From the AR Building Desk of John Rourke – December 12th, 2017

 

Recently had a lot of questions regarding building AR’s. I am not an expert and some have – and will – call what I do assembly rather than building. That’s fine and not far from accurate.  I have never built an AR upper from parts. It’s planned but never found the need. So complete AR upper componants have been the cornerstone of my builds. Lowers? That’s a different story. i have built almost all of my AR’s using stripped lowers. For those who are not aware a stripped lower is merely the lower half which holds the trigger and hammer and magazine – as well as the stock.

In no way am I going to do a step-by-step guide to building an AR. YouTube is perfect for this and there are some excellent video’s that show each step.

So this isn’t too long let’s build JBernDrApt an AR pistol in the simplest manner possible:

Lower: PSA AR-pistol Complete Lower with Shockwave Blade Stabilizer – $179.99(sale!)

Upper: MSF 10.5″ SS Barrel Upper with Free Float Quad Rail – $279.99

Bolt Carrier Group: M16 Bolt Carrier Group(BCG) with Charging Handle – $74.99

Total Price: $534.97

This will basically build you this – fairly similiar:

Granted – there will be some shipping charges, transfer fee(don’t pay more than $15), and you have to get a magazine and sights.

Not bad if you want a pistol.
