One step ahead AR build… help me.

Well I started my budget build about 4 years ago. My plan was to stay one step ahead of the bans. So I bought an Anderson lower receiver. Pre-Russian invasion a couple weeks ago I bought some Pmag 30 round 556 mags. So now I have two parts that are always on the chopping block in my state. I figure this Russian invasion is a good excuse to get the show on the road and bump up my completion timeline to sometime this century. The problem is I have forgotten all the research I did on what to buy next! So please help me with the next step. I believe I had been looking at a 16” barrel and some sweet trigger group, likely from PSA. So what recommendations for the lower parts? This will purely be used for target practice/just to have to exercise my rights/just in case. A quick google search says to buy an Aero Precision LPG which will likely be my next step. What say you?

 

Wait, should I change my title to The Zelensky Project?

 

I see where you are in one of those states. I’ve recently completed some builds and I went with the Rise Armament LPK since I was using drop-in triggers. I’m no gun smith but when I bought the parts I just started with the stock and worked forward. Make sure all you’re parts are consistent (i.e. mil-spec) to ensure they fit.

 

Thanks and this makes perfect sense.

 

Reminder:


“mil-spec” is *a* specification- not necessarily a good one.

 

Look at Primary Arms in Houston thru alway have sales on a bunch of parts.

Aero Precision for lower parts are always good and the trigger is not bad either. I have never had any failures from Aero.

 

Thanks for replies. I ordered a PSA MOE EPT lower build kit. It has the slightly upgraded trigger and guard and the MOE Grip and Stalk. I’ll look into the suggestions for barrel and upper parts.

 

Look at Faxon Barrels also
