Welcome to /v/guns! This is the home of firearms enthusiasts on Voat. If you're into things that go boom, this is the place for you!
RELATED SUBVERSES
The posting rules are below. Violations of any of these rules will result in post removal. Repeated, systematic violations by one user will result in a ban if all of the moderators agree that it's needed. If you see violations of rules 3 or 4 occurring, don't hesitate to mail a screenshot of the activity to the moderation team.
Moderators are held to a higher standard on this subverse and the rules that they must follow are also posted below. If a moderator is acting against the moderator rules, take a screenshot and message it to the head moderator, @Thjoth. Repeated violations will result in their removal from the mod team.
SUBSCRIBER RULES:
-
All content MUST be related directly to firearms. For our purposes, a firearm is defined as a device that uses rapidly expanding gases to launch a projectile. Size doesn't matter, so this includes everything from your .22 to a naval cannon.
-
No memes, image macros, or reaction gifs are allowed.
-
Violation of the global user agreement will not be tolerated.
-
Repeated personal attacks upon or harassment of a user across different unrelated threads will not be tolerated.
-
No spam. If you want to promote your personal site, blog, or company, then make sure you participate EXTENSIVELY in other posts as part of this community. The account of the Tennessee Arms Company on Reddit is a good example of commercial members of the industry participating in a community in a way that betters both the community and the company.
-
All politics posts must go into the stickied politics megathread, which is refreshed on the 1st of every month. If something big is happening (eg. the M855 ban), the moderators will create a specific megathread for that event at their discretion.
MODERATOR RULES:
-
Moderators will follow all normal rules.
-
When removing a post or comment, moderators will copy and paste the rule violation that led to the removal in a reply.
-
Moderators will not take any action whatsoever if a rule from the sidebar is not violated.
-
Bans must be discussed among moderators. A single moderator cannot ban someone without talking to the other moderators.
-
Moderators will maintain active accounts. Inactive moderators who haven't posted or spoken with another moderator in 30 days will be removed.
-
Moderators will not personally attack, harass, or otherwise be complete dicks to members, either during normal conversation or while carrying out their duties.

Pass on that one. I'd say you're better off getting a stripped lower and then a lower kit from Palmetto State Armory and then finding an upper you like.
[–] HighEnergyLife 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
Get the upper from palmetto too

Go to the hardware store and buy a 80℅ AK instead it comes with the stock. https://thechive.com/2012/12/06/apparently-you-can-make-an-ak-47-out-of-just-about-anything-25-photos/

That is pretty cool

You want a 5.56 chambered barrel, not .223, so you can shoot both calibers. The kit looks expensive, and I have a feeling that prices are jacked up because of the holidays (or high demand).
When I built my AR-15, I purchased blemished (meaning that there are some cosmetic errors that don't affect function) upper and lower kits online, and a 100% stripped lower from my local gun store; all for less than $400 all together.
Edit: I recommend this one, https://www.80-lower.com/products/ar-15-build-kit-5-56mm-nato-16-melonite-barrel-classic-a2-handguard-w-80-lower-1-7-twist/
You can swap the handguards for the M-LOK version later, and customize picatinni rails on it for whatever accessories you want, such as a bipod, or a laser, et cetera.
Edit 2: M-LOK handguards, http://www.tomstactical.com/image/cache/catalog/apra400105c_ar15_quantum_15in_mlok_handguard_black_2-1000x1000.jpg

That barrel is chambered in 223 wylde, it shoot both and more accurately than a regular 5.56 barrel. Supposedly anyway. https://americanweaponscomponents.com/clearing-the-caliber-confusion-223-wylde-vs-5-56-nato

Well, I learned something new.
But the kit that he mentioned is still too expensive.

Hello fellow Voat revolutionaries! I need assistance in trafficking assault weapon modifications across state lines into juristictions where they are classified as illegal firearms. Shoot me an email at notafed@batf.gov brothers!
[–] hikedelics 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
You can do much cheaper. I'd start with a PSA rifle kit, or an AR15 "pistol" kit if you want essentially an SBR. You can have 90% of the gun sent to your door,and just pick up a stripped lower from you LGS for $50. Lots of options to choose from.

Nice website. I've been out of this kind of thing so long I'm really out of tough with what's out there. I didn't even know there were kits....ugh. I'll be going through this, and I need to step foot in one of the gun shops here and look around too.
[–] AR47 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
I use CBC industry uppers. Much cheaper and far faster delivery.
See if there is a blimished kit. You can save around 250 on them.
I got that when I made my first with 80%. You need more help just message me.
