Another option would be the BCM or LMT complete lowers for about 350.00, a 16" Bravo Company upper for approx. 475.00 (when available) and a BCG for about 150.00. Add in the handguards and you are around 1040.00 or so.
I have to go along with Iraqgunz on this. As your son is rapidly closing in on your benchmarks, time is a factor. Given the recent market for all things "Black Rifle" related, waiting for the various parts may take a long time (possibly months,) especially if you're going for quality mechandise. A complete rifle might be a better choice for you. A Daniels Defense XV or an LMT Defender, if found in the $1200 range would be an excellent, high-quality, basic M4 carbine.
I went the LMT route, myself.
