Poverty pony lower, pormetto upper, unknown bcg from calguns, utg rail, magpul stock, Chinesium light and laser combo, cheap ebay foward grip PA nova 1x6 lpvo, warner mount.
this is my very first Ar15 I fully built. I even rattle canned it. I will be right under 750 OTD all in. It has taken a few years, but here it is. My range toy. It is currently a .22 Lr right now because. 223 is expensive. I will shoot this weekend. Once 223 is cheap again, I will have to remove some parts once I put the .223 bcg, but until then, it will remain this way.

For the price I dig it and congrats on your first build. Paint job came out great.
 
That's a rifle that appears it would be at home in a high Earth orbit, waiting for some nasty extraterrestrial to come by! It's a doozy!
 
I like the paint job - I know rattle can camo is easy, but I swear I am the worst with spray paint cans.

Not a bad OTD price - if it is safe, functions majority of the time, and you can land some (decent) groupings with it, then it works. Not everyone has to drop $3000+ on a fancy Daniel Defense/KA build.

A few years ago, I built a random AR-15 using a bunch of spare parts laying around from over the years. OTD price (after my estimates) was over $1200 and I thought that was a great deal. Ended up selling it just to break even on the parts.

Great job, nevertheless!
