Kawi: If you buy yourself a flat-top upper from Spikes, and a complete Lower assembly, I can provide some extra parts to make it pretty expandable for not too much cash. I'm upgrading mine right now, and my original build will have leftover:
1 Carbine heavy buffer from Brownells ($20)
1 Picatinny rail accessory attach point from Brownells ($15)
1 Winchester 1-hand-adjust sling ($10)
1 Carbine-length quad rail, 2pcs ($40)
1 A2 Detachable Carry Handle w/ Ironsights ($30)
1 see-through Weaver Upper Rail Mount for A2 Carry Handle ($30)
1 Lower Receiver Vise Block for maintenance ($20)
and
2x 20-round mags... ($10 ea)
(click for large view)
I'd be willing to let the whole accessory set go for around $130.
Your build would be something like:
+ Complete Lower Assembly (Spikes), $270ish (I saved about $30 by assembling my own)
+ Carbine Flat Top Upper (Spikes), $500ish
+ My Accessory Kit, $130ish
... For around $900 you're looking at a good-to-go piece of machinery that you can easily maintain and upgrade. Anyone will tell you that's a rock-solid price for an AR platform of reasonable quality.
Cheers, and safe shooting!
