Black Friday – $550 Budget AR15

Back in m day most ARs ran about 500$ 😔😔😔

4:07 get to da choppa!

If only I was in the US…🥺

Someone's a fan of the mechanicus, or at least their iconography.

Fuckin A man. That's impressive shooting. Imagine how much better that run would have been with a cheap magnifier in front of that dot…
It's awesome the way everybody just pushes through the inclement weather instead of running indoors and calling the match.

If the KP15 and full WWSD2022 rifles are available now – does that mean the stupid lawsuit has been dropped? Or just the injunction?

Calm-cool-collected. The best rifle is one you don't have to think about and that Budget-Stoner delivered. Physique of a marine mammal for the win lol. 👍 Please note the YT thumbs-up emoji is left-handed.
My KP-15 is a budget gun as well with KE's TiN-coated mil-spec fire controls, Radian 45° ambi safety and a Geissele bolt catch, all other odds and ends are CMMG. It's paired to a S&W upper with 16" A2 barrel with a FSB and carry handle rear. Magpul's carbine handguard isn't free-floated of course, but it still weighs about as much as a carbine-length carbon-fiber tube (about 8 1/2 oz.), only it's $35 instead of $300-$400. My carbine came in at almost exactly $550 and 7lbs. 9oz, with an 18650-powered flashlight on a UTG mount and a V-Tac quick-adjust sling. The non-free-floated config is good for distances that exceed my capabilities with iron sights anyways (can't see s*** past 300), so it works. More importantly the KP's classic lines lend the gun a shrunken M16 vibe, which makes me happy.

Years ago I built a budget fun gun that turned out great. A retro upper builder was transitioning out of retro stuff and selling off uppers for cheap. I bought an 11.5" Commando setup with a C7-style upper (A1 carry handle + brass deflector). I traded in a crappy old pistol for a stripped lower (the pistol was so crappy that I considered that a screaming deal) and bought a milspec parts kit. Brownells had a deal on their retro chrome-plated BCGs and I snagged one of those. I put an old A1 pistol grip and a pistol brace from my parts bin on it until the eform1 came back, then I swapped out the brace for an old OG plastic carbine stock and made a sling out of a bungie cord, dog leash snap and duct tape. BOOM, HEAT clone! I've since upgraded to an ALG trigger and put a red dot on top of the carry handle, and it's become one of my favorite guns to take to the range or a match. I need to run it through a carbine class here soon.

PSA has the complete Classic lower for $119.99 and $259.99 for a PSA Classic 16" upper with BC & CH. that's $379.98 + tax..If your in S.C. it free shipping to your local PSA and no transfer fee.

If it ain't rainin, you ain't trainin.

My favorite budget build was a KP-15 mil-spec lower, PSA mid-length, free-float, pencil barrel upper, and a Primary Arms 2.5x prism scope. Out the door for like $750. Later I put a KE Arms DMR trigger on it. It shoots better than any other AR I've owned

The “just as good” crowd appears to be vindicated on this one and I’m here for it.

Don't let Karl see that shot-up cactus

Unpossible. The internet idiots told me pencil barrels and non-free floated handguards makes an AR-15 shoot like a mini 14.

I have this exact barrel on an aero slick side upper on my OD KP-15. It shoots great and seems to be an amazing barrel for the price.

I got a KP-15 lower for about $125 and a bear creek upper for $209, under $350 for an AR? I couldn't resist.

Curious. What did you think of Nutnfancy's review of the WWSD KP15 variant? Is your gun as inaccurate as his rifle was?
Or is your gun very accurate like Henry Chan's (from 9 hoke reviews) was?

But not for me. Haha.
