Lowest cost AR

I just finished two builds yesterday and both came in at under a grand. I have to confess I used BA Hanson barrels from Ballistic Advantage. I saved a few hundred per gun going that route. The rest of the rifles got.the treatment. All great parts.
 
I like how this thread had actual useful info, not just the usual "Mine cost $140 because of my left over parts from my last 6 builds and my uncle Jimmy gave me everything from his upgrade"

I bought a BA "pencil barrel" for a build. I'm not over the moon with it but not disgusted either. Seems to group well enough for what it is.

And this new "custom Jimmy build" can now be yours fer only $1,200. No lowballers, I know whut I got. If'n it don't sail by Sunday, back in the safe it goes!

This. Unfortunately this applies to all guns/ammo/accessories here on the OTD. It's one of the reasons for the sites lull in volume.
If you try to reason (e.g. this same gun is being sold for $500 new and has been for some time, can you come off your $750 tag?) Seller's act like you've insulted their ancestors.

I wasn't born for accuracy on these bills I was just going more for the general purpose rifle jobs. I can always change barrels if I take a notion to sew not really that much lost.
