My last thread has me thinking about build costs for a suppressed SBR. Not sure how much of a response I'll get here, but I'd like to see who can build the most tier one rifle (bs term I know  , but using it for the sake of this post) for the least amount of money. Basically balancing quality and cost. Rules are it has to include a ff handguard, optic, light, trigger, suppressor, and the price of two tax stamps. I'm just looking for a list of parts and current prices. It's just for fun and because I'm curious to see what comes out of it. If you're not bored enough, no worries

Amazing what some of that stuff is worth these days.....

There is no such thing as Tier 1 budget. You have to pay to play my friend and I'm sure those guys wouldn't cheap out on their gear. But since you want an answer I can only give you half. I just haven't acquired a supressor yet. I have no idea what I've spent so far but assuming around $2400 with all expenses like gunsmith fee, taxes, FFL transfers, shipping, etc.
Here is my setup: 12.5" barrel. A Surefire X300 weapon light sits where the empty rail space is at, just not on at the moment.

1.) go to the MK18 Thread (click here)
2.) Find a gun you like and ask the owner what it cost them. |

Isn't Building the best gun possible for the least amount of money what everyone does perpetually on a constant basis? I don't see the point of your post. Participation is not mandatory, I promise 
The point is that I'm genuinely curious what people come up with at what price points. This is a completely different exercise than actually building a rifle because in real life people are constrained by money - they may want a suppressed SBR but cannot afford to actually build one. |

When it comes to building my rifles lowest cost is not what I'm looking for. I want quality and quality cost $. Good luck with your challenge though. |
Fuck, some threads were never meant for GD. I guess it's inappropriate to ask for a list of build parts balancing quality and price in tech - that is a sacred space reserved for hard hitting questions such as "are Walmart Colt 6920s really built in China?" and "how much shorter is a 14.5" barrel than a 16" barrel?". Since I can't beat em, I'll join em and present my next tier one build:
Edit: thanks for the couple of genuine responses though

Just have to keep an eye on the EE. I got a screaming good deal on a brand new upper for a pistol/sbr build ~$300 off if I bought everything separate
If it takes a year or so to complete a build getting deals out of the EE I'm fine with that,
