Nice rifle! May I ask what a rig like that costs as is?

The rifle was $949, it came with 2 magazines, shoulder sling, cleaning kit and hardshell case. I added the rails, foregrip, ERGO handgrip, red-dot scope, 2 extra magazines and 200 rounds of ammo for an additional $400 or so.

Hey guys, I've been wanting a BUG for quite some time, and had been thinking about the Ruger LCP, but now the LC9 is out and I really like that, but have yet to handle it. Has anyone seen this gun in person or had the opportunity of firing one?

You could buy a stripped lower from a shop for about a hundred bucks, then buy a parts kit from www.del-ton.com or the like for about six hundred bucks with the rail and chrome lined barrel and put it together yourself. You just have to assemble the lower, it's really not hard. It's a little bit of work but you can save some money.

I seriously considered that. But in the end I did not want to build my first AR. I am already collecting parts from upgrading this. So when the time comes, I will build the second one.

Yea, I figure about $450 for a complete barreled upper, $100 for a stripped lower, $50 for a LPK, and then between $20 and $150 for a stock, depending on brand name and what you want. Total I usually ended up spending over the past 5-6 builds was between $650 and $750. Optics and magazines not included. It always depends on if I want to go inexpensive or if I want something brand name or specifically designed for a purpose.

check out http://model1sales.com

They sell kits complete, minus the stripped lower. So it includes an assembled upper (properly headspaced), lower parts kit, stock, and everything else. You just have to put the parts kit together in the lower and connect the two halves. Standard 20 inch kits are $535 (plus $100 for the stripped lower purchased separately).

You can even customize every detail including barrel twist, front/rear sights, free float tube, you name it.

Got the call that my new AR from Spikes has arrived. Will post pictures when I get back to Washington and pick it up on Saturday.

You have had success with these guys, Mike?

Building AR's is fine and dandy. I've got 10 or so under my belt. They don't call 'em Lego guns for nothing.

But for real fun, build AK's.

Here's an Egyptian build I just finished this week:
