So, I'm thinking about getting/building my first AR. Any suggestions from the gallery?

First thing to decide is how you want to shoot it and what you want it to do. Are shooting heavier bullets important to you?

 

[Shadow]

I cant fire them cause they all break when i touch them

 

[Shadow]

hmmmm is that the right brake break ?????

I built mine a while back with all Palmetto State Armory parts. Couldn't be happier with the outcome. They are slow to ship, takes them 3 weeks to ship.

Not all of them gas you.... just my dirty ones

Then I've never shot a clean one

 

[Rayne]

I didn't notice that being a problem when I was shooting one last time.

Trying to find a center fire rifle that won't break the bank to shoot. It also intrigued me to be able to switch uppers and be able to use a larger caliber to hunting.

 

[Shadow]

at least you got to shoot one

 

[HotPocket]

NO WAY !!!!

Not me

The reason I asked about heavier bullets, is if you decide you want to stretch it out to 600 yds or so You'll be better off with 74 grain bullets or maybe even larger. And if that IS the case, you'll want a barrel with a 1:7 twist instead of a 1:9 twist. That's really about the only decision you'd have to really make.

Everything else is easy to swap and doesn't quite matter as much. Just buy quality parts are you'll be fine. PSA makes good stuff.

Not me

or pins fall out

You haven't broken one of mine yet

I'd rather you didn't either

 

[Rayne]

Well I got six acres to mow before my dentist appointment this afternoon. Ya'll have a good one.

I never have any problems with mine, and have run at least 2500-3000 rounds through it in the last year.
