Just under $375 including sights and Flashcan. (I already had the magazine)

BUIS = BackUp Iron Sights

Putting an AR together is pretty easy. The lower requires a couple of punches, needle nose pliers, some masking tape, a small hammer, and little ingenuity.

Some specialized tools make the job a little easier but they are not absolutely necessary.

Watch several youtube videos and you'll figure out what works for you.

I'm in the middle of building one from Ceratac.

16" 1:8 kit for $290.00 (assuming they are still on sale) + Free Shipping
Forged American Pride blem lower that Runner Runner Guns had on sale for $30. Picked it up when I was in Dallas on business.
Trinity Force BUIS for $19.17 (inc. shipping and tax) from Ground Zero Clearance.

AR for just under $340.00. If you want Ceratac to build the upper for you add $24.00. Still well under $400

I'm not expecting this to be a high-end gun. This is going to be the equivalent of the gun pioneers kept over the door. Something that the wife or I can grab quick if a coyote is in the chicken house or if we have uninvited guests up to no good. We don't have to worry with it getting banged around.
