If you missed our latest YouTube video, Brandon builds an AR-15 with specific capability requirements in mind, all within a limited budget. This build is capable of training for and competing in practical carbine matches while also being well-equipped for general preparedness and defense.

Parts in this build were carefully selected to optimize performance and longevity, with the rifle easily being able to last at least two maintenance cycles with no major performance degradation.

Along with the main channel video, the Armory channel got a new video breaking down the budget rifle, explaining why certain parts were chosen over others, showing comparable options, and going deeper into why "budget" doesn't always have to mean garbage.

Last but certainly not least, we recently got some more stock of our lower parts kit. These kits were designed with quality and value in mind and feature Brandon's Favorite Safety™. These parts kits end up in most of our rifles, including the budget rifle from the above videos, so be sure to grab one for your next build.
