So if I'm reading correctly all you need is a lower - on sale right above the rifle for 39.99 - and you'd have a complete rifle for 340.00 plus shipping and transfer - certainly under 450.00 after taxes.
I just built two 'cheap as I can' using parts I bought on sale Noreen lowers, Toolcraft C158 bolts, BCM blem uppers, blem BA barrels, ALG EMR VE tubes, everything else as low cost as I could get for quality parts (e.g. carbon steel vs. aluminum gas blocks) and using take-off GI stocks I had in the bin. As close as I can figure I came in at 573.00 including shipping for a slick riflr - no sights.
I think you will get more than enough bang for your buck with that deal -fun of doing it with your son, determining what upgrades you want, ending up with a serviceable range rifle.
Have fun.
Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.
Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
