Part Selection Double Check

supersquirel500 · July 25, 2016, 10:00 PM

Due to this being my first AR I'd like to be double checked by people more experienced in this field than I am.
For this thread I'm asking that the trivial matters such as barrel length, M-lok vs keymod, and other choices be left out. I'm asking if I were to order these 4 parts and put them together as instructed would I have a fully functioning rifle?

Thank you for your time and I really do appreciate your feedback if I got something wrong.

Upper
BCG
Charging Handle
Lower

Again, thanks for helping a newbie

Welcome to the forum. Yes, those 4 parts will give you a functioning AR, but with the upper and lower out of stock, you will probably be waiting a while.

For a first AR, I usually recommend buying a rifle complete. That way, you are up and running, and you learn about what you have and how it works, build your own the second time around. If you want to choose furniture, look at something like the Aero OEM rifle sold by Brownells, no forearm or stock so you can choose for yourself.
