What do you think...good deal on the Colt or should I get to building???

Also can you guys point me to some good resources on how to build one and a good place for parts if you think that is the avenue I should go.

Thanks Gents
Check out AR15.com for info and their equipmen exchange section. I'm finishing up a build of my own, and they've been a great resource.

I'd put $1500 in the ballpark for what Ive seen them going for, but prices are high and fluctuate a lot on all guns lately.

And building your own is not as difficult as one might think if youre mechanically inclined.
