Can you record a build process for us first timers? I'd love to see how you assemble and explaining some common errors or infield faults and root causes.
@@hobbylife10that’s if you don’t care about monetization..there are plenty of build tutorials on UA-cam. That’s how I taught my self how to build..and have never bought an AR complete.
Mine was right at $1,450 with no optic. Upper:BCM ELW MK2 BFH, BCG: Free with BCM upper, Muzzle: Surefire 3 prong flash hider, Lower: M4E1 Aero Blem Lower Parts: Sionics enhanced LPK, Stock: Magpul SL with springco spring+buffer, Grip, Magpul K2, Charging Handle: Radian Raptor Blem with talon safety, Mags: 3 magpul mags, Trigger: Geissele SSA-E Lot of parts grabbed them during their holiday sales so got a decent discount.
@@crazypersonlol34 Well I never said mine was a budget build. Name a higher end fully assembled rifle for $1,500 (After tax, background, shipping and FFL fees) because my price above is all after tax, shipping, ffl fees and background check fees. Must have the same or similar specs & quality as the brands listed above. Because you are going to be hard pressed to do that with out sacrificing something. Just one example of a popular brand - Daniel Defenses cheapest rifle is $1,993 before tax, ffl, background and shipping. So in my state thats 2,347 out the door. Still $897 dollars more then what I spent for same of better specs in specific areas of the fully assembled rifle.
Shorter content with increased quality is always better than lower quality longer content. Seems like all the guntuber’s these days those are cranking out insane quality stuff. GarandThumb, Brandon Herrera, etc.
i did mine for just under 1400. the gun was 700 and the optic, sling , optic mount, and light made the rest. but i shopped around and bought almost everything at half price (during summer, no black friday deals). stag lower, DD furniture, BA barrel, strike jcomp, local upper, nickel boran bcg fail zero, vortex lpvo, wps sling, inforce light. all great quality stuff.
Aero sells a lot of builder kits (upper, lower, handguard) with cool cerakote jobs including a bunch of camo ones. They seem to have new ones every few months. IMO aero upper/lower/handguards are pretty excellent, pair it with a high quality BCG and a good barrel. You can cerakote or paint your own parts but itll probably be cheaper and easier to buy a build kit in the pattern you like.
@@p51mustang24 yup, I built a Rattlesnake camo aero for my best friend as a wedding gift. Best camoflauge I've ever seen. Want one for myself. Can't beat the value
Another popular “budget build” with more features such as ambi Sharps live wire ambi lower Vltor mur upper Vltor buffer kit Geissele g2c trigger Giessele upper and lower parts kits Sionics bcg Magpul str stock and k2 grip Geissele hand guard (any style) Roscoe blood line barrel Radian charging handle Slr gas block And any muzzle device Would be under 2k and you have a full ambi gun with a better hand guard.
Light should be a necessity, I love the ergonomics of the Baldr SOL + ODA Combo, under $200 shipped for an incredible light system, best value light right now imo
I agree with you on the price point. Cheap and budget are 2 different things. My advice to people who are getting into self reliance, buy a glock, then a cheap rifle to start practicing, and then immediately begin saving to build or buy a budget friendly, quality rifle you can trust. A complete bcm upper and an aero lower with an optic and light is about $1,500 more or less.
1 complete Aero Precision lower (on sale $200-230) 2 complete Geissle Super duty upper (on sale $900-999) 3 PSA's Vortex Strike Eagle Gen 2 1-8 LPVO and mount deal ($325 shipped) Done
I prefer the slings from Warrior Poet Society. They are awesome. Part of the sling has a little bungy to it, but not overdone, which makes switching much easier. I no longer have to swim out of my sling to change shooting hands.
800 ish for a complete BCM upper, with ambi charging handle. 400 ish for lower. Aero m4e1, larue mbt2s, Magpul K2 grip, BCMs A5 buffer "recoil mitigation system", bcm sopmod stock. 1200ish without an optic, probably another 150-200 less if you use milspec trigger and buffer
I only buy parts during major holiday sales. That’s how you build cheaper high end AR15 builds. It takes longer but once you already have 1 good solid AR15, the other builds are just for fun so they can take longer to build. If you have military discount or any type of first responder discount, parts get even cheaper because some companies will let you stack discounts.
If my life’s on the line, it’s worth putting good parts in. Took my time 3yr build part by part: ~ $50-100 per month till I got it where I wanted it. Too slow, but done now
This is nearly exactly how i built out may main ar. Bcm upper receiver Bcm mk2 charging handle Microbest chrome bcg Fn button cut barrel Expo arms gas block/tube Breekarms opmod brake Midwest handguard Sharps livewire lower Bcm lpk Bcm buffer tube kit/expo h2 Magpul stock Pa slx 1x Streamlight hlx pro All in was around 1700 and it shoots great.
