You guys should do another series with all 3 guys building ARs with a budget of $1100-1300. With a $400-$600 Optic. Alot of people are in that range and it would help people see where to put there money and where they can maybe save.
I was able to get my PSA for shy of $600, trick I found is buy pre-built upper and lower separately, saved me $125. Accurate, reliable, and 100% American made, even the charging handle 😋
You only pay the 11% firearm tax on the lower. If you go as far as a stripped lower saves even more. Granted ya gotta beable to put it together. Though for a lower it's pretty simple.
@@rubbermyducky5998 almost 2000 rds down range, consistent tight groups, and not a single malfunction. No slop in their work, I will be buying more of their products.
My first AR was a Stag 15T-L, I loved that rifle (until I had to sell it to pay some bills a few years ago 😢) !! But I have Liberty Suppressors building me a 300blk integrally suppressed upper, on a Stag Arms stripped left handed upper receiver!! I'm kinda disappointed Matt didn't opt for a left-handed model, being as he's a left-handed shooter . . . but, oh well.
@@kskeel1124 There are people out there with more money than sense. I think their idea is more to try and compare the performance between a Gucci build, a working mans build, and a decent quality off the shelf rifle.
That budget build is a lot like my budget build (except for the charging handle lol). Perfect approach putting the money into the barrel and BGG. I spent a bit more with a Midwest Industries hand guard, Aero Precisions Adjustable gas block, and a Larue 2 stage trigger, but it still cost me less than a grand and it meets the BA sub MOA guarantee with match ammo.
@@tash6638 Neat. Hope you like it. I like what I have because I got exactly what I wanted, performance I wanted, for a better price than anything I could have bought.

All for less than half of what you bought... "lmao" Have a nice day. :)
Excited to see this series. Would you guys talk about what tools you guys used/had to purchase? For a first time builder, part of the budget for the AR includes the tools to assemble it. Thanks!
It use to be kind of fun putting together “budget” AR’s. I put together a 10.5” pistol build for right at $300. Sits in my safe! I love how it looks, but I’ve never enjoyed shooting AR pistols.
I have to say, I am massively preferential towards the Magpul MS4 sling. I love how fast they are to adjust, take 2 QD swivels (for two point QD slings) and can convert instantly to a single point sling. They aren't cheap (cost is usually around 60-90 dollars depending on the vendor) but they are extremely comfortable and practical. I've only got 2 of them right now but I've had probably 20 through the years.
Delta team tactical just had 289.00 80% full build kits. But yeah, if you look around you can build an AR from scratch for about 350-400 easily and it will be spec'd to your needs.
@@jasonsteiner57 that was the case with mine. Final cost was around $480 give or take. BCG/Barrel/buffer tube is where most of it went. Everything else was relatively cheap
Golly Clint. . . golly. I built an AR for a guy and the price was $1100 in parts recently. This exercise really helps to exhibit how some of the AR companies get a solid product to the market at a pretty good comparative price.
This is a pretty cool thing to do, I'm always asking my self should I buy already built or build my own? But by the time I price everything and decide on what caliber I want, EVERYTHING is Out of stock!!! For the most part. I wish each one of you could make a seperate video while doing the build or, well for Matt just adding his accessories LOL.. in addition to what y'all are doing now with the videos every Friday!!!
I always tell people if you can only have one, buy an off the shelf gun. Not only will the QC be solid (assuming its a good manufacturer) but you get a good warranty AND you have a solid mark for resale if you ever decide to get rid of it. Almost no shops or even private buyers will touch "custom builds".
My AR is a $500 DPMS Oracle. I put on a quad rail, bipod foregrip, harbor freight 850 lumen Tactical flashlight with focus adjustment and strobe function. It's got a green lazer, 45 degree cowitness irons and a 4-16 x 40 optic... all I know is I like it... I've put a couple thousand rounds through it and it hasn't failed me yet... lol
After I bought my first A.R. 15 which was a DPMS/panther arms oracle. I purchased it for $500. I upgraded it over the course of the year to a higher in standard A.R. 15. And I spent roughly another $600 on the rifle. After that I started building my own. Which for the same $600-$700 in purchasing and upgrading I now had a high end rifle build without having to pay the $2000 for the high-end rifle. So the budget build or they will say mid range budget build; my bills are just as good as the high end $2000 plus rifles. The things that I don’t skimp on in the build is the barrel the bolt carrier group and the trigger. The other items can be well negotiable lol
Thank you for spotlighting these rare, unheard-of rifles known as "ARs." This is my first time hearing of them but I'm interested. Hopefully, word spreads and these underdog firearms will be awarded the attention they so richly deserve.
