I Got My First Long Gun Today........
 

Well sort of...........:D

I purchased a DPMS AR 5.56 lower today at the Houston Gun Show. nanner

I am pretty happy about it and I am now looking for an upper assembly for it on Midway USA. :cool:

Good deal Mike, congrats!!!:)

+2 too what John Posted.......

Thanks guy's I am pretty stoked.

I have only fired shotguns and 22's in the past.

I am really looking forward to getting it all together and getting to the range. nanner

I will try and post some pic's tomorrow.

Good deal Mike.:)

Another PM sent my friend!!!:)

Got it thanks, replied.

Woo Hoo! Congrats!

congrats

Congratulations! nanner

Congratulations on the new lower! I'm assuming it's complete? i.e. nothing more for you to build. Yes, you can buy an upper tomorrow at Midway if you like, but sometimes its better to wait a bit and see what comes up at your LGS used. I've got TWO complete PCF (Plum Crazy Firearms) polymer lowers sitting in my safe with no uppers to mate them to (yet). I figger I'll find a takeoff from some guy's rifle someday. (of course.... I already have a working AR, so I'm a little more relaxed).

Happy Shooting and another nanner

Michael

Thanks Michael.

Yes the lower is complete it has RR internals and Magpul grip and stock.

I like your advise but I would really like to get this together as it is my first AR and once I get back on the road for work, which will be soon, I will have little time to get it together and shoot it.

This will not be my last AR so on the next one I think that I will try and built it from parts.

Thanks
Mike

as I said Mike.... I already have one complete, so I'm a bit more relaxed and can wait for a bit. Order the puppy and have some fun!

That's very cool. I've bought two Palmetto State Armory uppers (one for a friend and one for me) and they're both good for the money. I believe they were approx $430 each.

I chose their 16" mid length gas system with hammer forged barrel.

Neither has malfunctioned yet.

Thanks Grizz

I saw some Palmetto State uppers on the web I take a closer look.

Thanks again
Mike

They may cost more,but they are well worth it.

Take a look at BCM (Bravo Company)That is what i'm put on my Spike's Tactical lower with a Troy battle rail.

There is no doubt that BCM, Daniel Defense, and Colt make top quality uppers and are well worth their cost if you plan to trust your life to the rifle.

BCM actually has a 16" hammer forged mid length on sale right now on their site for $489, which doesn't include a bolt carrier group or handguards. Finding them in stock is generally the only issue with them.

Of I may offer an alternate suggestion Mike, get either a 6.8SPC or Grendel upper for it. You can use the same magazines(Capacity is reduced by two rounds) and you end up with a much more effective round that can also be used to hunt larger game with like Deer. The 6.8 is basically a shortened 270Winchester and is three times more effective at any range than the 5.56.

Just a thought, Juuuuusssssttttt a thought.

Congrats Mike, I
m sure will love shooting her. They are very fun.

I fully agree with Dave on the 6.8 SPC front.

I built one up, and and am very happy with it so far.

Well I have been collecting parts for my lower and almost have a complete AR. I am still awaiting on my BUIS. I purchased some YHM BUIS and they should be here buy the weekend.
