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

I could build the best one for under a grand. Of course, that's trading vintage dirt bike parts I bought in the early 90's to my gun buddy.....
 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.

But seriously - $1200 to $5000 depending on your choices |

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,
