When the market bottom fell out after the last election, I parted together a b
asic M4 clone for $400.  AR's can be had for cheap if you're patient and do
some shopping.  Highest priced items on it were the barrel and bolt carrier
group, and I got the Mossberg barrel for $89 and the Toolcraft BCG for $70. 
Freefloat tube was $60, upper receiver was an Aero Precision cosmetic blem
for $60.  Buffer tube, buffer and spring were $45.  Lower parts kit was $55. 
Lower receiver was $50 and the rest was small things like a gas tube for $11
and a cheap gas block for $20.  I had a stock and flash hider sitting around.
