About $800 to $850.

You can build one cheaper than buying a complete model.  Plus this way you can customize each part as you go.  I transfered a pair of "Delaware Machinery" lower receivers to guy not long ago.  You can find them on r-guns.net.  I think the stripped lower was $65.  R-guns.ner also has kits to comlete the lower and entire weapon.  You can purhcase the entire thing "disassembled" for like $715 or $720.  Then have someone help you put it togehter.  AR-15's are easy to build.

I was a m1a guy for a long time.  About a year ago I got a RRA NM A4.  Now I am saving for another.    It is a really fun gun to shoot.  With hand loads I can get under .5 inch group at 100 yds.

Much respect for the black rifles.
Shoot a few thousand rounds through it without cleaning it, like I have with my Saiga-12, and then we'll see which one is more useful in the dark.

Good for you!  Now you can drool over your own.  :)
Are we gonna put glass on it??  Horus vision.  .02

If anyone here does not reload 223, i'll take the brass (if you want to give it a good home).


Also, sounds like a range trip is in order soon for a meet n' greet. 
Still would like to meet the people here.

Sounds good what ranges will allow you to shoot 223.  I usually shoot at atglen.  Nice long range very rarely crowded.
