    +1000 on building one. It is super fun and you know exactly what makes up your rifle. I am almost finished with my AR pistol I want to eventually SBR and am already starting to plan my next build. I did not go budget on mine but I did find out exactly how little I could have spent and still have a functional rifle. Good luck no matter what you do.

    AH shit sorry! It's a Del Ton. I would like to build one but it seems so complicating and I'd rather own one and be familiar with em first. Like I did with my AK. Now I know that thing in and out and I can do anything with it.

    Yes. It will. Didn't someone post up they can be had out the door from buds for under $700?

    Well, they do have em for that much, but this one is the same price on buds and I would still have to pay FFL. I like the stock and grip so I wouldn't have to replace those. On the lower cost ones I would want to so I save money there as well.

    That's not a bad price seeing as it comes with MOE stock, (looks like) MOE + grip and MOE rail. Those are things I was telling saying you'd want to replace anyway should you buy a basic stock AR. You'll need at least a popup rear sight although that may come with it; I can't tell because you didn't include a spec sheet (which you may not even have).

    I have a buddy who bought a DTI about a month ago. It had a heavy barrel (1/7 twist) and came with several MagPul mags. He paid $1000.00.

    Assembly is fun also but you won't get much under that price unless you get your parts second hand or really cheap.
