Looks like a pretty good deal to me.

The rifle is pretty clearly a homebuild, and it is the nature of homebuilds to be worth less than the sum of their parts. However, this one looks like it was built by somebody who chose good parts- Magpul, Troy, and Sabre are good companies who make good stuff. It isn't loaded down with lowball parts like a UTG rail or a no-name barrel- signs that the builder was cutting corners. I'd be interested in knowing who made the BCG (bolt carrier group); when it comes to reliability, the quality of the BCG is way up there in importance, but I'd be surprised if it was a cheapo. A high quality BCG is only about $20 more than a cheapo.

Then there's the optic.

I'd say you got a good deal- if it shoots, you're good.
