That would be great! Let me know if he has any AR's he like to sell, or even better, some parts so that I can build mine.

You're right, I guess I'm just getting frustrated. I know that I could clear a huge profit from everything that I have so far, but I'm not sure if I want to do that. You guys know how long I've wanted my own AR, so to be honest, I'm not in a rush to get rid of my lower. It may take a long time for me to complete this build, but at least I already have the important parts (LaRue should be shipping me my stripped upper next week).

If you can afford it, cancel and get an rguns upper.. $500 for a complete upper with bcg, charging handle, etc

I'm just busting your balls man. Don't make any sudden moves. It'll all calm down eventually. It always does. And if not you can sell the stuff for a good profit down the road.

Hmm... is it a decent quality upper? I've never heard of them before.

On their site now and I see so many different barrels, I don't know where to begin. May not be able to do $500ish though because my semester just started and I have to buy books for 7 classes... that's going to be super expensive.

Buy used books!

I know lol

And I think you guys are right, the best thing for me to do right now is just calm down and wait for this to blow over. I don't have much cash right now and I'm not about to put all of this on a credit card. Plus getting everything now might force me to buy parts I don't necessarily want. I've been dreaming of building a really really nice AR for a long time, so I shouldn't rush myself.

Good plan, although I'd still try and find mags and ammo

Well I still have those mag orders out there and from what I have heard, they are close to fulfillment.

I'll need to save some cash for ammo, but I plan on stocking up on at least 2,000 rounds, maybe more if I can afford it.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone here would happen to know where I can get my saiga 12 cerakoted or duracoated? Or can I get it powder coated? Anyone know what's a good coating I can put on it? Just got it converted and went with the welding route. Only place I found was in Easton and that a little far from hatfield where I live.

brian, may wanna jump on this:

Looks like I missed it for the major parts...

What I thought were new toys.

What it turned out to be (apparently two of my three items are backordered :( )

On the bright side, they gave me a dry rub and a pretty cool bottle opener lol

Nice!

Dave, any idea where I can get my hands on a lower parts kit? Doesn't have to come with a trigger, as I have decided to put in an SSA once they stop gouging by $30

xxxxxxxxxxx

WOW.. talk about a price gouge.. lol

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Well seeing as how this is my FIRST build of an AR and I am still LEARNING about it's different components and their respective prices, it's possible to say that I might be a bit inexperienced when it comes to knowing prices vs quality. And given the amount of gouging going on right now, I wasn't wrong to think that that price was a little high, especially since I don't have 8 years of experience telling me how much these things should cost... :roll:

As for paying $200+ for a TRIGGER, I did my research on Geissele and every single thing that I have found has been positive, therefor I am willing to spend the money on a quality part.

Anyway, I did some more research on J&T and found some pretty solid reviews, so I placed an order.

Thank you for the link.

Yeah my uncle wont sell any lol, went to french creek today, no 9mm no .45 no 5.56 basically anything good was gone, I rented a .22 wanna be AR and put 150 rounds down range

^That's too bad... thanks for trying though!!!
