Last time on AR15-Z!
Here's the AR-15. Parts rundown:
- .223 bull barrel 24" - $200
- DPMS Bolt+Carrier+Charge handle - ~$150
- Del-Ton Lower - $225 (yes, I paid that much, dammit!)
- DPMS (and some Olympic parts) Lower Parts - ~$70
- DPMS Upper + Parts - $145
- Float Tube - $50
- A1 Butt Stock - $30
Total - $870. Not exactly saving money by building your own rifle during the current situation, but at least I learned how the thing functions. I don't think it was possible to buy a complete rifle for less than $600 in the past nine months but that's how much much a mix-'n-match like this is supposed to sell for. The 14X Scope (BSA) and Riser+5" Extension (Yankee Hill Machinery) cost $35 and $20 and I already had these two lying around so I didn't factor them into the total cost. I haven't had a chance to fire it and I don't think I want to. I think I may end up selling the upper since I already have a nice .223 T/C Contender Carbine. I didn't realize I wasted so much money on this 'till JUST NOW.
