Its a good question, prdatr1
It has been done before but you may get some new input. Here are some of the others to date...........How much invested in your AR? Here was my entry................................ favorite AR was ~$1,000. Most expensive one would be an M4gery at around $3,000.. Guess it would rate favorite, now that I think of it. ($$) This one below also ranks..  Colt LE6920---- $1,000 ACOG TA31-----$975 ARMS 19s-------$100 ARMS 40L-------$110 LMT/SOPMOD---$200 MagPul TG-------$20 Hogue Grip------$25 PRI Latch--------$20 IDF Sling--------$35 HK Mag----------$45 Drool Cup-------$.25 Total------ $2,530.25 Plus ammo |

I don't think I have much more than $2k in any one AR.
Now, if you'd said "ARs" in your question...

Nice A4gery, WIZZO. would you recommend a factory rifle or a build for a standard 20"er? I tend to be a carbine guy but am determined to have a stock 20 A4. yours looks good, and frankly I cannot decide whether it is worth the premium to me to have factory matching components or not I guess I am asking whether your 20 has proven dependable. |

I recomend building because you can still pick the parts you want. It just so happens that I wanted to use RRA parts becaues they are a local company with a good reputation. I bought all these parts (except for the upper assembly) separately, but made sure that they were all for Rock River, just because that's what I wanted. It totaled out to be about $790 total, but the retail prices would have been much more than that. Basically, I have a RRA A4 (which you can get for about $765) but I also have the detachable carry handle for only, when relating to the price you can get the rifle for, $25. I'm really happy with it, and it had on of two FTF's when I (actually when my dad wanted to shoot it, but I think he must be bad juju  ) other than that, it has been a great shooter, but I need a taller front site because it's up quite a bit above the flat part of the FST.I only feed it Wolf, and clean after every two shooting sessions, and it hasn't hiccuped on me since breaking it in.

This is my only AR, I know sad.
But I have put everything into it, to be the most versitle, accurate and dependable I could. I have had this rifle about 6 years so have had a lot of time to get it where it is. Although there are many like it, This One is Mine. prdatr1 |

The 3 I have right now total about 5200, but I've prob had about 10k in ARs over the course of the past few years. One is going through a slight change of purpose, which is causing me to do more shopping
. There's also some extra "stuff" lying around...like VLTORs and assorted other things. Some of my ROTC buddies are getting afflicted w/ BRD, and others just stare like I'm a circus freak...I guess there's a reason one some 19 year olds don't have cars.I GUESS YOU COULD SAY TOO MUCH.  |

Bushy 14.5" M4 upper w/ Phantom (from GSE, back in the day)
RRA lower, 6-pos, and partks kit (from ADCO) Chopped Carry Handle Aimpoint M2 (eBay, a steal at $289) Arms #22 M68 mount & cantilever spacer (from MSTN) GG&G Sling Thing (from AR15-L member) Giles Sling (gunshow) All together, ~1500 The rest of 'em have had parts added/removed/swapped so many times I can't keep track of what I paid for what. The cheapest is probably the XM16E1 clone cobbled together from eBay/EE parts -- probably about $650 in it, and it runs like a champ. |

The total for my M4gery was roughly $3700 if my math is correct. Not counting Mags, Ammo, sling and other minor stuff. In the process of getting to this final config I went through easily another 2K in different optics, lights, accessory and trigger options but that was all sold to aquire the final choices and was not figured into the total.
