Quoted: I love the looks. But i'd use a A2 stock set so that they learn to be good with something they cant customize. That way they can get even better with something they CAN customize
BTW, what was your guesstimated overall build cost?

Good point on the A2 stock. My only hesitation is the fact that I've let eleven year old kids shoot my rifles, and having the adjustable stock is about mandatory for them. I'm hitting another gun show this weekend, maybe they'll have some more deals on A2s.
Regarding cost, remember I went cheap;
BM receiver set - market price, you would do much better with RRA prices
LPK - collected individually from gunshows, other builds, donations, etc. Probably $50
Bolt carrier group - DPMS chrome lined, brand-new from JSE Surplus - $104
Barrel parts - again, collected individually. Probably $25
Barrel - Model 1 Sales - $180
Buttstock - JSE Surplus - $30
