I built mine (just the gun) for around $535.00 with a RRA M4 upper and Stag lower. With the Aimpoint, mount, Surefire light, and rail system, and laser I spent about $1,582.00... I had stated $1,400.00 before but after adding up my costs it came out a bit higher.

 Personally I think you could jettison the railed forearm and vert grip and put the money towards an aimpoint ($300 ish from Eagle, though Troy Industries had some at the gunshow this weekend for about the same price). But with your stated design, I think you're about as low as you can go with new components. There is an A-1 style Cavarms rear sight that's around $ 50 that might trim off a few bucks. I saw one on an .50 Beowulf that Blackwater was surplusing out at a gunshow this weekend, the paint matched so it apparently went to Iraq and back without any problems. |

not quite an M4 but I saw CMMG getting rid of some used A1 upper w/11.5+5.5FH kits for around $350. Including the bolt & carrier(chromey), all the lower parts and a CAR stock. I really didn't have $350 to spare but if you got that deal with a $100 lower then you'd have a fully functional AR for around $450-$500.

You can't count that as free. You had to pay something for what you traded it for.

So you've broken an OKO or had an otherwise bad experience with them? |

I loved my OKO. Thought it was a great site. held zero great, very clear and sharp, and well worth the money I paid for it. Best bargain sight out there in my opinion.

Guy sold me a Bushmaster M4 A2 upper complete with bolt carrier etc for $100! By the time I get a $100 lower, use all the spare parts I have from other guns etc, I should have it done for under $300!!! That will probably never happen again so... Im sure you could do it with used parts from between $500 and $600 on average.

While this M4 is nowhere near the cheapest, I did pretty well on the parts (prices from memory, but pretty close): New (doesn't even have taper pin holes in the barrel, thus the PRI) Colt 14.5" M4 barrel "C MP 5.56 NATO 1/7 - $100 PRI flip sight - $125 DD 7.0 - $225 Aimpoint M2 with mount - $350 VLTOR buttstock - $135 complete LMT BUIS - $80 JP stainles tactical bolt/carrier with bolt - $150 PRI Gas Buster - $65 SPR Grip (came in a large lot of stuff that I have since parted out for a profit) - now FREE Bushy lower - $209 with LPK installed Vortex FH - $50 (the only part I really didn't get a deal on) For me the right place is the EE, and the right time is "almost always there". Now that's a pretty large sum of money in that rifle, but look at the retail prices of all the items listed and I've saved A TON of money on this build. Saved me over $550, by my crude calcs. Sighted it in yesterday and it shoots great. BTW, WTF is with these damn Aimpoint adjustment knobs!?!?!? WTF is "UP-Left/UP-Right"!?!?!? It took my forever to sight this in, just like last time. That's the second time I sighted this one in and I can't figure the damn things out.  |

The knobs are marked like that incase you mount your Aimpoint with the rheostat on the upper right side of the tube.
