Hi guys, could use some advice, what would be the better of these two choices. A new frontier lower with a delton upper or a m&p15, both nj compliant. Thanks all.

I'd take the m&p15 of the two choices.

 

What are you looking to pay for the 2?

M&P with the better option being to build your own and get exactly what you want..

I want an M&P sport just so I can have one that's fun to shoot, inexpensive ...and then maybe next year build one when I know what I like.

How much would it cost to build a good complete rifle

How much would it cost to build a good complete rifle

 

more than an AVERAGE off the shelf rifle.. 

 

but at the end of the day you are not replacing parts left and right to get the gun what you want it to be.. so in the end you are even or ahead.. also taking into account that when piecing it together buying used is an option to save money on the pricier items.. 

 

this about it like this.. a $600 AR is exactly that.. a very entry level carbine gas system 16in rifle likely no forward assist... or dust cover... run of the mill lower parts kit.. nothing worth getting too excited over.. 

you build the gun you are only limited by your wallet and imagination..

I'm almost at $1400 as she sits now. I had Vlad's help in pieceing this build together. With that I have a $200 dollar Geissele trigger, more expensive then needed lower parts, an $80 charge handle and some accessories that you probably aren't interested in.

 

If you have the self control (unlike I do) you should be able to put together a complete mil-spec AR for $1000-$1100 without going crazy looking for deals.

BCM Lower with transfer $420

BCM Upper with compliance work $600

Small incidentals $200

 

$1220 for a top quality gun.

You missed the opportunity to buy my M&P15FT, because you hesitated and did not "pull the trigger"----"he who hesitates is lost" Another forum member grabbed it and loves it---that could have been you!

$600 for a compliant BCM upper?

Bcm upper - $450 ish + shipping + hand guard is about 600

 

Most likely a 16" variety with a decent muzzle device.. or you can go for a 14.5" setup which would cost a little more

2 different M&P15-22s

don't forget the bolt carrier group and charging handle and iron sights.  

 

i think the cheapest way to get a nj compliant BCM upper is to get their 14.5" EAG tactical upper with the BCM mod 1 compensator and have it shipped somewhere to get the lug ground off for $30.  thats still $810 for the upper, plus shipping.  but it gives BCM gunfighter charging handle, BCM BCG, and mbus rear sight and MOE hand guards.  i still think its the best deal out there unless you got a colt 6920 for $100-200 more somewhere.  

 

as for the original poster.  i have seen both the M&P and the del ton.  i like the m&p a lot more.
