I’d really like to pick up an ar15 to add to our modest “arsenal”, but the prices are already going up faster than I can save for one.
Been looking at getting one of the 80% lower receivers and doing the finish machining myself. It’s doable, but still, in total, the AR is an expensive rifle to own (although admittedly likely worth it - that doesn’t help me come up with the cash).
Any FReepers built their own SA rifles? Is there another SA I could obtain/build at a better price that would be worth considering? I’ve read the AKs are pretty easy to build due to their sloppy tolerances and I’m starting to look into those, but I’m still learning.
You can get a new AR15 over the counter at Walmart for $600 now. $800-900 if you want a better one.
