Unless you're really new and just want a complete rifle because you find the takedown pins overwhelming, there's really no reason to buy an all-Anderson rifle lol, their $29 lowers are a staple though
[PSA pretty much always has complete lowers for $99-119](https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-ar15-complete-classic-stealth-lower.html)
Then buy an upper from a company you actually like lol, or at least one that isn't used as the punchline in 70% of our jokes
[Or build an actual nice upper, LaRue has 5.56 barrels on clearance right now for $140~](https://www.opticsplanet.com/larue-tactical-predatar-m4-5-56mm-threaded-barrel.html)
Got any good recommendations on a complete upper to pair? Been looking at these psa lowers for weeks, trying to decide between the bravo or moe combination, and can't decide whether to just get their full build kit for $479ish, build an upper (started to do this asI have an extra stripped upper, but tired of trying to search for best parts for best deal), or pair the psa lower for $119ish with a different complete upper out there somewhere. Any input would be much appreciated 🤙
So do you have any idea how much you're looking to spend and what you're looking for like length or anything? And do you have a budget-ish?
So just as an example of a build with good parts, something like:
- [BCM stripped upper](https://bravocompanyusa.com/bcm-upper-receiver-m4-flat-top-m4-feedramps-complete-unassembled-demo-scratched/)
- [Gas block 0.625](https://bravocompanyusa.com/bcm-low-profile-gas-block-cosmetic-blem-625/#)
- [Gas Tube](https://bravocompanyusa.com/gas-tube-mid-length/)
- [Microbest BCG](https://www.wcarmory.com/microbest-bcg-556-phosphate-c158-mp-bolt.htm)
- [16" LaRue barrel](https://www.opticsplanet.com/larue-tactical-predatar-m4-5-56mm-threaded-barrel.html) (Schuyler's [has a bunch of barrels on sale too](https://www.reddit.com/r/gundeals/comments/1b9flxa/parts_schuyler_arms_barrel_bonanza_55630865/) and so does [Pickett](https://www.reddit.com/r/gundeals/comments/1bflh1l/parts_ballistic_advantage_barrel_sale_7199_in_the/))
+ your muzzle device + charging handle + free float handguard of choice ([here's a cheap one just as an example](https://ar15discounts.com/products/nbs-ar-15-ultralight-m-lok-free-float-handguard/?variant=4622201&avad=211021_e382ecd19), prob want a shorter/lighter one)
These [BCM blem uppers are a solid deal if you can find them in stock](https://bravocompanyusa.com/cosmetic-blem-bcm-mk2-standard-14-5-mid-length-complete-upper-receiver-group-w-mcmr-13-handguard/)
But yeah, a PSA upper + lower is going to also be serviceable
I bought an Anderson am15 for 400$ not long ago and it’s really good for a first rifle. Though I don’t have a ton of ar experience it’s smooth to shoot and accurate
if buying the absolute cheapest AR-15 you can find is your goal, you can do better than this
[Complete 16" 5.56 AR-15 $343](https://www.bearcreekarsenal.com/5-56-nato-16-parkerized-m4-barrel-1-7-twist-carbine-gas-system-15-mlok-rail-rifle-new-mlok.html)
And you can do better if you look, I found that just because I knew BCA would have something even cheaper
