[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1364461, member: 4235"] Look at some of the prices on BCM uppers, in whatever length you prefer: [url]http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/AR15-Upper-Receiver-Groups-s/1.htm[/url] The prices on the ones that come sans handguards are pretty decent, and they are top-end quality... all made to true military specs with intensive QC. Some of them are going for $385, plus another $135 for their bolt carrier group and charging handle (which I recommend getting). Not too bad at all. I would buy a BCM upper and put it on a cheap lower. In fact, that's what I'm getting ready to do myself! Basically the upper is the firearm, and the lower is just there to drop the hammer. You can put together the lower by yourself if you want to save a little dough... it's pretty easy. I'm putting some MI-SS free float handguards on mine, but if you want to be cheap you could get some GI handguards for a pittance online. You would need sights or some form of optic, too. And then what you REALLY need to do is to bring it to an Appleseed marksmanship clinic, and we'll show you how to put that rifle to good use from field positions on the Army Qualification Test. That will only cost you $70 for a weekend, and it is by far the best money you can spend on your rifle. Especially if you're just getting into rifles from handguns... it would really pay to learn rifles the RIGHT way from the start. Links are in my sig. [/QUOTE]
