I found a gently used (looking at the bolt face anyway) 14.5" mid length A2 style weapon. Its a stamped Rock River lower for 5.56/2.23 and I have no idea about the internals and trigger. The thing that caught me was its a complete BCM upper. It's chrome lined barrel, not the hammer forged one. Again mid length gas system and 14.5" with a fixed flash hider. That plastic magpul hand guard, daniel defense rear sight (not a folding style), magpul pistol grip and magpul 6 position stock. Has one 10 round pmag. $650 OTD.
Seems like about $1200 to build (if you could get the BCM upper that is...;-) ).
I looked at the etiquette and didn't see anything about posting prices etc. I didn't list the store. If I broke a rule I apologize in advance.
Good deal? I think so but again this is my first everything. Including post on this site.
I put it on layaway until I can get some input and education.
Am I overlooking something? Too star struck with the BCM upper?
Any help is appreciated guys and thanks in advance.