Either ya bought it in 1985,ya got something made in china or you bought airsoft,I spent 500 on my Anderson which is pretty bare basics & 1800 on my custom build 🤣🤣🤣
Bought a brand new diamond back DB15 16" barrel, Magpul magazine, stock and grip, MLOK etc... chambered in 300 AAC blackout for $569 from my local gun shop yesterday! killer deal if you ask me.
I still don’t own my first firearm but am addicted to this channel, makes me want to buy one but I am in California and major strict of course but I do hit the range with my pops. Either way great content keep it up!! Update: I know currently own 2 firearms and my first ar on the way lol
There are a number of affordable and high-quality AR's on the market that cost far less than every single one of those builds! On the low end, I'm a huge fan of the IWI 12.5" AR Pistol (
I loved this video so much I built the high end AR with a few mods. First I went with the Vseven upper and handguard. Then instead of B-5 systems grip or stock. I went with Magpul furniture k-2 grip, ACS stock, MBus sights, VFG, and the new polymer dust cover. Since I went with a different handguard I had to change the gas block from JP to an SLR adjustable gas block. Instead of the war comp I put a Silencer Co brake on it to host my saker 5.56 suppressor. I also put a vortex 1-6 LVPO scope on it. Let me know what everyone thinks.
I did something similar to the medium build, baught a M&P 15 sport 2 and replaced furniture (magpul pistol grip and stock), put the radian raptor ambi charging handle on, m-lok hand guard, and a vortex strikefire2 1X red dot.
I built an AR for under 500 using Anderson only parts I only switched the buttstock, handguard, and grip. I decided to spent more on an optic. Looking forward for your build.
I can't wait to see the cheap build run. For a fraction of the cost. Lol OK so durability and precision might not be on par with the others. But I bet it works!
@@echofoxtrotwhiskey1595 I understand the sentiment. Though for 4k. How many cheap rifles could one build. Outfit more patriots if the time comes. With multiples if somethin breaks.
This is a premise that I have wanted to see done for a long time. Usually the comparison is between the most inexpensive AR ever made and a much higher end AR. Having the option to build the lower priced variant is more in line with what many people are doing these days. Stag Arms is a good, underrepresented on TH-cam, out of the box option. The expensive build is ridiculously expensive but I would build mine along the same lines of given the opportunity. I can't wait to see them come together and compete against each other.
The funny thing is the standard military issued rifle is probably much closer to the $700 one in build quality and yet people will pay as much as if it was a 2k rifle for some dumb reason.
If you 3d print the lower it’s even cheaper and waaaaaaaaaaay light, lightest lower on the market. Print it in cf nylon though not pla. Unless you live in a cold environment then tough pla should be fine
I'm not a stranger to guns in general. Dad thought his girls how to shoot too but this is a different level. I always learn something new. Thank Boys. This old girl appreciates your knowledge. OG(old girl) shout out. 👏👏👏👏
Man I love El Cheapo AR-15's. As someone who is not Murican and lives in a dictatorship, I can only dream about assembling my own... in the meantime, "Gunstruction" is a lot of fun, kinda like Legos.
I legit love this idea. I've been hoping a TH-camr would do something like this to just compare and essentially kill the "budget is the same as high end" myth.
I built an AR for around 800.00 two years ago that is worth double now. Stupid. BCM, Aero, Wilson Combat, DD etc...at least 1000 rounds and counting...Awesome content boys!!
The Magpul ACS stock is way better than the B5 imo. The B5 rattles and doesn't lock, and you have to remove the stock to get to the battery tubes. I really don't understand the hype for the B5 SOPMOD.
High End is more expensive than my 04 Toyota Highlander lol. As a lefty, I have been building a stag arms left had eject upper for a while now, getting part after part when I can afford it. I am going to run it on my aero M4E1 lower with a 3.5 lb timney trigger, strike industries ambi mag release, and I plan on getting a JP silent capture buffer for it eventually. For triggers, I think I will just always go for Timney as they make amazing triggers for a great deal, and even include a tootsie pop too!
My brother just got out of the military and he got a IGY6 tat with the red six and his close friend got it with him and sadly took his life 2 months ago it was sad but I 100% understand your tattoo meaning thank you for your service
That's gives people an idea of what you can get for the budget you have. I would recommend building one over buying one simply because you need to understand your weapon inside and out and how it works. By the way, do I sense a giveaway here?
I like the series, great idea. And also have been meaning to comment on your channel since it has started, I LOVE the business model you are employing on your channel. The business model of giving stuff away is fantastic. I am not sure if you took any inspiration from Mr. Beast (completely not gun related), but in my opinion, he has done the 'giving stuff away' business model for a TH-cam channel the best. It's a win-win for everyone, love it.
PSA lower blem 119.99 + PSA blem upper 299.99 = 419.98, push two pins and it shoots. Add Magpul BUIS for 49.99 and under $500 for a reliable functional AR.
