Yes.. join us..

I'm trying to balance between "as affordable as I can manage" with "AR Snobbery" lol. From what I've seen, the PSA LPK Triggers are decent - with a cleaner break than Bushy & DPMS. I figure I can swap in a different upper later on. Right now I just want something that works and is reliable. I'm not a bullseye shooter and I know I'm not that great a shot, so supreme accuracy isn't a big deal to me

Yikes. That's out of my budget range... LaRue is expensive

Considering a custom upper from that JSE Surplus site.

Nope, I'm looking for budget. If it works and is reliable, i'm not worried about the brand

Very nice. now go make some booms!

Welcome! Got anything yet or still waiting for FID?

For what I'm putting together it's under $700 so far I have confidence it'll work for what I need it to do.. and if it doesn't, I can drop it and grab my PSL

What?!

All of the Larue rails have that on 'em.

Very nice. How much did the BCG and LaRue cost you?

Right now I'm considering the BCM M4 upper. I'm not in a big rush so I dunno if it'll be ready for Dix.

Yes Hornady Critical Defense is ok.

Forgot this... lol.

Yep I'm going to chronicle my AR Build. Still deciding exactly what I want and building from there. First item acquired is a Spikes Tactical Stripped Lower (Thanks, Dan!): I have also ordered a Palmetto State Armory Magpul MOE Lower Build Kit (Magpul MOE Stock, Grip, Trigger Guard, Palmetto State Armory Classic Lower Parts Kit and a Mil-spec Buffer Tube Assembly): http://palmettostatearmory.com/598.php (Note: AR15.com currently has a group buy for it - $124.99 - use coupon code "ar15.com") The upper is from JSE Surplus. Del-Ton A3 upper w/ 16" 1/7 Barrel, YHM Phantom 5M2 Comp/Brake, Magpul MOE Handgrip (Black), Badger Gen 2 Tactical Latch, Rock River Arms BCG, and 4-Rail Gas Block. Total cost so far: Spikes Lower: $80 PSA Magpul MOE LBK: $132 (Shipped) JSE Surplus Custom Upper: $422 (Shipped) Total: $634

Don't need to buy the stock with it.

Yes but it didn't break at one of the hex edges.... it broke smack dab in the middle!

So like your S&W 500?

Quick thought - maybe get him one of the youth combo rifles? .22LR/20GA or .410 GA so you can get him into shotguns too?

Woohoo another Px4 owner. Get a Hogue Handall grip for it

Exactly - why voluntarily put yourself in close arms reach of someone by using a baseball bat. You don't know how armed the assailant will be, with a knife, gun, tazer, pepper spray, hypodermic needle, etc. For your own safety, you should keep yourself at as far a distance as possible. I'm not trying to convince you or change your opinion, but I wanted to point out something that stood out to me on your judgement call. For me, I'll protect myself to the best of my ability, and since I'm not a whiz with a knife and i'm not a martial artist, I'll use my guns... which I know I can at least hit the broadside of a barn with.

If you need a set of CAR handguards, I have a set of RRA ones I can let go for cheap

Nice. She needs a younger man though... lol. She's 25 and he's 42.

Guys - it's been discussed here like crazy. Hornady Critical Defense, Federal EFMJ and Corbon Pow'R'Ball are all NJ legal:
