well, PARTS on that gun were about $1000.
The upper, despite its slick looks which I hope will allow it to tell for a high price, really didn't cost me any more than a normal looking upper.
putting together and upper receiver can be a little tricky from the perspective that it requires a few specific tools. But the lowers are easy to put together without any tools, except maybe a cheap butt stock wrench. you may also want to spend the extra $15 on a "bolt catch pin punch" from brownells... I'm very glad I did for mine, saves you from scratching your new receiver.
