ive got about $1,200 to work with. ive really been eyeing the S&W M&PT, but im staring to wonder what i could build for that money. the M&P has what im looking for in an AR. one question i have is: how come most home builds dont hold there value very often?

im not just interested in holding the value. but its nice to knowits worth something. i wont buy a colt. no offence to colt owners, but for the price of a base colt i can get so much more in something else. I doubt it. A base colt is going for what, a grand or maybe 1100? That's dirt cheap. |

Quoted:
i dont want to drop $1,100 on a rifle that im going to spend another $500 in accessories on. i just never jumped on the colt bandwagon. You don't have to spend 500 dollars on accessories. Why would you think you have to spend more money? The base rifle plus a decent scope/red dot would be all you really need. |

well after looking around and listening to the pros here. i think im going to extend my budget a little. this is what im going to go with––––>MY SHOPPING CART and ill add one of their complete lowers as well. good choice? any input?

UPPER
BCG CHARGING HANDLE $1,084.00 SHIPPED + $360 FOR COMPLETE LOWER |

If it was me:
16" BCM Middie upper = $475 BCM M16 BCG = $160 BCM charging handle = $20 Spike's lower = $100 LPK = $75 Mil-spec buffer tube kit = $55 Magpul CTR stock = $90 Magpul MOE pistol grip = $20 This is $1000. Add a set of CavArms M4 style handguards and a LaRue BUIS, a good sling and sing mount, a couple Pmags, done for $1200. Then invest in an optic and you are done. If you are looking for a good setup on the cheap: CMMG 14.5" M4 with YHM phantom flash hider complete = $550 Same lower as above, with sling and mount = $400 LaRue BUIS = $90 Add some Pmags and your done for $1100. If you want an inexpensive setup: Bushmaster 14.5" M4 with YHM Phantom flash hider complete = $525 Same lower as above but minus Magpul hardware = $300 Daniels Defense BUIS = $55 Add some pmags and your done for = $925 |
