I started to calcuate all the ad-ons in addtion to my AR itself. I didn't realize how much I have put into my rifle over the last 4 months. Excluding the ammo I have sent down range, I figured I've dropped about $2300. How does everyone else compare? I am going to guess I would be mid-high on the $ chart.

Anyone care to share?

Still waiting on my upper but including shipping I'll be at roughly around $1100. Which is exactly the price of the CMMG pistol I wanted that got me to do a pistol build to begin with. Except the Spike's build will have a Magpul grip, hand guards, and trigger guard. I'll have a vortex flash hider, and extras like the ASAP and MS2 sling. But that price will jump later when I buy optics.

That's some nice stuff for $1100. Yea optics are expensive. I bought an EOtech XPS2 and paid around $470 for it. I was debating on purchasing the real deal or a clone. I bought the real deal and glad I did. My sling came undone (mapgul sling too???) and my rifile fell straight to the pavement hitting the top of my optic.

I am pretty sure had I purchased a clone, it would have broke the internals of the optic. So now I have a nice chunk in the hood of my optic. If I really wanted to I could order a new hood from Brownells for ~$50, but probably won't. Adds character to the gun.

I didn't count the ten Pmags I bought, do mags count? I suppose I did buy ten Magpul Gen 2 Pmags JUST for my new build for $120 + S&H and I got raped on shipping so it was like $140.

WOW! How does that PVS work? I always wondered if it is really like the stuff you see in the movies. What type of suppressor did you get?

The PVS is awesome! I've only had it for a week and i havent had time to test it out on any pigs, but it looks really good when i look around the backyard. I dont think it is the same as the movies, i think they just put a green cover over their camera lens. The suppresor was made by a company in Rockwall, TX called Ident Marking, i also purchased my pvs 14 from them.
