ar15 I'm doing this from phone and it must have changed it. PSA is what I was looking at they have a full kit with 22 conversion on sale for black friday for $500. I am temped by that one. but no rear sight or carry handle so it is not complete.

Not having a rear sight is pretty standard for kits. I'd pick it up if it meets your requirements. Do you have .22 magazines for the conversion kit?

It says it comes with one. 15 rounds if I read that right.

Nope I read it wrong and they said that if they cancel the order they will charge 5% restock fee.

I want the kit. Maybe, I can send it out of state and leave the magazine somewhere safe until the craziness gets fixed. They do have some other kits that don't have the conversion but some other nice improvements over the other kit.

I would research and buy part by part that way you get exactly what you want

This is the one I decided on. Maybe, my next build will be pieced together from parts I want. This one is just to get my feet wet.

ETA: And this should be plenty of bad ass to start with so I'm happy. I'm not sure the bullets I will be using in it but 1:7 twist should handle 55 grain and up.

Here is a great video about putting the lower together that doesn't involve a lot of specialty tools.
