Us mere mortals have to do some stupid things with these rifles.

No welder here. I think I'll stick to buying a completed rifle and be done with it. Walk in, push a few buttons on a PC screen, wait a few minutes, pay and leave. I have to do all that just for the lower anyway.

But the  joy of building one from parts is priceless

That's what the guys from Weird Science said, too. Look how that turned out. Bikers shooting up the house, frozen grandparents in the closet, and no joy in the end.

 

I may build one, but not at this time.

All the more reason to build one from parts. If your bringing it somewhere put certain parts on it if it’s in the house leave certain parts on it etc.

A few hundred out of my price range, but it's sort of cool looking.

Runnings has polymer Lowers for 45$ right now. Otherwise yea the prices have gone up like crazy. 100$ for a poverty pony, I just built one all in with as cheap as possible materials other than the stock. I bought a decent fixed Luth.. Im under 500$ minus the optic.. You could build one for 450 still. You wont regret 223wylde.  shoot 556 for plinking and punching paper, hunt with better 223 ammo. 

Build it comliant or featureless.. real simple. And you can get complete uppers if you dont want to assemble barrels. right from Bear creek. 230$ uppers. only saw one barrel not shoot great and they replaced it immediately.

I've been looking at ammo availibilty for the area, it's mainly .223, .300 BLK, and some 350Legend. Nothing for a .224Valkyrie. Saturday will be the whirlwind of driving to a bunch of places to put this all together. At least hopefully.

I don't plan on a scope at this point, I have a set of AR open sights I plan to put on for now. I bought them about 8 years ago, and they have just been collecting dust since.

 

I appreciate the info, thank you guys.

You can order everything right to your door, to save money vs fuel consumption. other than the lower, that needs a nics check.. ITs really simple

Very true, but when you only have x amount, you only have x amount. This is cash I've been saving up for a while now, it's not going on my credit card.

Goodluck with the search. Share some pics whenever you pick up the new tool/toy

It might have been last night if the place had either answered the phone or called me back. If a place doesn't have 5 minutes to call me back, then I don't have hundreds of dollars to spend in their store.

Radical Firearms FR16 .223/5.56, two extra mags, and 100 rounds of ammo.

 

I'm going Thordsen stock in a few weeks and staying featureless. I have no need for flashlights, a forward grip, or any other gizmos. I originally had no plan to put a scope on her, just use the AR15 sights I have, but I might add a scope later on after I give some thought to red dot or crosshairs.

Nice!!! Looks great! Congrats on your new rifle!

You will love it I'm sure! Lots of stuff you can do with that beauty. AR's are like a blank canvas, just waiting to be done to whatever you want to do!

I may have an extra 3x9x40 scope, and an AR base laying around, should you choose that route and need one.

That's what I put on mine.

Thank you. I'm still pondering a scope or not, once I decide I'll let you know.

Nice! I jus tput mine together, and already thinking about making this one featureless also.. with a Thordsen. I wanted to keep it pinned and standard.. but.. cant make up my mind, I hate these laws.. with a passion. I own a many many firearms, but just put my very first 223 chamber together ever over the weekend lol

Cool on your new rifle as well. Yep, this whole SA thing is a royal PITA. I started contemplating pinning the mag, but the lock I want to use is so questionable I think I'm sticking with my original plan of the Thordsen.

300blk was designed for use with a suppressor. It’s not good for anything else aside from paper punching. Light for caliber bullets generally suck for killing med game and that’s the only option in the 300blk.

Get an ar chambered in 223 wylde, then you can get cheap 5.56 for targets and quality 223 if you want to hunt with it. If you want to hunt deer with an ar15 it’s hard to beat the 350L or my personal favorite the 450BM.

If you’re doing this on a budget I highly recommend building one! You’ll get a way better quality gun for less money than you can buy a complete entry level ar off the shelf. It’s VERY easy to build one and other than a 10$ barrel wrench no special tools are required.

I will say I had a radical. Not bad quality at all for the price range

AR mag lock

Or juggernaut tactical

Both are fine

I put the Thorsden Gen III on the rifle. I actually like it. It's not the same as a full pistol grip, but it still makes the rifle handle well.

Well, you know one because both of my AR’s are set up featureless.
