X2 That and good optics IMO can make any AR a VERY GOOD AR.

Son just bought a 6 ARC upper from Bear creek. It shoots the factory 108’s less than an inch. Is on sale for $250.
I’m ordering one too.

Primary arms is a good lace to start they often have sales like a few weeks ago where they had stripped lowers for 27$ the 4 I bought all look good

Lots of options from just buying a complete lower and slapping a complaint upper on it or buying a pile of parts and putting them all together which isn’t all that hard and doesn't require a lot of knowledge or even a lot of tools most of us don’t already have

Palmetto state armory
Classic firearms

Lots of choices and it can be done really cheap the one I just finished was only 274 from the stripped lower and parts kit for same to the complete 10 inch 450 bushmaster upper, yes it’s a AR pistol for use in the shotgun zone here in MN

I could have made it a carbine or rifle for close to the same price depending on the stock i chose

Buy a stripped lower, watch a few YouTube videos and put it together. Then buy a upper from BCA and you have less than 400.00 in it.

You can get a BCA complete for $375. Right side charging if you want.

Save your money and buy a complete one. If you don't shoot much, no need to buy all the tools.

Ok Thanks guys, I may as well buy a complete

CBC Industry

Yep.
