n4p226r 105 Posted April 8, 2014 more than $2k but less than $3k with micro t1 and mount. the truth is i don't really know. i did buy the lower right after sandy hook and paid a small fortune for it. when i added everything up last time, it was weird, because i came out only slightly more expensive than if i ordered it from the factory. and the factory rifle wouldn't have had a geissele trigger or ambi safety. so really the only difference is i didn't have a spare safety or gi trigger. my second build so far has been $140 for stripped upper $170 for lower $130 for colt lower parts $70 for bad-cass $180 for Geissele SSA $150 for colt A2 stock and colt forged receiver and buffer and spring (all colt) $180 for BCG $45 for charging handle $30 for grip i figure i have left $500 barrel $270 rail $200 iron sights $240 scope mount $1650 optic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MandM 2 Posted April 9, 2014 Yep... if you end up putting good glass on top... that usually ends up being the most expensive part of the build. I didn't feel too bad about my build until I bought the ACOG and added that to the total. Then, after a minor heart attack, I loaded it into the truck and spent almost 2 hours at RTSP with it. Sighted it all in, function check, and then just lots of fun slinging lead downrange. (And, to give them a huge thumbs up, they let me finish my second hour with no rush or hurry... even though it ended up being almost 20 minutes AFTER closing time.) After range time... I didn't think about the money spent again. (Well... until this thread popped up.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
