If you buy a lower parts kit you can have it assembled in 90minutes.
Add a pre-assembled upper, and you have an AR-15.

I want yet another AR-15

Oh god ew they want almost 1,200 for that. Fuck that
With that kind of money you could get something good from a good not anti 2A company like a BCM (which this is just rejected BCM parts) or a little more you can get a SOLGW
Would never waste that much money on a Springfield,

Okay, I have about 8 hours searching and researching.
My brain is mush!
So, add what I am missing:
I need an:
Upper
Lower
Barrel
Lower parts kit
Gas block and tube
Trigger
Front hand rails
Stock
Muzzle break
What am I missing?
I think I know the Upper and the Lower I am going to get.
Lower parts kit is easy to choose
I think I know the brake I am going to buy.
Front rails, found a great one.

Under normal circumstances, you could do it for probably a bit under a grand, but I'm guessing prices have gone up and parts may be hard to find with the craziness going on.

Make sure buffer/spring/tube are all the same type (carbine, rifle, etc) and make sure they match your stock (milspec or commercial- the dimensions are slightly different.)
Oh and make sure somewhere in there you have an egg plate or you won't be able to install the tube and stock!

Nice, now you need a SIG P226 Legion to match!
Don't get me started. I was about a day away from buying the optic equipped legion 229 until I decided I didn't want to spend that kind of money on a handgun with a subpar red dot.

The 229 itself is a fine handgun but I get your point for sure.

Goes between the tube itself and the ring on the lower receiver you screw the tube into.

Pick up a magnetic tray and you'll be less likely to lose parts.
Amazon has good books with pictures on a step by step build process.
Then you'll need to buy or borrow the tools to assemble..

End plate. O believe if you buy a buffer tube assembly kit it will come with it.

Should.
I always called it an egg plate cause it kinda looks like an egg! Generic standard ones at least.

Look into the AR-14, Its' a little less.

I can put a lower together in 20 minutes.
You'll need some tools...don't hammer the trigger guard or mag catch pin. Press then in a c clamp or vise grips. Have a razor blade or something sturdy and thin for takedown detents.
Larue is a hell of a trigger for $80.

I actually have all the tools for the lower, and most for the upper. If you were closer we could put it together in no time.
I usually just do a complete upper minus bcg now. Lots of great options. JSE surplus even does some custom ones. Palmetto premium bcg is all you need for a reliable build, but a ton of sexy options out there like sharps, etc.

I thought I remember that you were from the Buffalo area,,,,If you are and you want to build one,,,,,I will help you choose the parts or we all will. Once you have all the parts.... you drive over and we will throw it together in an hour. Im 1 hour from Buffalo. You build and I will guide you with my superior technical AR skills.Use my tools
Hell of an offer
Get aero shell for the upper receiver threads when installing the barrel nut. A little goes a long way so a small jar is plenty.
You need a torque wrench to set it to manufacturer spec but need to “season” the threads before going to full torque. As an example if barrel manuf recommends 30 ft pounds your first torque is to 10. Then back off/ loosen the nut. Repeat at 20 then back off. Then torque to final value.

If you don't want to build an upper,
Just get a stripped lower, a lower parts kit you like, perhaps an upgraded trigger, put that together.
Then you can piece together Everything else or just buy a full kit and changes things later.
You can pick whatever furniture you like, any various types of uppers, different lengths, different rail styles, different barrel lengths etc..
For $1000 you can do quite well at palmetto State.
Buy any random stripped lower, a lower parts kit then choose the furniture you want etc. You can have an optic, sling, etc easily for $1000.
Just my .02 cents.
I admit I'll probably never have anything like a BCM or Daniel defense at least until my kids are grown and gone.
For a 1000 budget I would probably do something like this
Or you can go a cheaper route and get a rifle kit like this and have plenty left in you budget to add optics, buy more mags, change or replace specific parts etc..
