Complete AR parts kits $279 on Palmetto State Armory

[Russ McDonald]

Dumb question but I have never built one before but what else does a guy need to buy to make this complete and functional?

a stripped lower, because this comes with a lower parts kit.  That stripped lower needs to go through a FFL.

Or an 80% lower that you finish yourself and no FFL transfer required.

I purchased a 16” mid-length 5.56 (in OD green) last week on this deal. Thought it was a good price and will be my first “build”, if you can call purchasing a complete upper a build.

I am a little Leary about putting together a stripped lower though, are there any good YouTube videos or step by steps you guys have seen on how to put the rest of this rifle together?

Thanks!

They're pretty easy to put together. I did my first one last month with zero prior experience, it doesn't come with any directions but all the parts come separated out in baggies (trigger parts, Mag release parts etc) and its pretty simple to follow along with a youtube vid and slap it together

Good point.

And you can get the stripped lower for $50 at Palmetto when you order your kit.....Or you can spend as much as you want.   But it's just a chunk of metal (or plastic!).