BCM MCMR upper on an Aero precision complete lower with ALG trigger and B5 systems stock - running a Gen II 1x cyclops too! ( the Aimpoint PRO seemed too weighty) =$1,700 total
I got a complete aero lower with a DD quad rail upper 16", came with Magpul furniture and a wilson combat trigger for 750$ used. Added a surefire scout light and has a fixed front sight post and a metal DD rear sight. Still not sure what optic I will marry to the setup, currently playing around w a 3x PA prism, holosun 512c, just irons and a few other things. Absolutely love this gun. Perfect SHTF rifle. I am just conflicted on whether I want a 1x or a fixed 3x, or an LPVO
Bro keep up the awesome work....this is my new favorite channel as a newbie to this community. You got tons of valuable info and well thought out research to back it. Appreciate it all. Even the effort on the videos. You build just like i do even if it is my first one.
I always put the bulk of the build money into the barrel and bolt carrier. I pretty much always run top quality .223 Wylde barrels and Sharp's relia-bolt BCGs. PA optics are great quality. I run holosun 510Cs when I go holographic.
The best way to go about building your first rifle is to buy cheap and slowly upgrade as you are able to. Once experienced I would recommend saving up and then do a full custom build. This way you can find what you like and what you don’t like as well as how to go about building/specing one out
Alternatively, a complete BCM upper, complete psa lower (get the MOE and EPT trigger one for 140), BCM charging handle, surefire scout, sig Romeo5, mbus pro backup irons, sling of choice, and your total for all of that will still be under 1500. And you're actually getting a working weapon for under 1500, not just the bare bones firearm.
I built my budget AR for around $600. If I spent 1500 on it, it would be one sweet build. It's just about shopping around. An Aero Precision stripped lower is around 150, and a complete upper from Bear Creek Arsenal is around 275. It's been a solid build at the range and I get compliments on it all the time.
A budget build could have a $10,000 budget, or a $5000 budget, or a $1 budget. If you want a cheap build search for *cheap* builds. A budget can be anything
I got a custom lightweight upper build from my local gunsmith for $1,000, it has a 13.7” BA light (but non pencil) barrel, SOLGW pinned 3 prong NOX, PSA non-flat top 14” rail, Aero Forward Assist upper, and 2A lightweight BCG. Wilson Combat Blem Lower $50 White Label Armory LPK $40 Grip & stock $0 (traded parts) Total $1090 Flash light Valhalla Tactical ODA 18350 2/Modlite PH-V2 MBUIS Pro front and rear Holosun 503 ACSS & EOTech magnifier on Unity Fast/FTC mounts (traded for)
Really slick build with a quality budget! Thanks for putting the info together and links to discounts 🙌🏼 Now if I could only find the ammo to feed a build, I’m set haha
Your ejection pattern looks a little erratic. It could just be from the can, but you may want to check your ejector and extractor springs. Probably wouldn't hurt to change your gas rings too.
Pretty messed up clockbait to have a $3000 build as the video pic and then title it as $1500…would it be so difficult to post the video with the actual $1500 build as the header???
I have zero interest in any guns you have reviewed so far, but your videos are sooo good that you could be reviewing pickle jars and I would still be watching. Freakin nuts man. Keep it up
@@christophermitchell7925 gtf 😂 who cares about the paint job. He’s saying you can get the gun for that much. Obviously that is minus the additional accessories like the silencer and a paint job.
Man, that is incredible. I really wanna know about the Can because all the ones I’m looking at cost about what you paid for your whole bill really want a can
I built mine for around $400 to $500 and I have around 1500 to 2000 rounds thru her with zero issues. Minus the one time I put a hammer spring in backwards after a deep clean lol.
the best way to know what you want to build is getting a cheap rifle and then going to competitions and modifying as you go. after a full season of that you should invest in a rifle build worth, imo about 2k. I made the mistake of buying a 1300 dollar rifle, spending 800 bucks changing it for my need in competition and then just making my own for 2500. I wish someone would have told me different.
Dude , Looken Good, perfect match camo in that high desert environment. Rifle camo looks very good. Gotta cover that bright white face with a balaclava.
Great Build but if you're using a PA SLx 1x why would you need off set iron sights if the optic has etched reticles inside? I have 1 on my AR-15 with antiglare. And love it. Keep up the great job and be safe.
