Steve:
What part of Houston are you in? Maybe we could work it out where we could all hook up the out aggie friend would have a couple of different options to try out.
My AR is a former post ban with standard buttstock, standard A2 sights and carry handle, and A2 flash hider.
Carter's Country may be an option since it would be a bit closer for gigag04.

I love shooting my Bushmaster.
I too was contemplating building my own when a buddy of mine wanted to sell his to finance the purchase of a class 3 Uzi. He gave me a sweet deal.
Now that I have been shooting and cleaning the AR for a few months I believe that it wouldn't be very difficult to build up a stripped lower. It is a very versitile platform. Just think with just one lower you can purchase a few uppers and have several different rifles.
If you can wade through the fecal matter on ar15.com there are some very knowlegable people that post there. They also have several tutorials pertaining to building up a lower.
You can build one up slightly cheaper than buying a complete rifle, especially if your are looking ar RRA or Bushmaster. Just look around there are good deals to be had.
I am in Spring/The Woodlands, if you don't mind the short drive I wouldn't mind letting you look over my AR. Heck iffin yer nice I might even let ya shoot it. But, I am embarassed to admit that I am very low on AR ammo. Not counting the 2 loaded magazines, I only have about 100 rounds in stock.
The good news is that .223/5.56 is cheap, cheap, cheap. My rifle and I are not ammo snobs. We'll even shoot Wolf for about $2 a box.
Sorry about the long winded post, I think steve is rubbing off.
