You can build a perfectly functional and accurate rifle without breaking the bank.

Anderson Upper and lower receivers, with parts upper and lower parts will get you as close as possible to a USGI setup without a tax stamp and for less than $200.

I like the stock USGI or the Magpul MOE handguards - Both are inexpensive - <$50.

Then you just need:

Delta ring kit, which is $10 at Midsouth shooters supply
Barrel nut - $5
Front handguard ring - $4
Gas tube - $12
Gas block - varies
Gas block pin $1
Buffer tube (rifle or carbine)
Buffer spring (rifle or carbine)
Buffer (rifle or carbine, various weights)
Buttstock (fixed or collapsible)

Then the front and rear sights you prefer.
