Ok, heres the list of parts need to build a complete lower and a complete upper. Listed are prices on the lower end of the cost spectrum. Can you use more expensive/less expensive parts? Of course. You can choose what ever parts you want or can afford. On the low end you should expect to spend from $700 to $1000, depending on a few part upgrades.
Heres the breakdown...
Stripped lower receiver $85
Lower parts kit $70
Collapsible buttstock assy. $100
Complete lower assy. $255
Now the upper I am going to price out will be just a standard M4 upper with handguards, no quad rail or anything fancy.
Upper assy. (includes dust cover assy. and forward assist assy.) $110
Bolt Carrier Group $90
Charging Handle $25
M4 barrel with front sight post, gas tube, barrel nut, A2 flash suppressor and delta ring assy. $280
Magpul MOE handguards $30
Magpul back up flip up rear sight $60
Complete upper assy. $595
Throw in a Magpul PMAG $15
Complete AR-15 rifle, ready to shoot $865
Now, you can find a few parts cheaper, but everything I have priced out, are parts I would use in my own personal builds. Some parts dont fit or perform as well, you just have to decide for yourself, if you want to save a few bucks, or spend a few more.
If anyone has any questions on where to find parts, or about certain parts, please post here, or PM me and I'll answer/discuss them.
I am looking forward to this, it should be fun...
Bill
