Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire First AR build - help

My younger son was home over Christmas so we put one together out of mostly just parts I had about the place. I picked up a PSA ‘blem’ lower for $149 some months ago. I had an A4 style upper, an Anderson Mfg BCG, I bought a no name keymod 15 floating handguard and the rest of the upper parts for $120. It’s all just mil-spec stuff with the exception of two things, the barrel and the trigger group. I always spring for a quality barrel and a good trigger group. Here’s why:



100 yards. 20” SS Wilson government profile 223 Wylde chamber 1/9 twist. Trigger is a Rise Armamant 3.5# single stage trigger. Scope is an old 3x9 Tasco I had sitting around so we could go give it a try. Always use a good barrel.

This is a $600 gun as shown.
