[BCR #226]

Get yourself a stripped lower and then contact either Del-Ton or Bravo Company for a parts kit. You’ll be able to put a decent AR15 together that way for about $500-$600. Then you can customize as you see fit.

If you have no experience assembling AR lowers, I’m sure there are competent smiths around you that can.

Getting my Del-Ton Dissipator kit this month. $485 sans lower receiver. 16inch barrel with full sight radius and a true rifle length gas system.

Of course I'm taking it with me on my white water rapids trip next month. ;)
