The best reason to piece one together yourself is you can get the parts you want, instead of buying an off the shelf rifle then having to spend more money changing stocks, handguards, sights, etc to get it the way you want. And it also gives you the opportunity to pick and choose what parts go into the rifle as well ( lpk, bcg, barrel, muzzle brake, etc)

For a shotgun the minimum barrel length is 18" and the minimum overall length is 26" (the same as a rifle).

Thank you for your service and welcome to the forums. Heres a thread that has many pages of pics of members ARs so you can get some ideas for your build http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/10555-ar-pics-lets-seeum/

A few passes through a bandsaw should do the trick

Yep like 3" shells filled with 9 pellets of depleted uranium http://www.luckygunner.com/12ga-3-uranium-drone-load-tacnition-5-rounds

Any pics yet? Thinking of buying the same one next week. How long did it take from when you ordered it to when it was delivered?

I wish we could buy them, then we could get great deals like this https://www.canadaammo.com/product/detail/norinco-1911-government-model-1000-rds-combo-deal/

I dont have any experiance with Andersons, but personally I would buy one of these from AIM while they are still in stock http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=F1SASLGEN2&name=Surplus+Arms+%26+Ammo+GEN+2+SA15+Lowers&groupid=11 I have the gen 1 version of this and they are nice lowers

www.dsgarms.com has them in stock in both black and fde

Heres the link to the cans, but I cant find anything about free shipping http://www.midwayusa.com/product/369902/military-m2a1-ammunition-can-50-caliber-new-11-x-5-1-2-x-7-olive-drab?cm_cat=Cart&cm_pla=ProductDesc

99% of the time a SOG X-Ray Vision Mini and occasionally a CRKT Delegate

The surefires fit completely inside your ear

I agree for a $50 difference Id support the local shop, now if its around $100 (or more) difference then Ill buy online. And most of the time buying online seems cheaper untill you factor in shipping & transfer fees

Meh, IMHO it would be better if they'd take that Trijicon abortion off the top and replace it with a T1 that weighs about 4x less. Id still rather have my AR and the .22 conversion for it.

Keep an eye on the EE on ARFCOM, you can usually find new take off Colt carry handles on there for ~$60

Hmmm, I might have to get the extended buttpad for it if I decide to order one. BTW your rifle looks real good with the new stock, that a 14.5" upper?

I agree, this is partly why I am not a member either. While I would like to one day see us get CCW here in NJ, there are far more important things going on in this state right now that they shout be focusing thier efforts on. Although I will give them credit that Ive seen them accomplish more in this state in the short period of time they've been around than I can remember the NRA ever doing for us in NJ.

Well Ill be damned, just checked thier website and it says mine shipped yesterday. I never got an email about it shipping though, the last email I got from them said it was backorders til 7/30/13.
