Overall this was rather inexpensive build – grand total I only have roughly $800 bucks sunk into it (including shipping it to a receiving FFL to my father in Arizona today)…
Both the upper and lower were painted and then baked at 250 degree for about an hour w/ VHT silicone ceramic brake caliper paint. This may sound a little weird and not very sexy, but VHT brake caliper paint, if applied correctly, makes for a very, very durable and attractive finish. http://www.vhtpaint.com/caliperpaint.html Anyway to answer your question… The upper is a TNW from Centerfire System ($69-): http://www.centerfiresystems.com/arup-a3stripped.aspx The lower is from Aim Surplus, a “Surplus Arms & Ammo – LOW15” ($59-): http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=F1SASL&groupid=53 |

$500 complete CMMG 1:7 4150 CMV 14.5" barreled upper with pinned/welded YHM 5c2 Phantom flash hider on the end.
The stripped lower I got from a local Montana company in Kalispell (SI Defense) so I'd have a "Montana Made" weapon in case Montana gets away with it's firearm freedam act thing...Anyway, $50 for the stripped SI Defense lower. Daniel Defense: LPK and Stock assembly. Magpul: CTR stock, ASAP sling adapter, ASAP sling, MOE handguard with two rail accessory attachments, five 30rd pmags, vertical grip for MOE handguard, MBUS rear flip-up sight, trigger guard Ergo grip KZ light mount (going to KZ bay lug mount for light so I can move VFG forward more) Olight M30 Triton 700 lumen light with separate strobe button on the side NCStar 5mw green laser (tape switch is in garbage if you want it) Primary Arms M3 clone RDS in PA high cantelever mount...waiting for a 5x magnifier from PA as well to complete the ensemble. Trijicon AR15 tritium front and rear sights. I removed the plastic dual aperture sight from the rear MBUS and put the tritium one in and it works great..even through the optic. From stripped reciever, installing LPK and stock, then accessories took a good 90 minutes from boxes to firing! 
And with a PA microdot RDS which I exchanged for the M3 so I could get a cowitness from the BUIS:

Here's my first AR. After trolling this site for a few years and seeing all the different configurations, I decided that what I liked best was the KISS carbines. I reserved the tacticool rails, optics, etc for my SBR. So my first build consists of the following:
-Denny's Guns Subdued Billet Lower w/ RRA single stage LPK with ambi safety -KNS trigger pins -BCM 14.5" upper with pinned A2x flash hider, BCM handguards -BCM bolt carrier group -BCM carry handle -Magpul CTR stock w/ BCM "H" buffer -Magpul MOE grip -BCM Gunfighter MOD4 charging handle Assembling the lower was a little tricky, as I could not get the bolt release fitted without using a dremel to remove some material from the bottom of the lever, as it was too long to fit in the slot machined in the lower. Also pictured is the rest of my paltry collection: Sig556 SBR, Springfield TRP with full rail, and Walther PPS. I think my next purchase will be another 9mm handgun (Glock 19, Beretta M9A1, or M&P9) and a shotgun.

built this rifle 1.5 years ago, added the Magpul RVG last week. before the RVG i have been shooting the shit out of the rifle as it is.
got back into the build recently, and have decided to change it up a little, and finally decided that i am good enough with my iron sights to be able to pickup an aimpoint. i want to add: aimpoint ml3 2moa larue lt150 mount magpul xtm FDE rail covers bcm gunfighter charging handle (medium) and maybe a adam's arms piston conversion, w/ a troy HK style front battle sight.

Also, mag is a C-Products from AIM, foliage green pmags arrive with the AAC. |

Couple of updates to mine. Had to get a new barrel (long story, just don't buy ANYTHING from blackthorne). Picked up a DEZ Eliminator barrel and a DoubleStar Dragon compensator. Decided to put it together with my customized RIA (Kimber stainless upgrades, cocobolo grips and new sights) and get some new pics.

Everything fit up fine for me. I have a new BCM upper on the way to get rid of the one that I got from blackthorne. Eventually I'm going to get is all duracoated to the same shade and texture of black. |

Eventually I'm going to get is all duracoated to the same shade and texture of black. Congrats, overall it looks like a nice job! The two main "Oops’" in mine were my magazine’s button hole was a little "tilted" by 1 or 2 degrees (I think that’s ShARps / Delaware Machine’s claim to fame, because I think that Delaware Machine milled them all that way… Hmmm, Oops... ) and my buffer tube yoke hole was off-center, just slightly, but not enough to interfere w/ the bolt carrier’s travel up and down the tube… … I have to admit, I do gravitate towards the lesser known, and lesser priced, lowers because they can be somewhat idiosyncratic which makes them a little more fun and challenging to put together...
Post more pics when you get your “non-Blackthorne” upper in and duracoated!… |

Wow... Just came across some old pics from a year ago of my son shooting his first build - It's amazing to see what they can come up with when you give them some free reign on choosing how they want it to look. i think he did good, not my taste, but he likes it. PLUS more important, keeps his interest up. Anyway the pics.
He named it "the beast!!!
