So if i do a build what should a good build cost

Reasonablu

The most important things are your barrel, trigger, and bolt carrier group

These are the heart and soul of a rifle

Spend most of your money on those

The rest can be Aero precision or above which isn't expensive

Total for a good build will be between 1200 and 1500 dollars

Ooof

Yeah that aint happenin rn, not for awhile

Like I said if you can't afford it wait

I can't emphasize enough in buying quality

I know

Thats why i threw 800.on my armor set up

In the long run you will thank yourself

Yeah I know, just don't cheap out on the rifle and wait

But that was all i have rn amd for the foreseeable future

Idk how much time we even have.

What do you suggest i do, buy a basic ass prebuilt, then get a better gun later, or just not get anytbing until i can get a quality one

Then buy a PSA complete rifle and it will serve you fine. Don't expect wonders

Alright noted.

That is basement tier that will still function reliably, but I will still suggest waiting and getting something better because you're going to end up spending way more money upgrading it and throwing parts away

If i buy a prebuilt im not upgrading ut

Itll stay as is, all other parts will be devoted soley to the new, better gun

Also idk how to build lmao

You will need a decent optic

I got my Sig Romeo red dot for now lol

I got it on sale plus it came w 10 free gen2 mags. Which i figuted id need

Not a bad deal

I was gonna throw on flip up irons for Co-witness

*timmy turner dad*
*this is where id put my red dot on my rifle*
*IF I HAD ONE*

Lol you'll be fine

Ok this my.plan;

https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-pa-15-16-nitride-m4-carbine-556-nato-classic-ar-15-rifle-13-5-m-lok-rail-black.html

Just buy that

Buy basic PSA. Throw Reddot + cowitness irons.

Slowly build up parts for "Actually good rifle"

Put old red dot and new flip up irons on new rifle, so PSA old rifle has at least irons still. Keep PSA as backup

@Bard ill just buy one of my friends dads PSA rifles. I dont wanna spend more than like. 6 tops on a basic ass starter

That's essentially what my roommate did, he regretted wasting money on it later instead of buying out of the gate but if you really feel like you need a rifle now then there you go

If anything i have +1 rifle to arm my girlfriend/aomeome else if needed

That is true

Thats how i see it anyway

No gun is a wasted purchase in my eyes
