Hey Guys!  This is my first build so I wanted to keep track of the funds and show a few pics.  Here is the first after I finished the lower last night.

So far:
Spikes Stripped Lower - $79
FFL Transfer Fee - $15
PSA Lower Build Kit - $125
PMag - $18

I really enjoyed putting everything together last night.  I get the felling that this is going to get really addictive!  

I will add more when I get it all put together.  I will probably order my upper already complete so this is a partial build I guess you would call it.  
Let me know what you think.

Yes, it will be a 16" middy upper by Spikes. I plan on it being in this stage for another week or so, i hope

Alright guys the build got finished up last night.  I put the upper on the lower that I built then put the MBUS on and went out and shot 40 rounds.  I didn't have to adjust a thing.  Put a target out at 40 yards and put about 30 rounds in group the size of a golf ball.  This thing is impressive and Spikes is top notch.

So here are the final totals:
Spikes Stripped Lower - $79
FFL Transfer Fee - $15
PSA Lower Build Kit - $125
PMag - $18
Complete Upper - $495
MBUS - $54

Everything in the picture below totals $786 - Not bad at all in my eyes.  I couldn't believe how well it shot.  I have put the MBUS back one more notch since these pics were taken. Cell phone pic quality
