Sound good to me. Would it be posible to put up a parts list with a target price for each part? It doen't necessarily have to be on the money but just give us an idea of what we are looking at as a whole.

Ok, heres the list of parts need to build a complete lower and a complete upper. Listed are prices on the lower end of the cost spectrum. Can you use more expensive/less expensive parts? Of course. You can choose what ever parts you want or can afford. On the low end you should expect to spend from $700 to $1000, depending on a few part upgrades.
Heres the breakdown... Stripped lower receiver $85 Lower parts kit $70 Collapsible buttstock assy. $100 Complete lower assy. $255 Now the upper I am going to price out will be just a standard M4 upper with handguards, no quad rail or anything fancy. Upper assy. (includes dust cover assy. and forward assist assy.) $110 Bolt Carrier Group $90 Charging Handle $25 M4 barrel with front sight post, gas tube, barrel nut, A2 flash suppressor and delta ring assy. $280 Magpul MOE handguards $30 Magpul back up flip up rear sight $60 Complete upper assy. $595 Throw in a Magpul PMAG $15 Complete AR-15 rifle, ready to shoot $865 Now, you can find a few parts cheaper, but everything I have priced out, are parts I would use in my own personal builds. Some parts dont fit or perform as well, you just have to decide for yourself, if you want to save a few bucks, or spend a few more. If anyone has any questions on where to find parts, or about certain parts, please post here, or PM me and I'll answer/discuss them. I am looking forward to this, it should be fun... Bill |

Im hoping we can have a chat-box that will allow some interaction with all the class members and mimber (if
![]() From a selfish standpoint, I would like to learn the what and why's of all the various parts, different manufacturers, and little tid-bits that will help me understand them more completely. The fun part would be taking our time and going one piece at a time and at the end a new rifle! The duration would depend on the interest and discussion depth. This would be open discussion and not debate. Whoever the professor will be (man i hope somebody will step to the plate) will be the "expert" opinion. I have seen that AR Opinions are like the crucible of opinions and this could get bogged down quickly.
