RE: Custom built AR for 700
 

If you are going to get an AR built, I would HIGHLY recommend you decide EXACTLY what parts you want and the configuration you want BEFORE having it built to avoid having to change them later, and paying for duplicate parts. Talk it over with him. For example do you want flat top or carry handle? Bull or standard weight barrel? Clamshell handguard or free float tube? Standard trigger or something like the Jard trigger I have in mine? Gas block, front sight, or folding front sight? That way you will wind up with a rifle designed to do exactly what you want and suited to the purpose.

Good point, BUT for $700., he's not going to be able to put in an after market $200. trigger for sure.

RE: Custom built AR for 700
 

$700 is pretty low
probably possible if he gt a good deal on the lower receiver and the barrel and just throgh the rest together
but like Howler said you WILL need a trigger job
i have 2 ar's and the 1 i carried when i served all had terrible triggers
$200 chip mccormick solves the problem and they are super easy to drop in
but $700 is a little fishy
see if he has a rig already built and if not ask where he gets his upper/lower receiver and barrels from
