My best Sub-$1,000 AR-15.
It is a home brewed rifle. The following is the what and how much. It started off with looking for a barrel. Samuse from this site PM'ed me with a offer for a very,very slightly used (200'ish rounds) 14.5 LW Middy barrel from Noveske. The barrel, pinned Vortex flash hider, FSB, gas tube, Magpul Moe guards, and nut were purchased for $230 shipped. (Thank you very much Sam) The barrel group came off a factory Noveske Skinny Moe. I still haven't gotten around to stripping the paint off the lower Moe guard. I had an upper and lower, but decided (what the heck) and got a Noveske matched upper and lower. $285. I had a take off CTR stock that I had bought for $45 bucks. A takeoff Ergo for $10. A Colt BCG and FCG I bought for $125 unused. A barely usedTLR-1 for $65. A barely used Aimpoint H-1 with ADM mount....$375. The following I just ordered from Brownell's; A DSA tube and Magpul BUIS for $18 and $44. BCM Gunfighter Medium for $41. Moe trigger guard..$7 Moe rail...$5 Ambi Safety I had laying around and forgot when/where/how much. Same with Forward Assist..but they run $10. Other parts I have laying around in bins. So for a total with out the light and Aimpoint is $820. (Hopefully I added it up right). If I would have just used an regular upper and lower I could have easily knocked off $130 for a total of $690. With the rifle, light, and Aimpoint........ $1260! I guess the moral of the story is .....if you search around and buy RIGHT you can put together one hell of a rifle. Carry around cash...and make offers on quality gear.

That's a pretty good build. Quite a steal on the Noveske barrel, too! Why couldn't I find an H-1 for that price when I was looking for optics?

That's a really nice build. I've had a stripped lower for a few months now and can't decide what I want to do with it. So many options and so little time/money!
