Like what Niche79 just got.
It's all about how much $$$ you want to spend.

Also there is the build your own route (semi-auto only of course).
It not hard to build one (IMO).

I built an AR-15 earlier this year.
It was easy and it was awesome to build it exactly the way I wanted it.
Of course I had to be different....

I like that man, what did a rig like that run?

Meulen · 10-08-2014, 08:43 AM

Nice build Vabam! Love the Noveske lower!

Isamu, I built one last year. Unfortunately, things were scarce when I built it and I didn't get everything I wanted. The best part is I can always add it later! If I could do full auto or burst I definitely would, along with some silencer options. Lucky for me I live in Illinois and those things will not be an option.

I just stocked up on a bunch of stuff. Bought some 9mm and .223 in bulk. This Ebola thing has us a little on edge. Wanted to be ready. I also went through my bow and bought some new arrows. It's been waaaaaay too long since I have shot it. I'll upload some pics later.

Red dot? Magnification?

I use the Vortex Strikefire, and I've been very pleased with it from a bang-for-the-buck standpoint.

Well, the Strikefire comes with a 2x magnifier, which is more than enough for me. It's screw-on, not flip-up. HOWEVER, I THINK there is a flip-up version...

Thanks!

Bought all the parts over time.
Rough guesstimation is around $2700 with out the optics.
The optics and mounts are another $2600.
What are hard to see in the pics are the Noveske barrel that came with a head spaced bolt, Wilson Combat drop in trigger, and JP Silent Captured Spring buffer.

If I wasn't into guns I could easily have enough money for that S30 (first gen Zs) RB26DETT engine swap project I want to do.
Or have a GT-R.

(For the those who might not know)
Full auto/bust builds are cost prohibitive IMO. The 1986 FOPA banned new sales of full auto and burst fire weapons to civilians after the act was enacted. All full auto/burst weapons made before then were grandfathered. This means AR-15 full auto and bust sears are $15K+ and that’s if you can find one. Most owners are holding on to their auto sears. Oh and don’t forget the NFA paper work too.

Yes, you can own a full auto or burst fire weapon (except in states like IL

) but you’ll pay and arm and a leg to do so. I don’t know about you but, my finger can pull a trigger pretty fast.

SouthArk370Z · 10-09-2014, 07:05 AM

If you have an old-style ("pre-ban") M-16/AR-15 lower, conversion to auto/burst is pretty easy. Replace the bolt carrier and the trigger/selector group, then add a drop-in sear. You can find details on the Web.

The gobmint considers the sear alone to be a "machine gun" so you will need a license to legally possess/use that part, but, last time I looked, all the other parts are legal. But it's been a while since I looked, so YMMV.
