RE: How accurate: Bushmaster Varminter .223
If you already have one, then all you have to do is buy the new Uppers for the different ARs that you like. that;s one way to save on building vs buying.

no you will not have a AR for 625 the stripped lower is just that stripped nothing but the housing
then you must buy the parts for the lower trigger springs all that stuff for the lower to work by the time you buy everything you safe maybe 100 bucks or so. I have talked to no one that is not a gunsmith that built one to work perfectly just buy the gun complete Also i know a few guys that wont to do this so not to go through the ffl transfer you must go through a ffl for the lower. you will not get around it unless you buy a privet sale gun ORIGINAL: #40Fan On AR15.com there is a guy selling stipped lowers for $100. If you order from him and put ARFCOM in the messages, shipping will be Free. On Mapartsinc.com, they sell a Varmint upper in 18, 20, and 24" with a butt stock, trigger group, all pins needed and bolt for $525. The last time that I ordered the 24" upper from them, it took a while for them to get it in and ship though. So if you can mind the wait, you have a $625 AR that shoots extremely good! If your friend will transfer the lower to you for free, then that will help with additional costs. |

Sorry that you can't seem to find anyone that was competent enough to put and AR15 together and have it function properly. Be the first one and show them how easy it is. |
RE: How accurate: Bushmaster Varminter .223
I find that surprising too. I know quite a few people that have put their lower kits together without a problem. Takes me about 20-30 minutes. The other advantage is that you can get the trigger group and pistol grip that you want now and not have to replace them later. Don't let these guys scare you. You can use the extra money for your optics!

i could see you doing it if your going with the best parts and what you need not just a stock kit

RE: How accurate: Bushmaster Varminter .223
I built mine. CMMG lower, RRA lower parts kit, RRA two-stage NM trigger, Hogue grip, Prince50 mag lock kit. The lower took me about an hour, maybe a little longer, to assemble using directions on AR15.com. I topped it off with a Bushmaster Varminter upper and its a SHOOTER!! I've only shot it about 20 times, but its a true 1/2" rifle, I love it. Total cost was about $1200.;)
