I am looking at a listing that has an Anderson lower with an Aero upper. The details provided include: ALG Geissele Handguard MLOK & QD Sling Points AERO Upper Receiver 16" Mil-spec Barrel Nitride Mil-spec Bolt Carrier Group MAGPUL Pistol Grip MAGPUL Stock PSA LPK Asking $650. Owner claims 60 rounds through it. Opinions would be very appreciated. ________________________ "Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme" | ||

can you buy a used AR for $650?? if not then go for it "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A. Heinlein “You may beat me, but you will never win.” sigmonkey-2020 “A single round of buckshot to the torso almost always results in an immediate change of behavior.” Chris Baker | |||

You could probably find a used Colt for that price, in most areas. I would pass, especially when you could buy a new PSA rifle for under $400. Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

You can go online and find the prices for everything listed except the "16" Mil-spec Barrel." There is no such thing. The military does not use 16" barrels (closest thing would be the 16.5" bbl on the IAR, but that's linked to a proprietary piston system, so it would not be surplused into a DI rifle). The description might indicate that it's chrome lined, but that would be useful to know. | |||

Who built it? You can buy a complete PSA lower and upper for $400ish if all you want is a decent plinker | |||

Not worth $650 for a used FrankenAR. You can get a new Ruger AR556 for less. None of the items listed are anything special or top tier. The Anderson lower with PSA LPK practically screams “poverty pony”. | |||

I agree with the others. Seller probably doesn't have bad intentions or anything, just isn't valuing his stuff right. For what it's worth, the ALG keymod rails have been on closeout for a while and run about half what the mlok ones do. | |||

Not a good price at all. | |||

As usual, y'all come through with the skinny. What a great group here. I will pass on this one. Thanks, all! ________________________ "Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme" | |||

Very generous of you IndianaBoy, but I will be trading into anything I want in the near future. Thanks. ________________________ "Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme" | |||

Pretty easy to build lots of youtube videos, then you can spend as much or little as you want. if your not into that I would try and find the 6920 colt. or any name brand, not that the franken ar's are bad but little harder to sell imo | |||

For that money there's no reason to settle for a bitsa. Take a look at S&Ws or (what would be my personal preference) an Armalite Eagle-15. For $650 you can probably find other manufactured options as well. | |||

Palmetto sells ARs with geisele rails and other such features assembled and cheaper. Keep an eye out looking for all the acronyms people want, EPT, CHFb MBUS, etc... | |||

Not listing the manufacturer of the barrel is a red flag. | |||

Plowing straight ahead come what may |
If I weren't going to build one myself, rather than buy someone's else build, I would look at purchasing a new AR...Bud's has new S&W ARs for under $500 (after rebate)...Bud's is easy to order from at a fair price... https://www.budsgunshop.com/ca...3rem%2f556nato+16%22 For a rifle with an upgraded trigger, stock and handguard (plus an 18" barrel and rifle length gas system)...you might consider this Ruger AR556 for not a lot more money...still under the price of the Franken-build (which might be fine)... https://www.budsgunshop.com/ca...hp/products_id/44367 ******************************************************** "we've gotta roll with the punches, learn to play all of our hunches Making the best of what ever comes our way Forget that blind ambition and learn to trust your intuition Plowing straight ahead come what may And theres a cowboy in the jungle" Jimmy Buffet | |||

https://palmettostatearmory.co...ontent=12%3a00+Email $369 for an upper with Geissele rail and M249 CHF FN barrel. Find a lower for $100 and you’re good to go. Correction: it’s a PSA rail but still nice. | |||

That doesn't have a BCG/CH, or an LPK/LBK, so it would take a whole lot more than $100 to turn that into a rifle. | |||

OP do you have a specific purpose that you want to fill with an AR? That would help me make a recommendation. | |||
