Aero Precision lowers. Ballistic advantage barrels. ALG rails (a subsidiary of Geissle, but not nearly as expensive), using shims rather than more complex timed installation. Rise Armament triggers. Holosun red dot. Mission First Tactical light stock. Fail Zero bolt carrier group. Simple flash hider muzzle device.
Shop holiday sales and blems/closeouts, be patient. Don’t have to do it all in a day. Get on the makers’ mailing lists.
Don’t forget tools. Magpul’s BEV block is a necessity.
Yes, I went with an engraved stripped lower which cost me 59.00 plus tax from the local Fleet Supply and a PSA build kit for 499.00 in .223 Wylde. So, without magazines the whole thing cost me right around 550.00 plus tax. Not bad, shots good, and I will eventually pick up a red dot for it and an additional pack of magazines from PSA.
