First AR-15

I spent about 6 months deciding on what I wanted and think I’ve settled on this for a 16 inch AR. Didn’t want to label this as a “build” because all I did was buy an AR and add parts. This is the first AR that I’ve owned and not been issued. Currently have about 2500 rounds through it.

Looking to do an 11.5 with a quad rail next and will likely part it out piece by piece this time around.

I’ll include a parts list and what I paid for everything. Some of the parts I got second hand and other things I essentially paid MSRP for and probably got hosed on some of this. Recently found r/GunAccessoriesForSale and will likely use that for the majority of my next build to cut down on costs.

Let me know where I could improve!
