semi-custom truck gun?

[Great-Kazoo]

It's possible, i don't consider your list to be a custom build. Just items other than offered with on line packages. The bbl & bolt carrier will put you over $2-250. That's 1/2 your budget.

IF it's a truck gun outside of function for your piece of mind. Why drop $$$ on it? Keep it cost effective and functional.
Here's everything minus the lower. DSArms has good deals.

If you're just talking about putting an upper together, you can meet your criteria for around $500. I recently put a couple of uppers together with stainless barrels, pinned gas blocks, ALG Defense handguards, Rainier receivers, and BCG's from Aimsurplus. Total cost was under $500. You can add a bit more to that price if your lower is stripped and needs to be finished out.

I only said "truck gun" because I'm not looking for a precision shooter. Yes I want to be on paper at 100yards, but I don't need to be sub-moa either. Something for fun, and looks nice.

I was looking at the PSA's and that's why I had to post the question. I like the Nickle boron BCG and stainless bbl for looks and maintenance. But I also wanted a low-pro gas blocks so I can put optics on it if I wanted without the interference of the front sight

Any OTC upper will give you COM, sounds liek it's the item you seek. Most if not all will do 1-4" MOA, less off bench with bags.

Here's a RDS, great co-witness with stock front & fold down rear. Gives one the option of BUIS or RDS.

With a magnified optic say 1-4x, you look right through the front sight. Never noticing it's there. The spouse runs this with stock / A2 front sight post.

it is the few items I do seek, hence the "semi-custom". I was worried about the a2 front sight being in the way if I put on a red dot or holographic on it. Maybe I will run into sportsmans and see if they have any a2's I can personally handle and make me change my mind (currently very hung up on the low-pro gas block).

I have:
DD multi-cal stripped lower
Grip, mid-length handguard, butstock

Shopping list:
5.56 SS BBL
Nickel Boron BCG - OR CHROME
oversized charging handle - similar to a BCM gunfighter

Remaining items:
What would you suggest?

Buying something from the Honest Hamid 2016 optics or upper, Spring collection.
