TGO AR Build Deals

[TripleDigitRide]

Since we will soon have a fairly large number of members in the process of building ARs, I thought it may be a good idea to start a thread where everyone can post any good deals on components. While we are about to stimulate the economy, maybe we can save a few bucks here and there.

I'm signed up for their daily emails.  Can't beat their quality, prices, and customer service.  I am especially sensitive to that after taking my Spike's Tactical to the range today and see that it STILL doesn't function properly.   :wall: 

Joe Bob Outfitters has some decent deals and they are a TGO vendor.  I'm not sure if they started doing the free shipping for TGO members again or not.

I'd also check AIM as well, they usually have good pricing on Magpul equipment and were doing free shipping on magpul products. Not sure if they still do free shipping but it doesn't hurt to check them out.

JoeBob has always had free shipping over $90 but dropped the 5% discount.  They have excellent pricing on Magpul goodies and other necessities.

For what it's worth since I haven't read the article yet, American Rifleman Nov issue has an article on building an AR.

Found good pricing and stuff in stock back during the last crisis at www.dsgarms.com

They came through for me, so I use them when I can Edited October 21, 2013 by Batman

It is more of a "This is why I chose the parts I did," as opposed to "This is how you build one."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have always been pleased with PSA.

I'm looking for the best deal I can find on a complete upper minus BCG. I want a 16" flat top, heavy barrel (bull barrel would be fine, too) with a dual rail handguard, chrome lined chamber & bore. I plan on adding Magpul BUSs, and maybe their angled foregrip. I broke my left elbow joint when I was in high school and never regained full motion. Their angled foregrip looks it would be really comfy for me. A rdd dot will be further down the line.

Once I get that AR built out, I'll be building a 20" varmint gun.

I've been looking at all the standard sites: RockRiverArms, model1sales, PSA, JoeBob, etc. When in stock, they all seem about the same money. Any recommendations?

PSA Daily deal email. For the money, it's tough to beat them.

+1 on checking PSA daily deals, I have snagged a few deals from them lately. I bought a complete upper from RGuns last year and the quality and price were good and it shipped fast. Surplus Ammo had some decent prices on complete uppers also, I have never dealt with them.

[Emperor_Po]

Primary arms has some decent deals occasionally as well. I've signed up for most of the email lists mentioned. Often check slickguns.

How about a few links to these sites yall are talking about?

I'll amen this, especially their "blem" uppers. I've gotten several from there for $50, the only thing that classified them as a blem was the fact they didn't get stamped with the PSA logo. I've never received one that I would consider an actual blem, and I'm rather picky.

FWIW, this quad rail is super sturdy, light, and made in the U.S.
I ordered one a few weeks back and I'm really impressed. I have $200 Troy rails that I'm not as impressed with per dollar spent. Before you say it, no it's not for airsoft

I also have a set of UTG rails that I've been very impressed with for the price. Their different than the ones posted above, but were about $110 for 11 inch free floaters that are solid.

PSA www.palmettostatearmory.com - Expect a long shipping wait, even for in stock items. Generally good/decent quality. Customer service, I've never had any problems. But during the madness there were some stories....

Prices are good.

 

DSG www.dsgarms.com - good deals, lots of options. Can be difficult to discern quickly what is and isn't in stock - gotta click on stuff to find out.

 

Primary Arms www.primaryarms.com - if you need a budget optic (aimpoint clone) theirs is awesome. I've got their 3x Compact, it's been great for a couple of years now. They've got some sweet sales from time to time as well. Jump on deals quick, they don't last long. They've also got top end optics, uppers and parts.

 

Joe Bob www.joeboboutfitters.com - we should all know em, they're a vendor! Great deals and service. Check their sale/closeout bin. Free shipping over $90. Don't forget to grab a vinyl sticker with your order! (check the JoeBobGear page)

 

SlickGuns www.slickguns.com - not really a retailer, it's a site where people post deals. Similar to Slick Deals, etc. Some are deals, some aren't. Read the comments on the deals. Fairly active and involved community.

 

PK Firearms www.pkfirearms.com - parts, uppers, etc. They didn't gouge during the madness, they did restrict orders. If it's on the site, it's pretty much a sure bet it's in stock.

 

ARPARTSFINDER - http://www.arpartsfinder.com/ - crawler that searches whole bunches of places for in stock parts, etc. Was developed during the madness. I used this with success to buy a BCM upper during the insanity - was just trying to finish a build. bingo. done. Has some lag from when items go in stock and when the site catches them.

[KKing]

Can I make a suggestion? I believe there needs to be links posted to help a would be buyer instead of a long lists of websites. Just a thought. Like this for a $80 BCG from PSA...
