Most expensive is about $1800 least expensive was about $658, but I'd have a hard time reproducing that price. Everything was on sale, used, bought form someone who won it at a match, blemished, or some other thing that caused it to be discounted significantly.

Yikes. My main is very similar but I have an eotech EXPS-2 and a vortex magnifier on it. I probably broke 2k on that one then.

 

The other got a $200 trigger, $250 glass and a (used) DD free float rail and raptor recently as well.

 

I liked it better when I didn't know how much I spent.

How do you like the PSA M4 blem upper?  I have seen them on PSA's websight and was thinking about getting one.

I kept a spreadsheet during the build. Mainly for my own knowledge, doing things smarter/cheaper on the second build, etc.

 

16" mid-length complete upper (Accessory Arms: 1:7 CL/CHF, lo-pro gas block, FSC556 pinned/welded, no handguards/delta ring) - $560

Centurion C4 12" - $280

Spikes lower (LGS) - $120

FailZero NiB BCG - $180

Spikes ST2 buffer - $30

Geissele SSA - $180

Magpul UBR - $250

Magpul MIAD - $30

Troy Tritium DOA BUIS - $220

Magpul AFGv2 - $30

ACOG TA-31H - $1000

 

$2700 before mags, ammo, light, mount, sling, case. Including that stuff (but not including ammo) I'm probably within spitting distance of $3500.

I haven't received it yet, but most have good things to say about their products.  Just don't be in a hurry for anything from them.

I didn't really build mine, but it's fast approaching the 2K mark.

Holy crap dude, did you have to refinance your house to get that? lol jk, just out of curiosity because ill never have the funds to justify getting one how do you like the ACOG? Do you think its worth extra 4-500 over other optics like aimpoint or eotech?

i will be adding to my list soon

C'mon bro just jump in and buy a Noveske already.

Glass on the acog is very clear and the reticle is very easy to pick up while moving and at distance. At the range last week we were hitting a 3" steel disc consistently at 200yds with ease. I even had a new shooter hit it consecutive times.

 

The acog isnt perfect but is def worth the money.

C'mon bro just jump in and buy a Noveske already.

All jokes a side my Noveske rifle is my favorite ar and I shoot better with it than my bcm, dd, and colt.

My problem with the Acog is that it is much slower at close distances then variable or a dot.

Thankfully no refinancing necessary! It wasn't too tough to swallow, because I only bought stuff when the wallet allowed. It took some time, but I used the downtime to do research and stuff so when it finally was all done, I was 100% satisfied. 

 

I love my ACOG, but YMMV. But comparing a magnified ACOG to a EoTech or an Aimpoint isn't apples to apples. Different purposes. (And by the time you put a good magnifier and mount on your AR to get magnification with an Eo or Aimpoint... you'll be in ACOG price range anyway.)

 

Yeah a fixed magnification optic is slower in close than a red dot optic. But I didn't build this AR for close quarters.

 

It all really depends on what you're building the AR for, what purpose. That will define your gear.

C'mon bro just jump in and buy a Noveske already.

No, I need to stop lol. I just emptied my "toys" account on optics because the EOtech group buy fell apart. Well I ordered a few other things too.

My .308 gasser that I built with optic cost $5000.00

 

My field bag with all the tools, not including spotter, another $1000.00 easily. Now that I have it dialed in, it's a real shooter. 100y zero, sub .5moa no problem, should get 3 all touching. Very Quick hold over drill with zero elevation from 300y-475y spread out, stupid easy. 600m cold bore shot, ring! 705y quick follow up from a first round hit, ring ring! 1000y shot as long as I read the wind changes, ring!

 

Anyone who says a gasser can't hang, let me know.

Shoot,if your gonna pay 6k for it it better be ringing the plates at 1000 yards haha. Seriously though, if I am going to drop 6k on a toy its going to be a bike.

Does it count if you buy a carbine and replace everything?
