YES!
Or just do the full 6920 like Grant suggested.
On a side note- I helped a couple relatives assemble some ARs a while back. While we didn't make out with a huge bargain dollar wise, we were able to get some decently high quality rifles put together on a reasonable budget, along with some extra goodies like magazines and Gunfighter charging handles, that you would be tacking on extra dollars for on top of an initial rifle purchase. You can see them here if you want: https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=97876
Just another idea.

You know, I think this is what everyone overlooks with these brands- some people try to lump them in with the real high-end stuff, and that gets other folks pissed off because they're not quite there.
Imho, I like to look at the current lineup of brands in tiers, with brands like Colt/BCM, etc. on top, followed by ST/PSA/etc., followed by all the others I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. 
I think what may be being missed is, you don't automatically "lose" if you have a second line AR- you just have to realize what you have and understand it may not perform up to the standards of a first-line AR.
Maybe that's redundant and not making any sense. But what I'm trying to say is, for example a neighbor of mine that is into ARs builds his own, but he's obsessed with using bargain-basement components because he can put them together for cheap (ironically he won't use any Magpul MBUS sights because "they're plastic". Go figure.). I think the highest quality rifle he's sitting on right now is a CMMG franken-SPR. I've suggested other better brands, and even brough my AR over to show him, but he likes cheap I guess. Regardless of budgetary constrains som people just will not dish out for better stuff because it all seems the same and they don't understand the difference.
However, recently he started using PSA's lowers as they were on sale. He liked them enough to look into their other parts, like uppers, and there's now a strong possibility he will use those on new builds.
Is it a Colt? No- but I'd rather have him using PSA's stuff than DPMS.... And who knows- maybe once he gets ahold of the PSA parts and notices an improvement in quality he'll be more open to moving up the ladder later on.
(This is not an attack on anyone here- just an observation and musings on it)
