Building an AR-15 on the cheap for $500 or less. In this part of the series we’re reviewing the Anderson Arms lower receiver and Palmetto State Armory Defender lower parts kit. The Defender kit features a very slick polished and nickle plated trigger and hammer. Swweeeeet!
Budget spent so far:
Anderson Receiver – $50
PSA Defender LPK – $55
Total: $105 usd
Will this work on an m&p sport 2 upper ?
Anderson lower is designed to take smaller pistol grip screw. If you buy the Anderson lower parts kit, the screw for grip is half the length of any other one.
I am selling the mechanical parts to convert an RF-31 to CNC for $320. pthomps2@gmail.com
Nice review. I'm getting to pick up an Anderson lower for My AR pistol build. Do you recommend The PSA lower parts kit or a Anderson lower parts kit??? Could someone give me some feed back please??? Never have built an AR platform before. Need a little advice… Thanks
Good video, lose the shitty music. It doesn't help anything.
Great video
hey I love the serious good work on the videos man
i paied 117 bucks for my striped Anderson lower receiver. original price was 80 bucks but with my Chicago taxes i had to pay a little more..
did you have to purchase an FFL in order to buy these parts?
Only thing polished is where the sear meets the hammer to hold the trigger caulked. The rest just has a coating on it.
Nice video. I got an Anderson lower very well built.
I got the Anderson lower and bought a mil-spec lpk for it without the pistol grip and as addition to how I wanted it fitted my way bought a magpul noe grip and I see the minor gap on the back-strap that goes up to the rear of the receiver but it mounts perfectly flush to the grip mount on the receiver itself. that being said it's a really great buy for the money and the plans I have for the build will only end up costing me roughly $650 for a rifle that will function flawlessly and fit my wants as I see fit. it's an excellent investment altogether
Going to start my first build same parts
I can get a complete Anderson AR for $499……Would that be a good weapon?
Is it an 80% lower? and did you have to sign an ffl?
Just finished my own Anderson lower today! Thanks for the help man
I've come across pistol grips with a lil excess polymer, just sand it even and there shouldn't be a gap.
Excellent video, thanks!
Andersons are $70 in Long Island, NY and an Aero precision lower at the same Shop was $100. Owner recommended the Anderson's if I didn't care about the Logo. I bought the Palmetto lower build kit. For $89.99 you get the buffer, tube, and 5 or 6 position stock. Sometimes they have free shipping on this kit.
On both Anderson lower + Palmetto lower kits I've built, I had slight fitment issues (grip not seating perfectly, pins(trigger and hammer) sometimes really DON'T want to slide through and the bolt release was sticking)
Great video and good explanation. Keep up the good work!
If anyone is interested the mil-spec for the grip screw is 1/4-28 x .625 min length, not 1 inch min as some seem to think.
I recently got one, feels very good and cannot wait to take it to the range, also btw Kondition1 what is that song in the backround it sounds like progressive, i must have the name! please!
