The $1k Build - How would you spend it?

[Dutch110]

This is purely a theoretical discussion. No right or wrong answers. Maybe it give people ideas or alternative suggestions they wouldn't otherwise think of

If you had $1k to spend on a build (purpose TBD by you) what parts would you use (no buying complete uppers or lowers.) Completely roll your own.

Optics are not included because lets face it, we could spend $1k on optics alone.

My list (general service rifle)

Redacted (ZEV/Mega) upper and lower - $170 (just bought a set on sale for $100 but I believe $170 is the regular retail price
SOLGW Blaster LPK (no FCG or Grip) - $45
LaRue MBT 2S - $100
Ergo Grip - $25
Buffer Kit (RE, End Plate, Castle, Spring, H2) - $100
Magpul SL Stock - $50
Rosco Bloodline 16 inch barrel, gas tube and block - $150
RCA blem BCG - $140 (add OCKS for an additional 8 bucks or so)
CMT HDM Rail - $150
And with the extra $70 bucks I would splurge on Radian CH

I could beat the crap out of this set up and be pretty darn sure it would hold up. I have used all of these parts at one point or another on other builds.

I could build most of the upper under that price from white oak, enough left over for a stripped lower and parts kit elsewhere

I don't limit myself to PSA kits or 1K budgets, I build for my needs and don't factor price into it.

You do you, I'll do me. That clear enough?

That's exactly what I'm doing but you seem intent on adding your .02 So don't get your panties wadded up when you get a comment in return. Clear enough?

Likewise.
