Around $425:
$350 for the CAR kit at the Gun Show $ 69 for the stripped DPMS lower from an independent local FFL Timeline of 1992-1994, built 'em while watching TV on layoff and sold for $550- $600. The Colts were about $699 & up back then. I still have two complete DPMS builds and I consider them freebies. Nowadys I buy the complete lower for $280- $300 and the complete upper for $350 - $450 for a total of $630 -$750. Usually Bushmaster or RRA. |

Here's the parts list:
Superior Arms stripped lower-$80 RRA LPK-$50 RRA 6 position stock-$70 DPMS Bolt/carrier-$100 (all of these parts were bought from Robert from RB Precision locally) M16A2 upper assembly off gunbroker-$308 shipped. For some reason, I really like the feel of it. Since it's a gov't profile barrel under the handguards, it is still very light and swings very well. It's also been dead-nuts reliable with it's 100% Wolf diet  .WIZZO |

I built one for $377 it is a 20" SP1 Colt upper and Superior Arms blem lower I got it all but the lower from the EE boards.
I am currently working on an M4 for a freind that is almost done and he has around $224 in it and all he needs now is a bolt/carrier/charing handle then its done. I also got a start on a another one for myself that i have a striped lower for and a Colt A2 upper with an 20" Gov. profile that i have $225 in so far also. I also have an M4 that i have $520 in it that just not all together yet. So it can be done if you look around. Here is my $377 SP1  |

I've done 2 under $200, but it was a matter of knowing the right people and being at the right place at the right time. This was about 1.5-2 years ago. I'll get up a pic in a bit.

All this talk of cheap AR builds makes me happy, because:
A.) I want to put together an AR (been doing some research on and off this site for awhile now) B.) I'm a poor college student with little/no money (school + bills makes me he I just need to save a little bit, buy myself a stripped lower and then let the fun begin. I'm counting down the days until my birthday. Oh, first post. Hey guys |
