So I started this journey with the intent to build the cheapest but battle ready AR-15 that I could. I Ended up adding and upgrading more than originally planned. Overall I think I got much more out of it than what I paid and it performs flawlessly.

Very nice. Seems to be good quality parts and at $1250, I would say that is pretty good.

Good looking rifle

Nice. Can you post a couple more pics of the full gun? Thinking of building something very similar.

Nice stick. You did well.

How's it shoot?

Looks great!  Great job finding the best bang for the buck!

Here are some additional close up pics. I've put around 500 rounds of various brands to include steel cased and so far it has performed flawlessly.
