I made one . I bought a used DPMS complete lower at centerfiresystems for 130.00 and went on midway USA and bought an AR stoner complete upper for 310 . So I build an AR for 440 after taxes .
SWEET
Just bought all the parts to build my new AR. Core-15 upper with MOE hand guard for $350, stripped lower receiver for $50, parts kit $50 and the MOE fixed stock for $30. So without mags and sight, around $480.
Very nice man!!
nice work man. I want to see how much it would cost now.
complete it would even cost him more than 700 bucks…ie: rear site etc etc.
I would've invested maybe $30 more to get a more comfortable magpul stock
Where did you purchase your kit? I don't know if it's custom or not but if you could fill me in I'd appreciate it greatly
Bought my Palmetto State Armory M4 in June for the same price complete mil-spec with full auto BCG and FN barrel. FN makes barrels for Colt and the Military with Chrome Vanadium. Check em out.
Like it
nice work!
i believe in CA you can only have a 10 round mag and you need a "bullet button" meaning your mag release needs to be difficult to open basically speaking.
awesome thanks man does it shoot good and accurate ? and it is worth the money ?
The lower receiver took about 25 min to put together. Not that hard.
how hard was it to put together
THEY DESERVE A VOTE, did anyone lol at that speech. Gun deaths by ar's and aks are around 2% of all gun fatalities. Lets let 28 people vote for all of the citizens United States.
I am new to stuff like this, so do u need a Backround check to buy the parts?
besides the bullet button(which you can youtube for installation) all you need is for your rifle to have 16" barrel in length and have a 10 rd mag.
As far as I know, all you need is the bullet button, proper accessories, and the proper capacity magazines. If you contact a reputable seller, they know which things they aren't legally allowed to ship to California. Those are the things which you may not have on your AR.
How do you make it CALIFORNIA legal?
Core 15 Uppers all sold out and none for $399.00
dam, now I want to build one….
you can make it cal legal, is not that hard.
Mags made after the ban are fine to own. Once a ban is done everything is legal again until they try to pass another ban then items before the ban are grand-fathered. Pretty stupid I think. Also there really is no way of tracking high capacity mags.
Cud I get alist wit all the parts n prices…..the same as urs ?
Yes last time i checked on the Department of Justice (DOJ) Bureau of Firearms the ban is applied to any mag that can hold more than 10. Again, unless they're pre-ban its illegal. You can go into some gunstores and they might have some pre-ban mags that you can buy for higher price. its legal to buy from dealers but from another person its illegal. Even if they're lending/giving it to you.still illegal. Let me know if you have some ?s about the laws i've spent over 10 hrs reading most of them lol
I think it feels good. You can always try to polish it up a bit to make it smoother.
and basic AR will be around that price.
Cheap!!!! Asss
Shut the fuck up dude frod
I don't know anything about Core 15 but I have 3 Spikes uppers with Spikes BCG's and LOVE them!!! I paid $479 each including BCG's. The Spikes BCG's are not cutaway, so they are the proper weight. These uppers eat any thing from Lake M855 to crap wolf polymer steel. I have them sitting on three Spikes lowers so all the logos match. If $80 is not that big of a jump for you I'd definitely recommend Spikes. Check with JD Tactical – James Dunst james749 (at) hotmail (dot) com – 407-921-8100.
This is what I like to see. A simple, classic looking AR15. Don't need to spend thousands of dollars and hang a bunch of shit off of it just to kill zombies and paper targets. Good job, bro.
a core 15 upper (sku#100276) is now $569.00.
tokarev nation dot com, low prices, great service
I have a spikes lower with a polymer .22lr upper right now and am debating between the core 15 and the spikes upper. Both come with a lifetime warranties too. I'm not sure which one I want tho. Thanks for the reply
So far very well. It also is backed by a lifetime warranty.
@JOHNFMKN so how does the core 15 upper perform?
It has an Eotech on it now.
should put a rear sight on it lol.
does te banning high capacity round mags apply to a handgun? per say the xdm9 19rnd mag?
you have to put in a "bullet button" which makes it legal it's pretty cheap around $8 or so also, it has to be semi-auto, and can't have any high capacity mags (more than 10) unless they're pre-ban (before 2000).
what mods would i have to do?
