First AR/Build Thread

That should do fine. You'll also need a rear sight of some sort.

>>34411428
Is there a specific tool ill need to put this stuff together besides that weird looking ar armorers wrench

>>34411460
punches for roll pins always helps.

Get an Aero precision lower.

>>34411460
armorers wrench is only if you have a adjustable stock. fixed stock doesn't need one. you will need punches and a small brass hammer.

>>34411460
You can put together a lower with no tools, but it's a pain in the ass. The upper, you would need at least a barrel wrench.

>>34411984
Whats the difference between a psa lower and a aero precision lower?

>>34412107 wow i didnt know that thanks

And talking about fixed stocks.. is the fixed stock on psa and other a2 copies sturdy enough to strike with? Or is it just plastic?

>>34412037
What about a barrel wrench like the other anon replied?

Anybody know of options for .22WMR builds? There's dozens if not hundreds of .22LRs available.
I've got plenty of LRs from lever guns to spare drop in and dedicated uppers. I can't find anything though my googling on magnum builds.

I think the PSA kit has all that pre-assembled, though he'd probably need one if he wanted to change I.

A vise and a vise block are also required for assembly. Otherwise there is no way to actually apply torque to the barrel nut.

>>34413076
The PSA upper linked in the op isnt already tightened?

>>34413133
Yes, it is. Bleh, all the talk about wrenches and stuff got me confused.

I'd get the PSA ones with the adjustable buttstock and a 16" barrel. 20" is a shit ton of extra clumsiness and bulk for not much ballistic advantage at all.

Also, Primary Arms has Anderson lowers for $30.

Why does the bit of wood on top if the handguard have finger grooves?

>>34411383
Fixed on a price range? Add an extra $300 to it.

Would these match color wise?

Does the upper come with railing the would accomidate a red dot and aftermarket rear sights?

Anything in the 16" uppers that are of better quality?

>>34413387
Yes, yes, and yes.

Can't help you with the last question, but I've heard good things about the FN CHF barrel.

>>34413285
No not fixed on a price range but want to get best bang for buck

Im going to use this weekend to think this through and with the help of the /k/ community make a final decision and purchase.

SHALL

Is it very expensive to get your gun cerakoted? I bought a noveske stripped lower and a VLTOR mur upper, not thinking about the fact that the finishes don't match.

>>34413182
Uh, with 20 inch barrels you can shoot through level 3 plate. The wound channel proved that you can do it with a 20" barrel and regular Walmart ammo.

>>34414347
Like $100 to $150 last I checked.

How heavy/dense is the A2 fixedbuttstock? Can I strike with it?

>>34413387
Any additional input here?

>The only thing Im looking for is a 20 inch barrel/rifle length gas system.
Any particular reason?

>>34413036
>Whats the difference between a psa lower and a aero precision lower?
Nothing. And even Anderson is cheaper.

>>34413036
PSA a2 stock is sturdy enough to club baby seals to death- most others will do the same. It would have to be some shitty Chinese bootleg copy to fail when you use it as a war club.
