My AR Build thread

[Il Duce]

Well today my girlfriend and I went to the RK gun show in East Ridge since she had never been to a gun show and it had to have been 13 years since I have been to one and we had some time to waste. We get to looking around at all the goodies and I stopped by Top Guns booth out of Cookeville and picked up a Double Star stripped lower for 118 OTD. I hope I didnt get ripped off or get a bad brand. Anyways, Im gonna update this thread as I go along. Below is the parts left I still need to get. The best part is my gf said she will be buying most the parts. Can I say KEEPER!

Yep, she's a keeper, and so is the lower.

[Guest JHatmaker]

Doublestar is just fine, no worries at all.

[Il Duce]

ok good. i cant believe how hard it was to find a stripped lower. he was the only person selling.

[orientalexpress]

The only thing I don't like about double star is that if you don't buy DS upper the finish probably won't match. They're usually semiglossy and most other AR finishes are matte.

$118.00 sounds like a pretty fair price, too.

Was the vendor set up with coffins as a display? There was a company at the Murfreesboro show that sold a bunch of AR stuff, and had coffins as their display tables. Might be the same guys.

[Il Duce]

yup that was them

[Il Duce]

yeah this one is semigloss now that you mention it. once i get the upper ill see how they match and if its off ill hit it with a matte duracoat

[Guest Fwdftw]

Bcm uppers are glossy

[Garufa]

DS uppers are semi-glossy as are Del-Tons (that is the upper receiver part, not the barrel). Those are the only ones I have experience with and both are just fine.

[Murgatroy]

Same guys were here in Knoxville, with the Coffins. They seemed pretty decent, both in price and attitude.

[Il Duce]

yeah they were def nice guys. he had a DS lower parts kit for 60 that I wish I had the money for but oh well.

The Del Ton I have is matte as is my buddies, as are all the complete DelTon Rifles I've seen.

You probably dealt with Adam West (we call him Batman) he's a good dude. They're based out of Cookeville

[Guest Jcochran88]

what is wrong with stag arms?

Nothing in my opinion.

[Guest Fwdftw]

Read the chart posted

[Il Duce]

i looked at it and didnt know what the crap i was looking at lol

[Guest Jcochran88]

I did read the chart! For most people the stag is fine. All they are going to do is plink with it any way. I see no reason to spend the extra $ for anything else.
