Just finished the AR. I will be building a free floating fore grip later to match the 3 rail receiver since none are offered. Next step is to take it to the range and sight it in. Just don't know when that will be.

Ranger Black 6,
Thats a damn good lookin stick!

Is your intent CQB, mid, or long range ?

What'd it set you back? I'd really like to get myself one, not sure how to build one myself though. Nice job.

Thank you all, this was fun, I might have to do it for a living.

Little of all. That is why I went with the collapsible stock. It is a GP grab and go gun, and eventually I will put some form of real optics for the sligtly longer range part.

$159 for the DPMS triple rail upper
$150 for the striped Rock River lower
$70 for the guts for the lower
$129 for the DPTMS 6 rail free float
$99 for the 6 position butstock and SAW style grip.
$180 for front and rear sights.

I had the Bolt/Carrier group and Barrel (.223) so they got reused. I will be replacing them both in the future, just not sure when. I am sitting at +/-$787 right now. I will tell you that to do it all over again, I wouldn't get the 6 rail free float or the 3 rail upper. could have saved lots. Oh well, live and learn.

As far as building them, Brother I was a little skidish myself, but trust me, there is no reason to be. It is very easy, and there are lots of people that love helping.

DPTMS upper http://www.dpmsinc.com/store/products/?prod=1783
and a Rock River lower from a local gun shop.