@@pth88 that’s cool man, the Iwi Zion is a bomb proof rifle and has been flawless for me, practical, durable, and reliability is better than Gucci rifles on Instagram where guys spend thousands of dollars on their rifle, take pictures of it, and then never shoot it. How you liking it so far? And what magnifier are you using, I just have the primary arms slx cyclops, no magnifier
Just a random thought that came to my mind watching this. Been getting into guns now for a decade and I remember people always said “buy a Colt” when getting into reliable AR15s. Do anybody even say that anymore?😂
Per Cloud Defensive’s own website: “To provide the highest level of supporting structure, this mount should be attached in a way that it does not have any portion hanging off the rail. If it hangs off the rail, it does run a risk of being bent under pressure.”
The light bar is what will bend not the tank of a light body. I’ve got one and there’s not shot the light will bend before that light bar but it’s a fair consideration
Top notch as always. I always laugh at the cost complaints. The same folks waste more than $1500 on cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, and sex every year. But complain about a $1500 rifle build… just accept that it’s not your priority. And keep your complaints to yourself.
how do you feel about people who hate on cassette triggers? I have been watching your channel for a while and you always recommend the trigger tech drop in triggers. I am currently running Geissele triggers on my builds.
I just bought a sig m400 tread and i was hoping you could do a video for a good civilian buildout for getting out of domestic attack situations. thanks!
Save your money, get a Del-Ton or PSA or Bushmaster upper with chrome lined barrel. 350-600 dollars. They'll last forever. DS arms chrome lined bcg w/ charging handle for 100.
you didnt deserve the snarky comment. i just spent $1600 on a ddm4v9 so i was just being a hater about you calling my budget "budget" lol i didnt even watch the video all the way through before i left it.@@GUNMENusa
It's a prism scope not a red dot. It's basically like a 1x acog which means eye relief is very short it would be back farther. Not as far forward as possible.
@@christophermitchell7925 Why are we having this conversation then? It doesn't matter what the website says because it's still usable past 3", although a bit suboptimal. Dude can do what he wants with his gear as long as he's proficient.
Ok, so here's a question about builds. Some folks talk about a "duty rated" or "battle rated" rifle, but what does that even really mean? If you use all mil-spec parts, made to the correct tolerances, using the correct materials, you have a mil-spec rifle. That, by definition, must be "duty rated" because it follows all the requirements to be issued to the military, hence mil-spec. Do I want an ambi safety? Yes. Do I want an ambi charging handle? Yes. Aside from personal preferences, am I really paying for vastly superior parts by spending more, am I paying for better QC, or am I just paying more for the hell of it? So I may pay more for a silent capture spring because I think it actually functions better than the original part. Triggers are obvious upgrades as they have objectively different pull weights, feels, etc.. But again, if everything on the rifle is properly mil-spec, there should be no real reason to say that you have anything less than a "duty rated" rifle. For me to care about a part, tell me you use a material that is stronger than the mil-spec. Tell me you made the part beefier to be more durable. Tell me you used a finish that has some clear advantage and no disadvantages over the proscribed mil-spec finish. Otherwise, mil-spec is mil-spec is good enough for duty use. Certainly good enough for weekly plinking or less.
I'm curious - if you were looking to acquire a SHTF rifle and money wasn't an object, would you be looking to have the entire rifle Mil-Spec? If say you had a rifle and you needed part replacement but your situation is reduced to scavenging for parts would it have been better for you to have a custom built or would it make no difference if you had a DDM4A1, or would that DD have parts that MUST be particular to that brand? Essentially, I want the best built rifle without being bound to any series of parts that would be hard to get. I figure that if I really want a SHTF rifle, it really should be built with that in mind, right?

Just a random thought that came to my mind watching this. Been getting into guns now for a decade and I remember people always said “buy a Colt” when getting into reliable AR15s. Do anybody even say that anymore?😂
Per Cloud Defensive’s own website: “To provide the highest level of supporting structure, this mount should be attached in a way that it does not have any portion hanging off the rail. If it hangs off the rail, it does run a risk of being bent under pressure.”
Do u not see the suppressor?????
The light bar is what will bend not the tank of a light body. I’ve got one and there’s not shot the light will bend before that light bar but it’s a fair consideration
Top notch as always. I always laugh at the cost complaints. The same folks waste more than $1500 on cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, and sex every year. But complain about a $1500 rifle build… just accept that it’s not your priority. And keep your complaints to yourself.

how do you feel about people who hate on cassette triggers? I have been watching your channel for a while and you always recommend the trigger tech drop in triggers. I am currently running Geissele triggers on my builds.
