The AR 15 On $100 A Month

The Lovely Harvey has come to a decision about the configuration of The Purple AR.

We're also going to follow along as she builds (well as she picks and I assemble).

What we have on hand:

Cav Arms purple furniture set.
Commerical carbine receiver extension with buffer and spring.
Mid-Length 16" 6.8 SPC II 1:11 barrel and bolt with A2 style flash-hider and standard FSB with front sight parts.
YHM folding rear sight.
Echo's Purple Sling

Having a parts bin is handy (some links are representational).

What we need:

Upper receiver.
Lower receiver.
Lower parts kit.
Upper parts kit.
Bolt carrier.

The upper and lower have been ordered.  Aero-Precision's Huckleberry set for $150.  That leaves about $65 for the lower parts kit, $20 for the upper parts kit, $125ish for the bolt carrier group.

Then a name.

Optional is getting something engraved on the mag-well and cerakoting the receivers purple.
Some sort of optic is likely as well.

All in all, a fairly standard build except for the alternate caliber.
