So it is babby's first AR build and im looking for some information on how i should go about building my first AR-15. I really like Magpul's A E T H S E T I C and would love to build an AR that looks like pic. I have a budget of $900.
What manufacturers should I go to/stay away from for parts?
Reputable dealers/sites to buy parts from?
Please help a wanna be /k/ommando out

its quite possible to build that for 900 if you are willing to give up on that specific rail and flashider
if you do want those parts thats like 500 bucks for 2 parts
>>30390877
I think i can do without that specific flash hider and rail.
What would be some acceptable substitutions?
>>30390833
To to /arg/ they are pretty helpful when they aren't jerking each other off
>>30390833
Have fun OP
My first complete build (magpul furniture one)
>>30390833
Aero upper
PSA lower
FN CL CHF barrel
MI G3 MLOK handguard
MBUS sights
J Comp brake
ALG trigger (or MBT w slow shipping)

Thanks Anon
If you dont mind me askin, how much did you spend on that build? minus the ACOG
I'm also looking at building my first AR, as well as modifying the one I now have.
Does anyone have experience with piston conversion kits?
Are they worth the effort? Are there any brands to avoid?

>Are they worth the effort
not at all. if you want a piston gun buy an ak or something else
whats up with the Ruger AR? are they complete shit or comparable to any other milspec AR build?

About 700iirc
I got a discontinued fluted barrel 1in8 twist(bushmaster iirc)
Voodoo bolt carrier group
Magpul furniture
I actually like the A2 grips - I hated any other I have used
The scope I got for $25 or something
It's just a Chinese knockoff, but I got it second hand (unused) - works great
Rifle length everything
Low profile gas block plus angled foregrip & rails on 2 sides iirc
>>30391320
Sling was given to me also
Blackhawk!
>>30391320
I may have also put a RRA 2,stage trigger in that one too, but I don't remember for sure - I have 3 of them & a Gisele or whatever they're called
Way better than a milspec trigger!
>>30390833
what barrel length is that?
I built mine off an Anderson lower, DD parts kit and furniture, and a complete mid-length upper from BCM.
It was a bit over 900 due to the DD furniture/parts kit. Magpul furniture and any milspec parts kit will work for cheaper.
