I think I have around $1100 in it including glass. Initial cost was about $700.

From different MFG's? That's an impressive degree of standardization for aftermarket equipment.Indy wrote:To start off, I went with a Tactical Innovations 7075 billet lower.
Got a Larue Stealth billet 7075 upper to go along with it:
Fit is very tight.

What's wrong with a machined forging? Nobody fully machines them as though they were connecting rods?
This last saturday I spent some quality time with a friends .38 Special and .44 Mag S&W big frame revolvers. Not sure which models...Fun shooting though, love the .44 Magnum :afrocool:DiggityBiggity wrote: Very nice AR.. that's my next rifle purchase after I pick up a sweet little Smith and Wesson revolver :thumbleft:
I would LOVE to have an AK...Would be a good gun to have in case of total anarchy and madness.Kohburn wrote:cool deal man - I also had a little "black gun fever" and bought an AK clone and started stocking up on ammo.
got a new thumbhole stock, foregrip, and red-dot scope for my shotgun and a new grip for my handgun
Indy wrote:Alright...Figured I'd start this thread to chronicle the buildup of a new AR for those that are interested (Diggity). Kind of a long-term thing. I now have incurable black rifle fever. The first one I built ended up with a 24" barrel and weighs 13lbs. Accuracy is now about 1/4 MOA on a very good day. That's 4-5 bullet holes overlapping each other @ 100 yards.

Was probably an Aimpoint, Trijicon ACOG, or equivalent. Those Trijicon's are sex but go for like $800 at minimum. Most of the Aimpoints are cheaper, but still $$$.crzyone wrote:I've shot my father in-laws AR plenty of times, I love those guns. We can get them in Canada amazingly but I'm not much of a gun collector. My wife is American so whenever we go visit we load up a bunch of bullets and go out shooting.
We were shooting the caps off of coke bottles at over 150 yards, good times.
Not sure what they are called but he has a site on it that doesn't maginify much but had a nice little red dot when you look through the site. Makes for wicked fast point and shoot. He also has a scope for it but I prefer the red light sight.
