38years + after my two vietnam tours with the Navy Seabees the old vet is building himself a AR-15. I may turn it in to a Retro early verson look a like but hes what we have so far. A E2 20" rifle kit from Sherluk marketing they have been attending the Pittsburgh gun shows for many years and there parts always looked good when saw what they had on there tables. So they have a ad in the Shot gun News E2 Rifle kit every thing but lower reciver $424.95 Plus $11.59 shipping to my door. Order by phone Dec18 recived it wed the 20th not bad! Complete Kit came boxed wrapped in white packing paper every thing was there and in perfect contition not a scrach or nick. Tge upper barrel assy came fully assembled, oiled seems to have been test fired, looks to be some quality parts, all small parts in a small plastic box. I ordered the stripped lower reciver from Essential arms a forged lower $77.00 I opted with the back Tough coat finish $3.00 extra $11.00 shipping to my FFl My total with shipping $524.00 not bad for all new parts will report on how it shoots. a Christmas and 60th Brithday present to my self!!

Good luck stopping with one....and now you get to start collecting ammo and magazines.

BRD...there's only one cure...buy more!

Maybe some pics? I'd like to see that $500 rifle.

That pic in my avatar is a $500 pistol

It was pretty easy just after the sunset of the '94 ban....before prices went through the roof.

I have a few others rifle builds for under $500

Welcome to the builders club. Be warned, it's like malaria. Once you get the bug, you never get rid of it. It may go dormant for periods of time, but it always comes back...:wink:

Sherluk does have some pretty good quality parts. They've even had some older M16 parts in the past too, not sure if they still do.

If you ever feel like trying to get a really close retro copy to the original M16's moses, you might want to check out the lower receivers that Nodak Spud is offering. They're pricey, but they are as close to the original M16 lowers as you're likely to find. Here's a link: http://www.nodakspud.com/

Here's a few pictures of my semi-auto A1 that I built on a Nodak Spud NDS16A1 lower:
