[QUOTE="AtomicTango, post: 3837730, member: 24556"] Honestly, you won't save much (or any) money buying new piece parts and assembling them vs buying a complete rifle. So if your goal is cost savings, just pick up a used AR from the classifieds or something. I've done plenty of PSA builds, and they are just ok. I recommend moving up to something like Aero. If your goal is the experience of building and being able to tailor every component, then invest in some tools, fire up youtube, and go for it. Its fun and rewarding and you'll never stop thinking about further customizations. The middle ground between these is going with the barreled upper, and doing the rest yourself. You'll save on tools up front and still have some input on what the final product will be. Then, if you like, you can go for upper assembly later when you feel the itch to change everything up.
