Can You Build a Rifle For $1,000?

I’m left eye dominant too. Love your videos. Gonna keep working

They have to name it sport bc the same reason there’s directions on shampoo bottles.

What do you think about a 50 dollar Amazon red dot? 😂😂😂😂😂

I bought this exact AR a few months ago at PSA for around $600. I've since changed the stock to an MOE stock, the grip to an MOE grip, the handguard to a quad rail, added a magpul RVG, and put a vortex UH-1 with a flip up 3x magnifier behind it. love this rifle. im about 700 rounds in and haven't had any issues with it, not a single jam.

What is your advice for left eye dominant shooters to be able to keep both eyes open with a red dot?

If you are patient and build your own stuff it's a lot easier to get sub 1k, however you need to account for toolage soooo… not really.

This is a fantastic video. Solid advice was given. Thank you for taking the time to make this.

Ready for the range? Yes. You can do that for a lot less thank $1k. If you want it fully tacked out, no. I disagree with including the cost of ammo and hearing protection, extra mags etc. You can get a good budget AR with irons and a sling. Definitely close to $1k but you can keep it under that if you absolutely need to.

I have a some all plastic rifle, think it’s a Omni or whatever. I keep it in my tractor. Never been clean or respected. Will kill a dog every time I pull the trigger. I’d trust it. Gave like 400 for it brand new.

Not now prices and parts have gone up. Before the shortages I build my own for around 875.00 . That's me doing all the milling on the lower.

goes to show the high end guns and gear make you a better shooter . Thats not a good thing you should be a beast with whatever is available FYI good video though thumbs up for me

I mean… you can build a RIFLE for under $1000. But a LOADOUT? Nah…

50:37 can somebody explain to me..wtf was that sound? Was that Lukas having an absolute orgasm cus he hits his targets? LMAO AMAZING XD

👍👍👍

AR's have never been used in war

On my selector switch I'm going to have "fully semi-automatic" labeled right there in the selector switch. 😂 It'll be my little joke to me. Every time I put that selector switch down I'll know what it says. And it'll bring me to the time when we watched on the news those geriatric Democrats try to claim that they knew what they were talking about when they said fully semi-automatic weapons.

You can build a complete ar-15 for $300, this video is a lie. Just look up discounted upper and lower, you will always find a deal on a complete version (including ar pistols). Ammo, a magazine, the transfer fee, the gas needed to get to the FFL, and any other addon to the rifle would be less than $500.

The only issue I saw was the sling 😆. Good video!

Writtenhaus proved the "Sport" rant was big true

and who in the yosemite sam hill matches their chest rig to their rifle? its either all camo or all black thats the choices

you were supposed to be talking about JUST THE RIFLE ONLY..not the loadout kit to go with it, but you also proved we can build it for under $1,000

I hear this is good for defending against kiddy fiddlers in Kenosha too!

i mean if you are just talking rifle alone I don't know I have seen it done !

LETS GO BRANDON 🇺🇸

I really liked this video. Not bad at all. I own an FN-15 tactical and did amazing upgrades to it. Though, pertaining to this video specifically, I honestly would rather buy an AR-15 from radical firearms or Diamondback. I just feel like they’re better if we’re talking budget and performance.

can you explain why you would need a chest rig if your ar is a home defense gun

The gas block has a QD socket on the bottom. At 11:19 you can see it in the video.

Your disdain isn't even thinly veiled…

Outstanding! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Excellent rifle upgrade suggestion presentation! You are very knowledgeable on the subject for a young man.

Ok pause real quick….. who says you need to have a full chest rig to have a “complete rig” and also who the hell says you NEED an optic? How do you think soldiers of the past handled their businesses cause it wasn’t with a red dot. You’re mentioning a lot of “nice to haves” not “ must haves”.

Nothing wrong for putting the weapon proper context compared to higher end builds. But snotty, immature snips are small. $1000 bucks is a 2-3 week paycheck for many folks. Using the word "cheap" over and over instead of more inexpensive says it all. Almost as though he's never had to worry about money. Either that or he forgot. Bright kid, needs to grow up.

Buy Sport for 2020…lol Yeah,.

SKS $400, ALOT of clips $20, 1500rnd 7.62×39 $500, sling $20, clip on light $40, fat juicy burger for lunch $20 total $1000

If you're basing your budget rifle on how accurate it is out to 300m, you're probably looking in the wrong direction.

Loved the vid, thanks Lucas

isnt slinging your rifle over your back risky? couldn't a bad actor take control of your rifle from the rear?

You can build a rifle for under $1000, because you don't need an AR to have a rifle. Got a Remington 770 in 7mm Remington Magnum. Came with a 3-9x scope. For 300 dollars. Made hits on an 8 inch plate at 600 yards with it using Remington core-lokt. I have nicer stuff but wanted to see what it could do, and it performed just fine. Cheap does not mean ineffective. Semi auto? No, but on a round-per-round basis, it smokes 5.56 ballistics and is superior to .308 even. People need to know that cheap guns can work too. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars to be armed with something effective. I think there is a big financial incentive for gun channels to steer people toward their sponsor's products and away from mass produced firearms, even though those firearms can be effective too. All the tacticool fellas don't want to admit that if the dude living in a trailer, with the cheapest bolt action you can get, can go kill a deer – then it can work for defense as well. People fought with less gun than an AR for a long, long time.

Dang! An actual master class!!!

Ya i have to agree it work if you don't use it. Because my m&p works until it gets used then i have to clean it and then it just sits on the wall looking cool

Can you build a gun for under $1,000?

Yes and no
Yes its under $1,000
No he didn’t build it and added too many unnecessary attachments.

Your argument for sport is weak, and is why lawmakers can get away with banning the AR platform 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

Or I could just get a PSA rifle…

Wow you sound like you want the 2a rights taken away, you want to lable it a weapon of war that's your opinion. If you bought your yours for war then you will probably be waiting for a while. I bought mine to plink around and for protection, not for war.!

Including ammo in the price of the rifle is like including gas in the price of a car
