,
now the squished hambuger costs 70% what the standard burger costs. do you knowingly buy something thats fucked up but functional to save 30%?

>>33320246
what

>>33320892
I've heard about it too. Mind you, I only HEARD about it. It could be bs or an isolated incident. Allegedly, a lot of people have been reporting false charges coming up on their credit card statements after ordering from PSA. Someone there is stealing credit card information (allegedly).

I ordered from them in Jan and have had no problems

Midwayusa has a sale going for AR Stoner complete uppers(250 bucks). From the reviews it sounds like they're decent budget parts.

I've ordered plenty of stuff and it all looks fine to me. Will keep an eye out if that changes.

Their $200 upper doesn't come with a bolt or charging handle.
Cheapest one that does is $270

Complete lower is $130, making it $400 before shipping, transfer, rear sight and magazines.

You can go slightly cheaper, but I wouldn't advise it.

That's $390 but you'd have to build the lower. It's also PTAC so I'd spend the extra $10 and save yourself the hassle. Plus a buffer tube wrench (which you'll need) would probably eat that $10 savings anyway.

If you're thinking of doing that anyway, get this instead:

It's more money but it comes with a decent $50 rear sight and by being a kit it allows you to source the lower from an LGS and mail order the kit to complete it yourself.

Also a personal preference, but I want to put it out there:

Pencil uppers are a little more expensive, but I just got one and I love it. Cuts a lot of weight off the rifle and specifically off the front of it. This shifts the point of balance back making the rifle point and carry much better.
