Buy a complete upper and complete lower, no tools required.

See my thread - http://vagunforum.net/question-and-answ ... 25041.html

Got some more parts from Amazon.

Good luck.

I actually have a Vortex Spitfire 1x Prism scope coming in the mail today, got it for $150 on sale from PSA a few days before Christmas. I also picked up some new parts for the AR in the past few months. http://i.imgur.com/wLEuBLNh.jpg These went on in November Strike Industries Ultimate Dust Cover ...

Yea, Elite is a great range.

I haven't been lately though since I've been shooting outside on steel down in NC.

I forgot to come back. NOVA in Herndon was $30 for a AR lower, plus $2 for the background check.

Also, I called Charlie with P3 first and he moved to West Virginia so he no longer does FFL transfers for VA.

Here you guys go.

It's super simple. First try you'll fire a few rounds to get the hang of it. Then it's full auto goodness after that. Keeping it on target takes practice though, you have to apply forward pressure to the front of the rifle which makes it a little awkward at first. You definitely want a forward grip ...

The gun shot great. My buddy who owned the farm has a bunch of ARs that he built and he was really impressed with the overall gun and was shocked at how little I spent on it.

He also had his AR with a bump-fire stock, it was bananas. I'm working on a video.

I've only bought two firearms so far, my VP9 and the lower for my AR. I used my VA license and voter registration card for both.

Next up, the Vortex Strikefire. Get the Red dot only version, as I found that on the Red/Green dot version, the red dot isn't bright enough to see in the daylight. https://www.primaryarms.com/Vortex_StrikeFire_II_Bright_Red_Dot_p/sf-br-503.htm At least with green lasers they are gaining popularity ...

7.5lb with 20rds of .223 in the mag.



I'm going shooting this weekend in NC, I have a set of FDE Magpul MBUS sights in the mail from Amazon that will be at the in-laws' house when we get there. I can't wait!

Oh, I had weighed it that way too and it came out the same.

FWIW, the 15" quad rail is 20oz (1.5lb). The high end rails appear to be from 10-14oz depending on length. So it's really not too bad considering.

Our bathroom scale says it's 6.5lb. I just set it down on the scale on the buttstock.

It does feel pretty heavy though...

It will eventually get a nicer rail, I just couldn't swing it right now.

So, I have a question for you... 1.) Any more pics? :lovegunporn: LOL 2.) why did you do this? I under stand the use... but why buy a complete upper and a complete lower and not just a complete AR? I ask, mostly because people build ARs for a few reasons, but typically it its a purpose built system...

I ended up going with a complete upper from Ando Corp Ind after seeing their thread over at ARF . Jason was super helpful over email yesterday and the phone today. He said to go Magpul the FSB has the gas block integrated. Because of that I just went with their quad rail. I'll see how I like it and ...

If you want to read up, here are Virginia's laws regarding transporting firearms from the State Police website: http://www.vsp.state.va.us/Firearms_Transporting.shtm FWIW, (and for general knowledge) this part is particularly important for those of us without a CCW: As of July 1, 2010, a concealed h...