Geissele makes a fantastic trigger!! I would absolutely run geissele. I’ve just always loved triggertech.
What about a 13.7” barrel?
I find your videos and guns therapeutic lol. Keep up the great work!
I can't create an account on your website, it says that I need to endlessly do Captcha challenges.
Have you used anything from windham? Would love to see a review from you of one of their rifles!
I just bought a sig m400 tread and i was hoping you could do a video for a good civilian buildout for getting out of domestic attack situations. thanks!
Save your money, get a Del-Ton or PSA or Bushmaster upper with chrome lined barrel. 350-600 dollars. They'll last forever. DS arms chrome lined bcg w/ charging handle for 100.
trex arms sling is a must
Been waiting for this!!!!!
Almost at 100k and well deserved. One of the best content here.
Ohhhhh man he’s back!!!!!!
bros reccomending the most PLEB upgrades (minus the cloud and talon)
Great. Now I need a other AR cause of this video. Thanks bro 😢
Nice looking cerakote. What was the color on this build?
i have only just scratched the surfase of the gun YT, but isn't the ammo the big expend?
a $1500 budget build with sponsored products. not salesy at all...
Me in the video saying multiple times “you can run whatever you want this is just what I like” lol
how about running what you like that isnt sponsored cause i think some of the products might change but hey it might not lol@@GUNMENusa
make your living dude. i dont have a problem with that. i can think for myself and i find your content valueable
@@andydufresnejrI’m literally running what I like lol. I can get whatever products I want, THIS is what I like and run. It’s all subjective.
you didnt deserve the snarky comment. i just spent $1600 on a ddm4v9 so i was just being a hater about you calling my budget "budget" lol i didnt even watch the video all the way through before i left it.@@GUNMENusa
this channel is aesthetic as hell
How did you do the camouflage? please
finally gunmen posted another vid!
It's a prism scope not a red dot. It's basically like a 1x acog which means eye relief is very short it would be back farther. Not as far forward as possible.
The eye relief is pretty generous with the micro prism. Eye relief is more of a magnification problem rather than a prism problem.
@@lupe_g2Their website says 3.6” for eye relief. That thing is mounted WAY too far forward.
@@christophermitchell7925 Use one and tell me how it goes
@@lupe_g2 I have one.
@@christophermitchell7925 Why are we having this conversation then? It doesn't matter what the website says because it's still usable past 3", although a bit suboptimal. Dude can do what he wants with his gear as long as he's proficient.
your videos are AMAZING!!!
How many inches is the rail?
Man, great video.
What kind of ammo do you stockpile?
Please do a review of the Micro Prism.
Ok, so here's a question about builds. Some folks talk about a "duty rated" or "battle rated" rifle, but what does that even really mean? If you use all mil-spec parts, made to the correct tolerances, using the correct materials, you have a mil-spec rifle. That, by definition, must be "duty rated" because it follows all the requirements to be issued to the military, hence mil-spec. Do I want an ambi safety? Yes. Do I want an ambi charging handle? Yes. Aside from personal preferences, am I really paying for vastly superior parts by spending more, am I paying for better QC, or am I just paying more for the hell of it?
So I may pay more for a silent capture spring because I think it actually functions better than the original part. Triggers are obvious upgrades as they have objectively different pull weights, feels, etc.. But again, if everything on the rifle is properly mil-spec, there should be no real reason to say that you have anything less than a "duty rated" rifle. For me to care about a part, tell me you use a material that is stronger than the mil-spec. Tell me you made the part beefier to be more durable. Tell me you used a finish that has some clear advantage and no disadvantages over the proscribed mil-spec finish. Otherwise, mil-spec is mil-spec is good enough for duty use. Certainly good enough for weekly plinking or less.
I'm curious - if you were looking to acquire a SHTF rifle and money wasn't an object, would you be looking to have the entire rifle Mil-Spec?
If say you had a rifle and you needed part replacement but your situation is reduced to scavenging for parts would it have been better for you to have a custom built or would it make no difference if you had a DDM4A1, or would that DD have parts that MUST be particular to that brand? Essentially, I want the best built rifle without being bound to any series of parts that would be hard to get.
I figure that if I really want a SHTF rifle, it really should be built with that in mind, right?
What upper ? And barrel ?
Quick question? For an LPVO Would you still recommend the Nightforce Atacr 1-8 or is there something better now ?
What’s the intro song and what’s the link to the shirt & pants that you have on same camo
“Budget”
You know you can get a good decent set up for 800 dollars
Awesome looking rifle, new sub here from Texas!
Any opinion on the new Quattro-15 lower receiver from deserttech?
