[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2820458, member: 9374"] If you want to make a trip, I can help you put it together. Basically, you need a quality forged lower, whatever brand and rollmark suits your fancy ($40-100 max). Then a decent lower parts kit ($40-60 max). Quality stripped or complete upper receiver (again, max $100. Not a complete upper, just an upper receiver with forward assist and port door). Barrel - 16" is a good starter, unless you want a purpose-built with a longer or shorter barrel. Another $100-200 absolute max, for a basic barrel. Free-float rail - $120-250, depending on what you want. Buffer tube kit (<$50). Buttstock ($25-100). Low profile gas block ($25-40). Muzzle device ($20-50). Bolt carrier group ($100-200). Charging handle ($10-20) Choosing high-end parts from that list above puts you just over 1k, and that would be one great rifle. Again, on the high end of those prices. You can get really good quality stuff and easily save $300-400 off that, easily. That doesn't include optics, which is a whole other discussion. [/QUOTE]
