No problem....have my checkbook in front of me.

- add $3 for extended latch on charging handle
- add $15 for punch set

Total from Model 1 Sales = $547 ($517 for rifle and shipping, $30 tools)
Then all you need is a stripped lower receiver.......
Superior Arms stripped lower receiver from E & L Guns - $94 (free shipping)
This guy sells these stripped lower on Gunbroker all the time for a Buy It Now of $94 with free shipping. These are good quality lowers, they are well liked over on AR15.COM.
So I have $611 in the rifle total.....and it cost me $30 in tools to do the build. My FFL charged me $15 to transfer the lower.
I will use the tools over, no doubt......but if I bought them again I would NOT get the pivot pin removal tool. I thought this would be handy if I screwed the install up and had to remove the pin. The tool is lame.....its basically a small allen wrench, which I already have and did not cost $5.
I would even question buying the pivot pin installation tool - alot of people say this tool is VERY handy. I got to that part and just popped the pin in before I even remembered I had the tool. Maybe if your extremely clumsy you may need it.
Here is the finished gun - the build (if you can call it that) took about 45 minutes using the AR15.COM guide. It was VERY straight forward process and Im a no-skilled, ham fisted cobbler.
I was VERY excited after slapping it together and ran right out to shoot it - I neglected to lube it. Ran 3 magazines thru it with 2 failures to feed.
Today I went back out with 200 rounds after lubing the rifle. Ran 100% with 100 rounds of Remington and 100 rounds of Wolf.
Im going to chalk the first couple failures up to lack of lube.....Im an AK guy and I wasnt aware how important lube is with an AR. I never even thought about lubing the bolt and inside of the receiver......oh well, I guess I learned something new.
I use a MOUT sling setup for my AKs and shotgun.....I already have a few of the tails that attach to the gun laying around so I figured I would just smack one on this gun as well. Im a lefty when shooting rifles (right handed when shooting pistols but I only have the sight in my left eye so I cant shoot a rifle that way) so I grabbed a simple end plate with a loop, left handed. Bravo Company was where I ordered it.
Cost $19 shipped - I think the adapter was only $13, rest was shipping.