My first AR was a PSA upper on an Anderson lower I built for $350. It did me well for a long time and I’ve since given it to my brother. My current is a side charging 450 bushmaster (I hunt a lot and wanted knock down power but loved the AR platform) the PSA upper was surprisingly good and for $350 for a whole gun I wasn’t going to complain. I did need a new gas block because it was over gassed and wasn’t adjustable but the barrel shot true and I’ve never had a malfunction out of the 2k rounds I put through it
For the proper AR, should've went with a Unbranded ambi lower for 80, BCM Mod 3 for 20, Dirty Bird ambi selector for 20, and Anderson LPK for 40 (Totaling 160). Should've also swapped the stock for Magpul SL-K for 25 bucks more, tge charging handle for the BCM Mod 4b for 30 bucks more, and Northrac P11 red dot for nearly 200 bucks cheaper or the Primary Arms SLx micro prism optic for 50 bucks less.
Really looking forward to this series! Wish there would have been a bit of disclaimers of what your rules are. I've build some very solid ARs for less than a grand using PSA for less than even Alec's build, including optic and a decent charging handle. All that includes I don't know much. I've only built like 5 ARs so far
If you shop around there's a lot of smaller shops online that sell complete uppers for around 300. My build (Christmas sale included) cost 600 for quality parts
Got me I'll be back every Friday to tune in for updates. Interesting to sew how them compare. Keep in mind in war you could start out with single shot muzzle loader ...and get an upgrade from the enemy.
i actually really love the $700 build and love the attitude with it. Charging handle from china but it works. Not really keen on supporting china instead of US made parts but some people want to save money on non essential parts to afford an optic or nice trigger.
Are you giving the guns away once they are done?

My first AR was a PSA upper on an Anderson lower I built for $350. It did me well for a long time and I’ve since given it to my brother. My current is a side charging 450 bushmaster (I hunt a lot and wanted knock down power but loved the AR platform) the PSA upper was surprisingly good and for $350 for a whole gun I wasn’t going to complain. I did need a new gas block because it was over gassed and wasn’t adjustable but the barrel shot true and I’ve never had a malfunction out of the 2k rounds I put through it
I call dibs on Alek's build! I'm a lefty too!
Yes!!! Been waiting on this
Awesome series!
12:20 😂😂😂 I have worries about that charging handle!
Im new to firearms in general, this series is helping me so much
Matt’s build all day!
For the proper AR, should've went with a Unbranded ambi lower for 80, BCM Mod 3 for 20, Dirty Bird ambi selector for 20, and Anderson LPK for 40 (Totaling 160). Should've also swapped the stock for Magpul SL-K for 25 bucks more, tge charging handle for the BCM Mod 4b for 30 bucks more, and Northrac P11 red dot for nearly 200 bucks cheaper or the Primary Arms SLx micro prism optic for 50 bucks less.
Summer of 2020 I built a prebuilt Anderson lower and Anderson upper, for a total of 540 plus 70 for optics
Now just the prebuilt upper is 499
Looking forward to the series. Over the years I've built at least one of each range.
I went all out on my first build. About 4K. Thanks stimulus!
Really looking forward to this series! Wish there would have been a bit of disclaimers of what your rules are. I've build some very solid ARs for less than a grand using PSA for less than even Alec's build, including optic and a decent charging handle. All that includes I don't know much. I've only built like 5 ARs so far
As a stag 15 owner i was kinda shocked and happy to see that their out of the box AR was the stag :)))
A budget rifle can run just as reliable as a Gucci rifle if you build it correctly with quality parts. The price just goes up with comfortability 💯
This is going to be a fun series.
Just watched about 12 videos and finally subscribed
I'd like to see you guys do an AR-10 build series next, those are so much more complicated.
If you shop around there's a lot of smaller shops online that sell complete uppers for around 300. My build (Christmas sale included) cost 600 for quality parts
Spare parts abomination builds are a guilty pleasure for many of us.
Like the all the BUILDS sometimes the $$$ doesn't mean it's that much better sometimes it's the shooter behind the trigger .
You Can still build a Quality AR. for around 550 with Bear Creek Armory upper. Anderson lower magpull stock and mag moonstrum 3x optic.
Nice to see different options for different budgets, but all quality parts.
Got me I'll be back every Friday to tune in for updates. Interesting to sew how them compare. Keep in mind in war you could start out with single shot muzzle loader ...and get an upgrade from the enemy.
Excited for this. You should really throw a psa in the mix just bc of how popular they are.
+1 on the swampfox. I have a 1-10x LPVO and absolutely LOVEEE IT.
i actually really love the $700 build and love the attitude with it. Charging handle from china but it works. Not really keen on supporting china instead of US made parts but some people want to save money on non essential parts to afford an optic or nice trigger.
This is a great idea for Fridays!
