I understand. I have been around here long enough to know that these types of threads can morph. I have been reading seeming endlessly the last few days and the abbreviations and "inside" knowledge is a bit overwhelming.Opinions? This thread will be endless
Agree. And you know how it works on an intimate level.There is much difference and more personal satisfaction in firing a rifle you have bought and one you have built.
my only opinion is that i'm glad to hear guys like you are still around, and that i think (from experience) that building your own AR is a great way to familiarize yourself with the weapon...and just plain fun. it's been a while though, and i can't recommend which pieces are better than what currently. ar15.com had a plethora of opinions regarding that back in the day, if you really care to weed through it all.Looking at getting into the AR game. I am fairly handy with my hands/tools, and I would prefer saving some cash, so I am looking at building (or at least partially building). I would like some feedback on this kit from PSA. Thanks in advance.

And you can truly say, This is my rifle. There are many like it but This one is Mine.Agree. And you know how it works on an intimate level.
Agreed. I'm no aficionado but I bought nearly the same thing, melonite freedom upper kits seem to be highly regarded on arfcom, and it's great knowing where every spring is and how it works.Its from PSA. Its at least a reasonable quality rifle kit. And build it yourself. There is much difference and more personal satisfaction in firing a rifle you have bought and one you have built.

Yep I bought a Radical from Aim Surplus. Of course it won't matter if you build it or buy it you will change parts on it. There is a new trigger and stock waiting to be installed on mine.Unless you desire some very specific components for the rifle... You're probably better off just buying a built rifle.
There are tons of $500-600 complete guns out there.
S&W Sport. Radical Firearms. Aero Precision. PSA. All worth a look.
Most kits include everything but a stripped lower, rear sight, and magazine.So these kits are the entire gun, just saving money on the assembly?
That is my assumption from what I see. It is also part of the reason I started the thread; I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything that I should be aware of apart from what was stated above.Most kits include everything but a stripped lower, rear sight, and magazine.
