[QUOTE="rewiltshire, post: 2028705, member: 53629"] The one I built years ago has been a great rifle. Not pretty, but shoots straight. What I started with was a Sarco 'parts kit' from a decommissioned Vietnam era M16A2 rifle. It was my first attempt at building one and I will admit I did have to purchase some extra detentes, but I learned how to get them in with out shooting them across the room. The complete rifle was about $450. I have built more 'impressive' rifles/carbines since. To this day I still shoot that old A2 in my clubs competition, and in a lot of cases beat out high dollar guns. But again maybe I was just lucky and got a good kit from Sarco. The first photo cost $450, the second is a F class rifle good for 1000 yards, but I have closer to $4000 in it so I don't think it would classify as 'entry level'. And like I said, it was a good place to start and learn about all the parts of the AR15/M16/M4 at an reasonable expense. [/QUOTE]
