Building a “Go To” AR

[TacticalMountaineer]

Is that better than a "truck" AR?

I never fully understood a truck gun. I never leave anything in my car. I guess we are talking cheap parts there

I bought a lightly (if at all) used Colt 6720 for under $800. I have loads of ARs but that one is a "go to". I put a Burris TAC30 scope on it this weekend and I like that the reticule pattern matches the BDC pattern in my scout scope on the Ruger GSR. Koolaid brought out a Bear Creek Arsenal upper on an Anderson lower and I must say I'm impressed with the feel and accuracy. Wasn't expecting much. Very surprised.

I hear he’s more into UZI’s than AR’s these days

...notice I didn't '@' tag him...

But seriously OP, are you thinking an honest 'build' or just putting together an upper & lower?
I've done both but before my 'boating accident' my go-to AR was an ADCO Firearms upper build using a light weight Daniel Defense 16 inch barrel on a White Oak Armament upper receiver, an LMT BCG, BCM mod 3 charging handle, fsb up front, fixed Troy rear sight in back, Aimpoint PRO in between, Magpul handguard.
Lower was a BCM blem factory lower with a Magpul stock & grip.
Magpul MS2 sling and a Streamlight light.

I tagged him in an AR thread once and everybody roasted me for it.

Looking at an honest build.

Cheap is more like it. I built a 7.5 poly lower AR for my truck gun. Less then $300 bucks in it and some trading. I never leave anything worth value in my vehicles especially weaponry.

Just buy a BCM. Save yourself a lot of hassle

I still have my first build. I do not think price is an advantage when you build one, but I like the fact you and pick each part and get exactly what you want in the end.
