$30 Andurrson lower, $5 usgi silent sling, and $40 fagpul BUIS = <$500 for a (folded twice by glorious belgians) chrome-lined 4150CMV AR-15 made by FN put together by good ole boys for a basically open-source rifle.

>Muh $500 590A1 or Police Magnum
>Muh $600 WASR (lol when paying $250 for a WASR was poorfags not spending the extra $50 for a SAR)
>Muh $2500 out of production obscure 5.56 rifle or "modern" AR-18s in disguise
>Muh $500 Mini-14 that is totes better
>Muh $500 glawk is better than a rifle
>Muh I can't tap a couple pins with a pin punch and buy a $5 CAR wrench to put it together.
>Muh grandaddy's winny 94 BTFO
>Col Cooper's Scout Rifle BTFO
>.22LR is serious bidness BTFO
>H&K proprietary AR15 shills BTFO

Why haven't you accepted St. Stoner in your life?

ALL BTFO by superior American military-industrial complex manufacturing, and surplus by based capitalism.

Primary arms has a couple different sales this past 3 months Where they were $30

>>34715935
Not op, but I saw done deals recently on sites like aimsurplus, but they sold out. Still you could swing <50 without too much trouble
Also a good time to point out paracord attachment slings are boss w/out additional mounting hardware

all of their premium line barrels are FN and pretty much all their parts are as well.

PTAC is garbage
Freedom is decent tier
Premium is quality, and PSA's QC has unironically been better than Colt's as of late.
>>
>>34716019
They were $30 shipped.

Transfer fees are on you, and also apply to all the other options. Transfers are free for me and there are 10 stores with $15 or less transfers within a 20 mile radius of me.

That's charged by the state, not the gun store. If you have a concealed carry permit, the background check is free (as it says right there in the image). You do have a concealed carry permit, don't you?

My dads PSA mid-length ejects at 2 o clock which makes me think it is over gassed. Meanwhile my faxon midlength barrel ejects at 4 o clock with an H2 buffer.

As I was typing this out I think i just realized that Mid-length gas is just a meme.

ar15, the new gun of poorfags.

Did this. Bought a blemished lower in person (based SC) and built it that afternoon. Shoots like a dream. Thick ass stainless steel barrel too, not that pencil sized molybdenum stuff.

gunstores make most of their money on accessories, they get you you in and sell you a holster.
>>
>>34716104
>and pretty much all their parts are as well
You have no idea do you?
That is 100% untrue.
>>
>>34720004
>stainless steel barrel
The kit referenced in the OP doesn't have a stainless steel barrel.
>>
>>34720030
Because it's a new gun store (opened up last October, right before the election), and it is located in a weird fucking area far away from conventional commercial zoning. To the west is a giant office park and across the street to the east is a high school. I doubt they are doing very well right now and are probably in desperate need of new customers, so they will do a little free work to get people in the door.

My grandpa got his first ar15 recently.

300blk, Bear Creek Arsenal upper on an Anderson lower

>He bought it from a local pawn shop
>He put a new Leupold VXR on it
>That's right, the scope is worth more than the damn gun
>He put five shots into a ragged hole at 50yd with it
I've given up trying to understand my family when it comes to guns

>>34720919
you should spend more on glass than the gun. That's honestly a general rule of thumb...
>>
>>34721214
This. His grandpa seems quite squared away.

>>34716019
You're a retarded cuck that doesn't shop around for his transfers either. No wonder you couldn't find cheap anderson lowers.

>doesn't understand machining quality: the post
>>
>>34715935

Last gun show I went to there was a dealer selling them tax included for $40. I bought one and he told me he gets them for about 30-35 depending on factors and he uses them to draw people to the booth.

>tfw also bought a $100 pistol from him too

So yea, it worked.

>>34723743

They know their market.

>process might take an employee 20-30 minutes in full
>you're paying that guy probably 8-10/hr or so
>not like he was doing anything else

Transfers are 100% profit for FFL's. Some are just more jewy than others.
>>
>>34720429

You are kind of wrong.

Lots of FN parts and PSA parts come out of the same machine shop. This machine shop made AR barrels and parts for lots of AR companies. PSA bought the machine shop a year ago, with all of their supply contracts in place.

The components on a more expensive rifle are more than likely machined/forged than cast on budget rifles.
>>
>>34727175
>more than likely
So, you have no idea?
>>
Most companies outsource their parts anyway. Hardly anyone is rifling and treating their own barrels and no one is making their own forgings. BCGs predominantly come from Toolcraft. Any basic lower and upper kit will do fine - the barrel and trigger is where you need to splurge.
>>
>>34727202
This.

>my friend bought a $100 lower and a cheapo LPK
>scratched the fuck out of his lower when installing the bolt release roll pin
>blames cheapo LPK and not his total lack of mechanical skills
>>
>>34727175
Or more likely that they're low volume pieces that cost more vs off the rack things that are mass produced.
