vjf915 456 Posted January 23, 2011 Everything adds up pretty quickly.....and I don't think you will be able to build this under your $650 price range. In order to get to the range and shoot, you should probably figure ~$900 minimum after any other tools you need, mags, buffer tube, stock, ammo, a cheap case.....and if you are a new shooter you will need eyes, ears, cleaning supplies, targets, and posts for targets. In order to shoot....you need much more than just the gun. It also looks like that upper comes with a front sight, but no rear sight. Trust me.....you will end up spending more than $650 unless you buy a used one. I would love to build an AR, and would start saving up for it today......but I have a hard time justifying the amount of money for a pinned stock and 15 round mags. If my freedoms are ever reinstated, I will be building an AR pretty damn quick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If my freedoms are ever reinstated, I will be building an AR pretty damn quick. Don't let that be the reason for not getting an AR. There are plenty of good looking guns that even though they don't have a 30 round magazine or a collapsible stock. Even with the restrictions there are options out there that still look good and function just as good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even with the restrictions there are options out there that still look good and function just as good. I just have a hard time being okay with ruining perfectly good mags and a stock to comply with BS laws. I will wait and hope that the restrictions lift. The mags don't deter me as much as the stock does. My girlfriend has shorter arms, and a fully extended stock wouldn't work for her when she goes shooting with me. Having a collapsible stock would eliminate that problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vjf915 456 Posted January 23, 2011 You know I don't have the money for that I think the only way around it would be to build 2 lowers. Either that or just let her shoot the .22 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lunker 274 Posted January 23, 2011 This thing is beautiful... And has everything i asked for. This is a little above the upper budget, i wonder if there are any a little less? I have had good dealing with the guys down at Spikes Tactical. They make a good product in my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jcerillo70 16 Posted February 8, 2011 If del ton would ever get my order done, it's been 2 weeks of "processing" I'm dieing!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RecessedFilter 222 Posted February 8, 2011 If you ordered on the 28th, it's been a little over a week so relax! It'll get to you soon enough. Update us on how everything goes, and how Del-ton does. I've heard great things about them and their products, and I might be ordering something from them in the near future so I wanna know how it went.

JackDaWack 2,895 Posted February 10, 2011 Dude i waited almost a month for my RRA to be built. Some of these place only have lowers ready to ship, the rest they need to build by order. However, they do explicitly state on there web site the wait time for an order depending on what you ordered. Dunno about del-ton tho, some places you can order a complete upper wait a month, same place- order a complete rifle and you get it in a week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
