The great state of TEXAS
I get notifications from a lot of different retailers concerning parts and ammo and such. Several weeks ago I got a notification that had a complete parts kit for an AR rifle for $335. All you needed was a stripped lower to build a complete rifle. It included everything (upper parts, lower parts, all in between parts (not sure if it had a mag). But now I can not find the ad anymore. Does anyone recall seeing a kit like that? Who was selling it? Thanks for helping out an old brain.
 
Delta team tactical has them, many other places will have them as well. Think bca we a kit in I e of there emails, bca has complete rifles for under $400 so if you can easily get them shipped and you like the gun there a good deal.
 
Don’t know of any for that little. But I know of several in the $390 pricing. Take note though. Those kits have never been my take. They are mostly CHINESIUM parts, & typically very low quality. 6061 Aluminum instead of the superior 7075. Some pretty bad machining, and barrels with questionable accuracy.
 
I would second, or third, the PSA kits. I bought one a few years back and assembled it on a $40 Anderson lower with just household tools and a YouTube video.

It worked first time, was decently accurate, couldn't have asked any more from it, especially for the price. Turned out I was not an AR fan, but not the kit's fault. Felt comfortable selling it to a friend.
 
It was probably PSA. I have built a few kits from them and had no problems at all. I’ll gladly build another if the desire and funds present themselves.
 
After trying PSA, I would always buy a Del-ton. They are better quality kits with excellent accuracy.

Palmetto State Armory has been running super good deals lately on AR uppers! I'd check them out, as others have posted previously. Like $399 for everything but a lower receiver!
