Make that enough to outfit ONE great basic rifle, plus the rest of the stuff, and you sound about right.

I don't know where you're shopping, but I'm only going to be in my rifle about $1350. And it's all Daniel Defense and Magpul. I could've gone cheaper on some of the parts and built a basic rifle with iron sights for close to $1000. I just bought a 1000 round case of fiocchi brass cased 223 for under $300. Thats 2000 for rifles, 600 for 2 cases of ammo, and 400 for classes. Sounds doable to me.
The auction closed just under $3,000 with the reserve not met.
That is ridiculous ... though it is also giving me quite a bit to think about.

HERA Arms in Germany makes a billet lower which is remarkably like the Magpul one. Even their logo is sort of similar.

Unfortunately the answer is no. I asked the US importer of HERA parts,
LAN World Inc if they could get it and they said that the ATF had denied their import application.
Given what I recall about the way that Hera, Oberland and even HK GmbH worked while I was in Germany, I would be very surprised if those receivers had a MILSPEC-compatible takedown pin configuration. German ARs tend to be proprietary in this respect in order to comply with domestic legal requirements (i.e. semi-automatic rifles are permissible, but they cannot be readily backwards-compatible with any standardized military arm).
