[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1079227, member: 423"] Both [URL="http://www.model1sales.com/item-detail.cfm?ID=KCE160&storeid=1&image=car16pre.gif&CFID=60230398&CFTOKEN=38870600"]model1sales[/URL] or [URL="http://www.del-ton.com/AR_15_Rifle_Kits_16_s/57.htm"]del-ton[/URL] have Rifle Kits (full AR minus stripped lower) for under $500. Add a cheap stripped lower and you have a complete AR for ~$550. And a decent - not high, decent - quality AR. If you are looking for ultimately cheap, get the A2 upper and you don't need to add anything else to shoot it. If you get the A3, you have more flexibility, but must add either a rear sight or an optic to aim. My EA lower ($86), LPK ($50), and Del-Ton middy rifle kit (with CTR minus LPK for $515) shoots pretty good, about 3moa right now. I did add a flip up rear sight, and rings for 4x scope I had laying around. Going to add a free float 4 rail and see if that improves accuracy. So far has been completely reliable with factory ammo (took a few tries to work out the kinks in loading semi auto rifle ammo), other than it didn't like a friends beta mag, at all. [/QUOTE]
