And that doesn't include pmags, or some tools I bought to help assemble the lower (stock wrench, spring loaded center punch). Shit adds up fast, but this is a quality AR15 and I feel I got what I paid for. I have 820 flawless rounds through it, and I've only had it put together for a month. It is a nice shooter. But you can see how I would be closer to $3000 if I bought the Aimpoint T1 or H1 that I wanted with a good LaRue mount or an American Defense mount. I am saving for my wedding, so I had to limit myself for now.
Updated with a pic of my other expensive pistol...not quite $2000, but I thought it was expensive at the time. That was before I got $2200 deep into an AR build. Hahaha. The AR has 820 rounds through it with only one Failure to Fire, caused by a shitty primer in a Remington UMC round. It basically blew fire out the back instead of the front of the round. The HK P30 has 3115 rounds through it, and has only had 4 Failure to Fires, all caused by primers that were set too deep in Aguila (Remington of Mexico) ammunition. All 4 rounds fired upon a second strike. Needless to say, I'm becomming not a big fan of Remington Ammunition's budget lines...I prefer to shoot Federal / Lake City / American Eagle. It is relatively clean, relatively inexpensive, and has never given me any problems.
