Like the title says I'm going to build a super budget AR. I have some furniture left over from other builds and can get a stripped lower for cheap....

Anybody got AR parts they'd be willing to let go for free or super cheap? I'm talking anything...that random AR stuff you have rolling around your tool box....

Please? For the children?

I built this one for $311, $400 if you include the red dot. It took me a year to collect the parts. I caught some sales and bought used parts from the other sight. Great shooting cheap plinker. I like to think of myself as frugal, my wife prefers cheap bastard!

If I had the cash I would....but I am all tapped out after convincing the wife to buy my truck. I want a YHM Black Diamond upper but I would have to sell an AK to get it. I don't want to do that.

I have genuinely used all my brownie points with her

Maybe you should start an AR donation thread and see who has parts that they will hook you up with.

I have a couple of cheap rubber handguard rail covers I'd toss in, maybe even a mag

Yes...a unicorn of sorts. It's a 1998 Ram 2500 quad cab short bed...it has the newer interior but retains the older mechanical 12v Cummins. Produced for 4 months at the end of 97. Fairly rare truck. I found a time warp in VA with 71k original miles...oh and it's a 5 speed manual.

That might be a good idea...a parts donation thread not just for me but the site in general.
