Here we go again. Prices have come down a pretty good amount since I built my (first) last rifle, and deals are ridiculous right now if you are a green member (hint hint), that I've decided to have another go at it. Right now, my brother in law and I are in on the Aero Precision group buy, and I have been getting my build lists together and figuring out what I want to do.
I want to go cheap (read inexpensive), functional plinker style. I already have my "Cadillac" build with the QD build I did, so I'm trying to bare bones this one.
And with the deals going on right now, it doesn't seem like it's going to be too hard.
More to follow. Right now, I have my build under $720 (before shipping/transfer fees), with optics. There will be no iron sights, no red dot, but there will be a scope. Smooth free float hand guard. JP trigger springs. Possibly even a Stark pistol grip (that's up in the air though).
Every purchase has been sourced by groups that are all under $150, and may quite possibly get cheaper if I hit more sales (especially black Friday/cyber Monday). I'd love to get this mf under $700 including the shipping and transfer fees......
Right now, I have hit PSA up for the BCG/Charging handle combo sale ($89!) as well as the BLACKHAWK! lower parts kit ($29.99!), and the upper/lower will be arriving soon as well.......
This isn't going to be the safe queen that the other build may end up as, so it probably isn't going to be pretty...
