OK guys, im slowly trying to put together an AR15. Just curious WHERE you guys are getting parts from? Is there anywhere in NORTH NJ that stocks AR parts? Looking for a mil-spec buffer tube & assembly and eventually an upper.

Im still undecided on either a 14.5" or 16" for a CQB rifle. I have been buying most of my stuff online from BravoCompanyUSA. Any thoughts?

Palmetto State Armory

I ordered mine at target master but they just went and ordered it from brownells

There are others, but those are where I get most of my parts.

PSA, and ill prob either get my upper from them or BCM.

 

Was also looking on the vendor accessoryarms he seems to have a decent selection & price and will pin/weld/complient-ize your upper for you...

I've assembled 2 AR's from stripped lowers and the only parts I bought in NJ were the stripped lowers themselves. Everything else has been mail order.

First Line Tactical in jersey city stocks AR parts. Haven't been there in a while so I have no idea what they have. You could try calling them.

thanks!

I ordered most of my stuff from Palmetto State Armory though. Can't beat the quality and prices.

I just did 14.5 and like that length a lot for close move and shoot....

Palmetto, Brownells, Midway, Bravo Company, CMMG..bought parts from all of them no problems thus far

Lots of good vendors mentioned in this thread.

 

I would like to add ADCO as they are another good vendor, who also does great gunsmithing/machining for the AR platform.

Almost forgot, Primary Arms, and Midwest PX-(Forum member)

Just went there yesterday and ordered my stripped lower from them. They didn't seem to have any in stock... but they order from their supplier (DSG I believe) with no extra fees. My Spikes lower should be in in a week. (All other parts except the MIAD grip, Geissele SSA and LPK, have been or will be ordered online.)

How did the store look? Haven't been there in a few months (right around the time they opened). Did they have a lot in stock?

The store was nice. Still had that freshly painted smell. David was very very helpful getting my order together. The shelves were kinda empty. They had a bunch of magpul stuff, some Rothco Apparel and some duty belt things.... but it looks like a lot of stuff will need to be ordered from them for a little while yet while they build up inventory.

 

Back to the OP's original question.... I think I'm gonna order my upper from Accessory Arms (with comp pinned/welded) but not for a few months yet. (I'm building over time, and I've already spent my first 4 month's budget! Ha!)
