did another 'cheap' build for another beater to go along with the dissipator from some spare parts etc

 

psa lower

spikes upper

woa lpk

lwrc battle trigger

melonited 1/7 16" barrel

kg gun coating  OD

melonited gas tube

nib bcg 9310 bolt

 

waiting on new brake (cav arms)

 

mag is blocked in case anyone wonder....

 

very nice. what do you estimate the total cost was if you don't mind me asking?

less than 500 to include the paint....

 

-I shop the EE for good deals for instance, my spikes ch only cost $10 new

-the barrel I got from aim for 99 to inlude the fsb, barrel nut...it's the mossberg and they ran out of stripped ones and they offered me that one.  Its not high end but the reviews I did find seemed good and for 100, melonited 556 chamber in 1/7 twist is a steal no matter how you put it.

-nib is from aim for 99 as well

-upper and lower were blems and I knew I was painting them each cost less (lower was with others so overall cheaper with transfer) and the upper was 40 shipped but I had extra kit for it etc..

 

less than 500

I'm putting it through it's paces tomorrow with 5-600 rounds with various firing parameters I use to test and break in new builds that I do when I make a rifle like this.  I'll use various ammo too

That looks awesome!  Really nice job, especially for the money.

this is why you build a gun... 

thanks...rear sight was something sitting around and will probably put a arms 71l rear sight on it so that will be another 40ish 

 

truth be told, the only non quality parts are the stock and barrel and if I can get a 1.5-2moa out of the barrel I'm happy on this one.  I will change the stock so that will bump the cost too....

equipment exchange.. both here.. and places like ar15.com...

like vlad said, ar15.com

 

moa is minute of angle.  if you shoot 1"moa then you are hitting your shots within in a 1" hole at 100 yards. 

my next build is going to be an all black rifle with fortis brake, ch, and trigger in ss....should be a nice contrast.  will use a 14.5 barrel with longer rail to cover all but the brake....

changing it up....bought a new barrel and will put some new handguards on so my price point is gonna get shot through like a nice 5 shot grouping.  will post pics when done
