New Frontier Armory LW-15 Lower: $109.99 (yeah, I sell them, not like that's a secret )
And this upper from JSE Surplus: http://www.jsesurplus.com/custom16hbarm ... 1-2-2.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (they're out of stock now, but it gets refreshed weekly).
Presto! Complete AR-15 for UNDER $500.
I built one of these and the only issue i had was the lower must be fit to the upper. OH and mine was a first gen if you have had one you would know what im talking about. the new ones , or second gen are all fixed. You still have to fit them to the upper by taking a small diamond file and filing down the lower at the points were the upper gets pined into the lower.
my build came out around $700, but i used some high end stuff were it counts. Also hit up the pawn shops I find great deals on all kinds of gun stuff that way, mags, scopes, holsters, you name it.
