ar pistol builders, how much have you spent?

[lee2]

so i'm collecting my parts for my build and the numbers keep going up and up.
what have you guys and gals spent on your builds?

 

[TxAggie]

I just started a 9mm pistol build.
$199 CNMG 9mm lower
$37 LPK minus trigger
$93 Trigger
$70 buffer tube, spring and buffer
And I realized today I need a trigger guard for the lower.

Pricing out the upper (nothing purchased yet)
$200 9mm 5" barrel
$120 upper
$200 9mm BCG
$120 Sig Brace
Hand guard: still looking
Muzzle device: still deciding

So it looks like I'll have about $1k into it once I'm done. (Holy cr@p, I shouldn't have added this up!)

 

[lee2]

yea i'm pretty close to 1K and havent gotten everything yet!

 

[BradMacc82]

When I had a AR-pistol, spent more than I probably realized.

Noveske 12.2" 300BLK barrel
YHM 30 cal suppressor mount
Weapon outfitters qd shield
BCG (can't remember if that was a JoeBob's or Wilson Combat)
Stripped upper and build kit
YHM Diamond rail (rifle length)
BCM Ambi gunfighter handle

That's just the upper. The lower is where I really spent some money.

 

[Speed3]

I don't want to add it up....I spent WAY too much.

 

[ibanez320dx]

Im currently in the $1,000 range. The above pic is it mocked up a month or so ago. At this point I've bought everything except the buffer, spring and charging handle. These things always seem to cost way more than originally planned.

 

[4095fanatic]

I started with a $500 range toy concept... It has quickly turned into a $1,000 future SBR.

 

[Alphabrew]

$100 for the PSA lower, $60 for CMMG LPK, $70 for phase 5 buffer, $125 for sig brace, $400 for the complete upper from PSA with free shipping. I'm at $755 for a basic one, ouch. Should have just got another 6721 instead!

My numbers are almost identical. My lower is built, just need a 9mm buffer. The only thing I have for the upper is the BCG

So what are you going to do?

 

[Oldcarjunkie]

So what are you going to do?

Told them I'd think it over, I'm debating on keeping the 16" in 300blk since I already have a few 16" Ar's in 5.56. My only issue is since I don't reload yet, I know these will get shot very little due to ammo cost.
Is there any " Pro" reasons you guys can think of to keep the both besides the fact that the 300blk upper costs more than the 5.56 so if I sold I'd prob get a few extra dollars.

I would take is as fate that the 16" 300 was meant to be with you.

Also, you mentioned you had other 16" 5.56 AR's so how much were you going to shoot this new one anyway? Are you looking at suppressors for 300/308 yet?

 

[Pinecone]

I REFUSE to add up the costs.

 

[Speed3]

I REFUSE to add up the costs.

back of the envelope.... I've got $1,650 tied up with no optics.

OUCH hahahaha...better be super fun to shoot

 

[cow goes mooo]

I have spent roughly $463 thus far:

CMMG LPK $62
Radical Arms Pistol Buffer Kit $51
Spike's Tactical Punisher Lower $130
Harden Arms 7.5 5.56 Upper $220

Still need the following:
Charging Handle
Front Sight
Rear Sight
AFG
BCG

I am budgeting for the total build around $800.
