i have two nice AR15's already, so i thought i would get a cheap rifle for plinking/trunk gun/zombie upriseing tool. so i think im going to build a rifle.so far i was thinking of buying a

sundevil lower from Rainier Arms
a cheap collapsable stock
a lower parts kit from del-ton

i dont know what upper i want im leaning toward a m4 configuration.

how long would it take a personr to put together a lower? any other advice would be greatly appreciated

i would say only about 30 min
i would go to ar15 forum and look around

devilslayer · 10-03-2007, 02:51 AM

why go there when i got XD talk to fall back on.we need to quit passing the buck to them im sure we have enough experiance and know how.is it me or do XD's and AR's just go together?...we just need a few tech and how to stickys and id be set,..

wait i have 2 XD's and 2 AR's..if i do this build im going to have to buy another XD..dam OCD!

Yeah if we had a mod that could sticky them for us then I would say it would be a pretty good idea to put together some of that stuff.. but in the mean time ARFCOM is the go to place for assembly instructions etc..

Plus you have to give credit where credit is due.

Now that's a great resource. If someone here would take pictures of their next build, post them with instructions, then great! Let's do it with out stealing pictures.

First question...

Why the Sun Devil lower of you are going to throw a cheap stock and lower parts kit in it ??????? Come on, that lower deserves better

Get the CMT/RRA parts kit. who knows what kit Delton is using ?

To put a lower together FAST as in the 30 minutes as rogerxd said is inviting disaster to happen. Take you time, it isn't a race.

well i didnt realize the sundevil was that great of a lower,i just thought it had a awsome rollmark...lol

it's billet.......others are forged, some are cast.

devilslayer · 10-03-2007, 11:58 PM

so whitch is best? im guessing billet then forged...i also like the checkering on the front of the magwell doesnt mega do that to..(when they are makeing them lol) i think maybe cheap plinker and AR shouldnt be in the same sentenceso i think i will build a higher end rifle what would be a quality upper to throw on ?i was thinking saber or lmt.

If you're throwing a quality upper on it, LaRue and White Oak are places to start. And you'll want a better parts kit.. at the very least look at the DPMS kit, I'd personally get the RRA NM 2 stage kit.
