Hello,
Looking for input on the AR build i am completing. Started this sort of on a budget (and apart from getting hosed on the lower am doing well). I have about a dozen registered weapons and if it werent for 281 probably wouldn't have bought another now or in the near future; but, time is of the essence. I have always like the AR platform and have a Colt from many years ago that began life as an HBAR, but what the heck. Basically will be a SHTF/home defense/zombie outbreak/plinker (yes, I know, a disaster from the get-go). Looking for suggestions on rail accessories and optics, and since the build hasn't commenced yet and I can swap parts/return/resell suggestions on where to go different.
DPMS stripped lower (got hosed in Annapolis, still waiting, bona fide panic buy for $399)
Complete 16" carbine upper from PK Firearms with DD quad rails installed
PSA mil spec tube with MOE adjustable stock
CMMG LPK
I can either shell out about another 350 now for other parts, or that much less the price of another stripped lower (which from what I see here would probably be from PSA and go through a different FFL). I have a bunch of 20 rounders, but would like to get some 30s, and I need a rear sight. Beyond that, another stripped or suggest some rail accessories (looking at forward grip and like the idea of a laser), I want optics (but cant justify 400+ for an EOTech), and i am not averse to upgrading current parts....
So any suggestions from collective wisdom? (I am starting to lean towards getting as many stripped lowers as I can as fast as I can)
