Wolf McDog The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force. I'm a random monster... and the most powerful boss! I find your lack of faith disturbing. Monster--Opened for Random Access Strikes: 128 Banned Banned Banned Banned Banned Banned (For being an idiot.) Not Jailed (For being busted out by Szyren.) Dominion Master 3/21/2010 2:37:54 AM Level: 85 Experience: 2500627 Total Posts: 294 | RE: Mail call! I built one too! I used all Del-ton parts, unlike Stasis who used a Stag kit and a Del-ton lower. It runs just fine and seems like it ended up being close to $800 total. Not too bad for a decent AR. It did take eight months for them to finally ship my kit though. I think at the last gun show we went to, Del-ton lowers were down around $125. Not that anybody cares, but here's a crummy picture of my purple AR. (Which nowadays is sporting an ambidextrous sling ring on the rear of the receiver and a single-point sling.) |

A local shop turned me on to DPMS, where you can build a complete rifle virtually and have your FFL dealer order it in. He also told me that it's always cheaper to buy a complete rifle than it is to buy parts but I'm still skeptical... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The M107 Anti-Materiel Rifle. It all began when a Marine put a scope on his HMV-mounted .50 machinegun and killed an enemy combatant a mile and a half away. Image borrowed from Stasis's beautiful guns page. |
Stasis Hey Claudius... You killed my father. Big mistake. Dominion Master 3/22/2010 7:45:40 PM Level: 25 Experience: 65000 Total Posts: 691 | RE: Mail call! It is a complete lie that a complete rifle is cheaper than building your own. There is no way you will get the rifle you want cheaper than by building it yourself. Believe that. |

It really depends on what you want and what you can find. I wouldn't say buying a whole rifle is always cheaper, nor would I say building one is always cheaper. I took a quick look on Gunbroker and a Bushmaster was about $1000 for the equivalent of what I built from Del-Ton parts for about $820. Though you could say that's comparing apples to oranges, so I compared prices on a lower receiver parts kit and a complete upper assembly from Bushmaster's web site plus the first Bushmaster stripped receiver I saw on Gunbroker and it comes out to about $840 for the same type of gun as mentioned above. However, my first AR was a Bushmaster and I got it brand new for $700 and didn't have to build it. So it all really depends on what you can find. |

I think with your Bushmaster, God smiled down on you and said "This boy deserves an AR15 on the cheap." and it was so. That's a once in a lifetime occurrence. For all intents and purposes, you're NOT going to find a brand new AR15 for $700. |

I guess that's the outcome of this. |
Jehuty Intergalactic Nomad 3/23/2010 1:58:08 AM Level: 1 Experience: 0 Total Posts: 57 | RE: Mail call! Maybe. Sounds like I still have a lot of research ahead of me. For now I'm happy with my bullpup but I know a lot of people who would like to own an AR-15. I may decide to try both ordering a custom one and building one just so that I can rate the differences between the two experiences. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The M107 Anti-Materiel Rifle.
