[QUOTE="bettingpython, post: 2434208, member: 4307"] I keep telling myself I want a "cheap" AR to just throw in the truck, hasn't happened so far. I think the first one I ever built was about $900. My dedicated .22 rifle is probably the cheapest one I've put together. My 300 AAC Blackout being next cheapest. I hate the triggers on them though, same with my wifes rifle. The trigger on my goto gun has me spoiled. I got most of the parts on sale for my wife's rifle and it still ate almost $1700, (never keep a build spreadsheet and track the cost, it'll make you cringe), and that's with a stock LPK trigger. I think mine was a little less the upper started life as a CMMG stocker. No nickel boron treated BCG or DD barrel. Medieval flash suppressor, etc. Cheap is a relative term. I think my current goto gun was cost effective for what I want it to do. As far as sole source manufactured rifles vs. a self built firearm go for reliability I don't think if you take the time to study the subject and are thorough and meticulous that you'll wind with anything less reliable. You won't get what you pay for a nice build if you decide to sell it but I don't care. [/QUOTE]
