The upper I was reffering to is $299 shipped with the promo. With that being said, my only AR that I have was a budget build from a couple years ago that totaled at just a tick over $500 for the whole thing. I have been going back and forth as to do another budget rifle and have two serviceable weapons, or maybe spring for the nicer rifle and sell off my existing one to offset the cost and have one nice rifle.
It would be nice to have a $1400-$2000, but I just can't justify that much. This is coming out of my "fun money" that i'm using from selling off some other things. Not trying to dip into the family fund to keep the wife off my butt.
I'm thinking max budget of about $900, but if I can get a decent rifle for less, then that means more stuff for it.
