Looking for an AR SBR/pistol upper

[Pokem807]

I've been thinking about building an AR pistol since the ATF reversed their reversal. After pricing out an upper, minus CH and BCG, it's pretty easy to blow $500. I can buy a 10.5" Aero M4E1 upper for $329, which seems like a pretty good deal since just the upper and handguard are about $225.

I don't mind paying a little extra for quality, but I'm not gonna drop $1400 on a BCM pistol just so I can say that I own a BCM pistol.

Any suggestions on a quality pistol or pistol upper that's priced reasonably in this buyer's market?

I've purchased a couple excellent kits from these guys. I've read some negative reviews, but my experience has 100% positive. Most of the parts aren't name brand, but made an excellent truck pistol. Look for their sales. Built a complete pistol for about $360

Go by Fatboy, they will hook you up! Give them the options you like and what you're looking to spend. They have plenty of pre-builds and will put something together for you. Show you where it's good to spend the extra based on your preferences and budget.

I have a new in the wrapper Aero stripped lower and basic lower parts kit (about $125 combined); within the last few weeks bought a pistol buffer tube (about $15); buffer and spring ($25). a new 5.56 PSA complete pistol/SBR upper with A2 sight tower, A2 handguard, charging handle and bolt carrier ($300). Had a spare flip up rear sight on hand. Could have gone cheaper on a home-built upper/barrel and a cheaper lower. The basic pistol setup totals under $500 for a basic AR pistol. I could probably shave some cost with a cheaper stripped lower but I'm not sure how much cheaper I can build an upper after I add sights, bolt, and charging handle for my 308 rifle. I think the PSA is a good value.

I've bought from them, too. Only think I think was a poor purchase was the inexpensive flip-up sights. I wouldn't buy those again. Everything else, I think was fine. I believe a couple of the AR grips I had to trim a small amount of plastic from the back to fit perfectly flush.

www.223handguard.com is another low-budget option that I have been extremely pleased with.

Yea the sights were/are garbage. Definitely upgraded those

Primary Arms has their exclusive Seekins Precision 10.5" upper, with CH and BCG, for $399.

I can't build an upper, or have one built, this cheap. Given these two options, which is the better deal? I prefer the configuration of the PSA, but I'm leaning towards the Seekins because it's a Seekins.

That's the brace I've been looking at, or maybe the Mod 2. Nice pistol!
