Cost of my latest AR build (for reference)
For those here looking for information on building an AR here's my latest build and cost (I watch the sale pages on PSAs site, prices reflect what I paid at the time, not what they are now):
PSA Premium Upper: $279 Upper PSA Lower (this is the NOBAMA one, standard blem lowers are $59) $120 PSA Lower STR Build Kit ($125) LBK Link Charging handle: $17 BCM BCG: $150 BCM Link 15'' MI Gen2 Rail: $170 (LE/MIL discount price) Link YHM Low Pro Gas Block: $30 Total cost: $891 All prices are OTD. I had the sights sitting around in my parts bin but a set of MBUIS sights is $80-90. I'll also be selling my original front sight for $15-20. The big advantage to building it yourself is building it to your specs. If ya'll have any questions; let me know.

Very nice build. Solid parts list. Very good price.
I think my first build was a little higher than that but I included tools I had to buy. I built the upper too. Cost less buying a complete upper. Hope it shoots as good as it looks. Safe shooting. |

What advantage does the (?) long handguard give you?

When I fire while standing I like to get my support hand as far out as I can for control. It's not a make or break feature for me as I do have standard carbine length ARs as well but I feel I can control the rifle better the farther out I have my hand (while pulling it into my body). I have some 12'' rails that I think are just as effective for this as the 15'' but I like options especially since this handguard is so lightweight.
