Thread: AR15- First build

Decided after I sold my Remington 700 5r that if try put together a AR15,
Was planning on a budget build but then things got a little out of hand which ment more money

@vbull sold me a lower parts kit and upper complete which consisted of

Del ton milspec chrome lined barrel 14.5 inch 1/9 twist

YHM free float forend

Aero precision A2 upper receiver

Bushmaster bolt carrier group.

After that progress was slow because I was looking for second hand parts at a reasonable price but had no luck! When Ken at nzar15 got his last shipment of parts I though stuff it and ended up buying

Rise Armament RA-140 trigger

AXTS Raptor charging handle

Holosun HS503GU

And a Seekins Lower

Once all the parts arrived I had a look for a a cat stock but didn't want to pay the world for it so looked on trademe, ended up finding a Bell and Carlson Thumbhole stock for pretty cheap so I snapped it up! My build was almost done now! Only a A2 rifle length buffer to go! Searched high and low but everyone seemed to be out of stock and I didn't want to spend $150 on a kit! So I ended up just importing one through brownells which within a week had arrived!

This afternoon I finished slapping it together after a few hiccups (safety Spring getting bent!) it was good to go!

Now it's not the best looking weapon or top of the range, or even budget busting for that matter (minus fun bits) and I don't mind it at all for my first build! It was fun putting it all together and learning a hell of a lot more then I ever would buying it complete! I'd highly recommend to anyone to build their own too! It's been great and can't wait to start the next!
