I'm thinking I'll go stock 5.56 on the Rock River and maybe 9mm on the Grizzly, but I've considered 5.45. What do you guys think?
If you paid more than $150 for each of those (after shipping), then I must :laugh: @u.
Actually they were around that before shipping, the FFL transfer fee +bg check + shipping made it higher by about $30+...but at least I didn't get stuck paying any other taxes (my state charges 9+%.
I got them both from Gunbroker. Right now the RRA's are going for $190 and the LAR Grizzly's go anywhere from $150-220 online...though they used to be much cheaper. Certain brands just cost more, even though they're all basically the same. You can still get a lot of lesser known roll-stamped stripped lowers for around $130 if you look...
I want to assemble on of those lowers with my dad as a fun father/son project. When it's all said and done, I'll have $715 in my first AR (5.56) and probably $850+ if I build a 9mm. The 9mm costs more because not many companies make upper parts and I'll probably need to get a different buffer and whatever adapters are needed for the magazine. I'm going to spec out the build costs of both 9mm and 5.45, but am really leaning toward 9mm because I know the ammo is common enough.
