place to buy an AR

[A1Uni]

Del Ton Echo 316, new in box, $935.00 plus tax and MSP fee. One on the shelf, comes with a nice hard case.

Yup, you may find them a bit cheaper online, but that is before shipping and transfer fees.

I also have a S&W M&P 15 coming in with quad rails, but it is substantially more expensive.

I would tell you to look for a couple stripped lowers right now, get the paperwork done right now while Maryland makes up its mind on what they are going to do. I can't say that I would spend even 900 on a del-ton that's more like a $600 rifle. If you buy the lowers now either keep an eye out for palmetto state armory or the seekins lowers then you can keep an eye out on the web for some spikes tactical uppers. The craziness will finally calm down at some point and as long as you have the lowers already registered here in MD then you are good to go. Look online for an FFL that is willing to do transfers without tearing you a new one then sit back in by July MSP may have your paperwork back.

In early December the price for a Bushmaster, Rock River, Spikes Tactical, etc. stripped lower was $150-$200. In the weeks following December 14th the price soared to $600 on average with a few even approaching $1000 (totally crazy). In recent weeks the price has come down again and you can likely get one in the $200 range. I just checked GunBroker and there are several in that range. Most dealers will charge $30-$50 for the transfer. It's easy to do it that way....

If you truly want a custom AR-15 I would build it yourself. Once you have the lower you can start looking at barrel configurations, stocks - along with which handguard you like. From there move on to sights and optics. In the end you can get a better rifle made doing it yourself. Most likely saving $$$$$ in the end as well.

Are you still looking for an AR?

Engage Armament in Rockville is taking orders for their own custom built AR's. They are around 1600 bucks but use alll top shelf parts.

The gun rack in burtonsville has a few

Thanks for all the advices on here, I have decided to build my own. Waiting on the paper work for a strpipped lower paid $100 more than what it is going for right now. But hey, it wasn't some cheap'o brand.

 

[rsj1231]

Not a bad choice, and was fun for more to put together. I have under $1k in it and have had 0 problems. I'm using a PSA upper and lower, and Joebob's BCG for the main parts.

I realize this is the worst possible time to try to build/buy an ar15, and to be honest, I never really had a desire to own one until the liberals decided to try to infringe on that freedom.

That being said, I'd like to purchase one before I no longer can legally. Even though I know very little about it, I'm leaning toward building one myself rather than buying. It seems more fun, and I figure that way I'll learn a lot more about it as I go.

Does anyone know what I could realistically look to spend in today's climate for decent quality parts to build it myself?

I'm also thinking of backordering a stripped lower now (since any available ones seem to be double or triple normal pricing), and while I'm waiting for the backorder to be filled I could gradually acquire all the other components. If I understand the proposed laws correctly, as long as I've got it ordered before 10/1/13, I should be ok.

Any and all advice on building my own would be greatly appreciated - whether it's links on this forum or elsewhere. Thanks!

I was at Freedom Armory today to do some shooting and they had around eight M&P-15 Tactical on the wall that looked like they were for sale. I do not know what they were priced but a month ago they were $1600.

 

[INMY01TA]

On Target had two AR's when I was in there last Wed. Couldn't see the price on them tho.

 

[twowheelsforever]

Thanks for the replies on places with with AR's in stock. I think I'm pretty committed to building one myself (unless someone wants to talk me out of it), so I'm primarily looking for info on the best way to build one under the current conditions.

Thanks again.

Depends on what you want to spend. We could work out a deal.

 

[Justin B.C.]

I have managed to piece together an AR with a Seekins lower, PSA upper and BCG from JoeBobOutfitters for right at $1200 (includes Magpul furniture and a Diamond rear sight). Just keep scanning the threads here for equipment as it pops up. Also, the HBAR that Engage is building (someone referenced it earlier in the thread) is pretty badass, and I ordered one after building my own AR.

 

[pleasant1911]

accurate pawns had some, or still has them on display, as of last week.

 

[SnuffyJD]

Accurate still has a few, just picked up a Troy Carbine from them today. On Target had a few by PSA hanging on the wall as well.

Been watching gun broker on and off for the past two hours. Seems like most over $1,000 are not selling. Seeing a good amount going for under a 1,000. About time prices come back to reality.

Check out The Gun Shop on Eastern Avenue. Fair prices that arent gouged like another place near by.

+1 for Engage. Top notch HBAR's, built by top notch guys.
