[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2709217, member: 29706"] I looked and by the time I found something off the shelf that was close to what I wanted to build it would have been around 1500 not to mention would have had some parts I still would have change like the pistol grip and would not have had the bull barrel I have, I built it for around 900 and could probably sell it for 1400 to 1500 easily, in fact had an offer that I didn't take at one point for that. But I also built with a lower that isn't a big "name brand" like spikes or sekins. Got the stripped upper free with the barrel I bought and waited till I could catch some stuff on sale. YMMV but I have had zero complaints from the people who have shot mine other than it's a heavy monster with the bull barrel on it and my step daughter as well as my wife want one just like it since there is nearly no recoil. I would say shop around and look for a few things that fit what you are wanting to build then start watching for sales. If you can't wait for a sale then you will pay more for the parts. I got my lower from aim surplus, upper and barrel from surplus arms, Lower build kit (blackhawk) from Palmetto state, gas block and tube as well as the handguard from brownells, and the foregrip from amazon. I also gathered parts for about 16 months before I finally put it all together. [/QUOTE]
