Bubba built this in a cave..made of scraps! - tier 3

For your viewing pleasure, I present my diy sidecharger spare parts build. I have a theme of other mad max guns, needed an AR to round it out and wanted a side charger. The only new part was a pony receiver from one of PA's $30 sales, I bought like 5. Every part was bought used, scavenged or built. Total cost, under $200 less optic.

Parts list.. Lower: poverty pony - $47 after transfer.

Upper: no fucking clue, gunshow $20 special. Let's pretend it's a Colt.

Barrel: sig 556 barrel, Armslist special with cut off a2 gas block, tube and birdcage for $50

Buffer assembly: no clue, random Armslist or GAFS sale - $20?

Stock: shelf mounting bracket, a worm gear and 2 random bolts - $free.95

BCG: used Toolcraft from GAFS -$60

Charging handle: 5/16 shoulder bolt I found in my shop -$free.50

Handguard: paint roller tube with a ziptie - $2.15

Pretty obviously just used a cutoff wheel on the upper, I'll clean it up someday. For the bolt, honestly made a hole with a Dremel, was originally shooting for a .2030 hole to make it 1/4-20, but seeing as I was using a fucking Dremel, didn't go as planned. Went a size up and tapped it for 5/16. Have a mill I could have used, but that's no fun.

Huzzah. Diy side charger that shoots..actually quite nice for under $200.
