As always, the buying and selling of firearms go through the roof during election season and this season is no different. Many people who had been putting off buying a firearm will be looking at the shelves of weapons at their local gun shops and pondering the prices, trying to figure out how best to get an excellent weapon at a good deal.
The AR-15 is always a top seller, and is as American as apple pie and the Ford Mustang, making it a favorite for preppers and gun enthusiasts alike.
Unfortunately, the high-end versions of these weapons can run into the thousands of dollars while the cheapest models are suspect for quality.
Luckily, by following some key steps and knowing where to look, you can save hundreds of dollars by converting one of the cheaper rifles into a rifle as reliable as the high-end models. Learn how on the next page.

Save is relative. Especially with the ar15 so many models and manufacturers. You can buy a cheapo and strip it down and rebuild it or buy a stripped receiver and assemble it completely yourself. You can just buy everything at once or wait for parts to come on sale and save a few bucks. Typically people will only pay so much for an ar regardless of what you spent on it.

Or you can compare the price of a cheap rifle already tricked out and see which would be more economical. I know a lot of people that bought a cheap rifle and paid out about $1000 on it to trick it out. Nothing to make it unique but the same damn stuff, the same amount of stuff on the other rifle and they spent $200 more doing it their way when the other rifle had the same exact stuff and was $200 cheaper by the time it was said and done. So… make sure you research the cost of a cheap rifle and tricking it out vs buying one already done with the same stuff.
