Just buy what you need to get the gun together and go shoot it. Then figure out what you want to change.

Think of it as a box of Legos. In a couple of years you will have a box of spare AR pieces just like the rest of us. Then you will rummage through that box and realize "Hey, I almost have everything I need to build another AR!"

Have fun

lol if you look at my AR you will know that DIDNT happen. I mean I pieced it so particular with to much focus and forgot a dag gum castle nut! Had to order one and a wrench to complete the darn thing.

I have probably built 6 ARs over the years, and only one was over $550 complete.
I have upgraded a few, and I have a whole tote of AR leftovers. But i never have had a spare castle nut, and I've had to order a couple. Never found one locally except at gun shows.

Rex B- I was to impatient to hunt one down locally or wait on the next gun show. I am definitely hoping to be less picky next time around

Joe Bobs Outfitters has the fastest shipping I have dealt with so far. So +1 to them

I was rummaging around in my parts and discovered a completed lower and a bunch of other AR parts that I had completely neglected to use. There also seems to be a spare MGB in the closet. I remind myself of Great-Grandma who told me the reason she had a closet full of sugar was that she wanted to get it before the hoarders got 'em.

1s1k52 - Great looking lower! My 23 year old daughter likes FDE so I bet yours will too.

I hope to have that much stuff laying around one day. Well my daughters are much younger but yeah my 4 year old digs it. Right now she is telling me she is going to be a pink firefighter nurse police girl.

For some reason that really tickles me

you think that is funny? At the time she said it she leaped out of what we thought was a coma. She had been very ill all morning and on the couch and my wife and i were discussing my new job. My daughter went from looking on the verge of death to been running around full speed since 11:30 am. What I wouldn't do for that kind of energy right now

Maybe she was just recharging?
