I'm not really one for "budget builds" my bottom line on parts are Aero Precision / Tool Craft etc...
My go to recent builds are:
1. BCM upper 11.5/ MCMR
Aero Pre. BCG
Aero Pre. Lower /with Aero LPK
Aero Pre. Receiver ext /Buffer and recoil assembly
BCM Charging handle
BCM Grip (I love the texture and the angle)
BCM Trigger Guard
BCM Kag
Aero Standard MilSpec FCG/Polished/ JP Enterprises (Red hammer spring)
Eotech EXPS-2-0
2. BCM upper 11.5/ MCMR Mk2
Aero Pre. BCG
Aero Pre. M4E1 Lower /with Aero LPK
Aero Pre. Receiver ext /Buffer and recoil assembly
Radian Raptor-SD Charging handle
BCM Grip
BCM Kag
Aero Standard MilSpec FCG
Scalarworks 1.57 Mount / Holosun HS403R
Accessories I use:
Mounts: Scalarworks, ADM
Im a red dot/reflex guy: Eotech, Aimpoint, Holosun, Primary arms
CH:Radian, BCM
Rails: BCM MCMR, MI, Geissele
BCG: Toolcraft, Aero, BCM
Lights: SF, Modlite, Streamlight, AD
Triggers: Milspec trigger(JP Springs), but you cant miss with geissele
Slings: Vickers, or Magpul ( I run a BCM QD endplate on all my ARs because when I stock over shoulder around cover my sling still sits on my shoulder and I dont get tangled up in my kit)
I dont understand the whole Budget/Truck gun AR logic or the Just as good logic. I run my guns hard and I shoot a lot in dusty fine red clay environments. I dont clean my ARs often they may go a couple thousand rounds until I feel like im bored on a rainy afternoon and clean them. My experience if some of the "cheaper" options and I'll call it out by name Palmetto State Ive had 1 out of 5 that wasn't over gassed. Ive blown gas rings on their BCGs after a couple hundred rounds (including premium line). Out of spec 1913 rails, out of spec receiver pin holes, out of spec magwells, Enlarged pin holes on lowers. Id take an $280 Aero upper over any Premium PSA CHF upper. This is just my opinion I know people swear by those parts and thats fine, but in a free market if I don't like it I wont buy it. These are the components I prefer.
