Helped me a ton when I built mine.

 

Also, while I totally agree with you building, especially if you already have some experience, you can pick up M&P-15 Sports for 550-650 if you look around.

It depends on how adventurous you are.  If you are not and looking for a starter, just buy a complete lower from PSA for $129.99 with free shipping to you favorite FFL.

They also have complete uppers with the BCG and charging handle for $279.99 + shipping.  All you need to do is push the two take down pins out, mate it to your upper and you are good to go.  You just need magazines and ammo.

 

Even after FFL fees, you should still be under $500 and may have some left over for a mag and some rounds.  You will need some sort of rear sight or you can pick up an inexpensive red dot.

 

This is all a suggestion to get under $500 if you are on a budget.  You can go pretty wild with this stuff though.

I'm very new to Ar's. I have a saiga 7.62 but have been wanting the other side of the coin. I was looking to pick up a cheap one for like $500 but it seems that's impossible. So I'm looking to build one I guess. Anyone wanna point me in the right direction?

 

Is your Saiga 7.62 still a Saiga??? Has it been converted to an AK47??? If not I would highly recommend that as your next project! You will never regret it!!!

Just a reminder - six weeks to black Friday and unless Congress give POTUS bonus points between now and then, there will be some awesome sales because inventory is up, prices are down, and sales are sluggish.  You have the M&P Sport and Ruger just announced a AR556 NJ compliant version.  All depends on how you feel about building one.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
