The one I do is actually better (ballistic advantage barrel) for a bit less. Just fyi. Ours isn't an assembled upper, but I can get that done for like $25.

No one should feel bad about cluttering up the thread.
It's here to help anyone with questions get into ARs. If you have a question about something, chances are someone else reading wants to know about it too, so ask away! And feel free to show off anything this thread inspires you to buy or build.

quote:I build full custom AR 15s and, yes, I'm based in Houston. I've sent rifles all over the US, however. Just have to have it shipped to an FFL instead of to you. Pricing on guns varies greatly, depending on what you want, but I'm very competitive in regards to pricing with custom product. Lead times are relatively short in most cases (still working through the class year guns but thankfully those are getting knocked out quickly now). Texian Firearms branded (billet uppers/lowers) builds start at $950 and standard (forged or magnesium) start at $750. With a standard build, most stay under a grand. Most end up around $900 or so but that will vary a little bit. If you want, give me a call at 832-770-9358 and we can talk some options. Ask for Justin.
Well I am just not that familiar with what eye does, and I think he is located in Houston which could be a logistics problem for me. Not sure how shipping would work or if he builds a full AR not sure how I would get it. So would love to hear about his options and pricing compared to links above, but would need to work out other details off the thread...

Ok, I thought I wad starting to figure it out, but what is a lower parts kit? Does the build kit already contain these parts? All I need is the stripped lower and build kit, correct?

at this point in my life, I probably only get out once every 2-3 months to shoot, so I've been curious how much work/maintenance they are. are they pretty easy to maintain?

It's a trap!
Once you have a Geissele trigger in one AR, you'll want them in every AR.

Oh, and do not want optics right now, just decent iron sites.

That specific kit would be a decent quality gun, though I'm not a huge fan of the M4 set up for a couple of reasons, the biggest being the front sight.
