But seriously, nice gun.
Any particular reason you chose the Aimpoint, over maybe Eotech or Trijicon?

Nice looking build! Congrats. 
So how long before you start building another one???
I made it about 5-6 months before I couldn't help myself.

I assume you have a set of DW's going by your avatar. I'll trade you my Mapex set and throw in a Remington .22 bolt action for the DWs and the AR.........

Wife asked the same question in an disapproving manner
Since I already have an AK-47, I was thinking of just getting a new complete upper receiver in 7.62 along with the mags

You would be stupid not to. I'm the one taking the gamble.
Posted on 2/23/12 at 8:48 pm to tigerbait98
Nice! Very similar to the build I'm working on now.
Posted on 2/23/12 at 8:52 pm to tigerbait98

Mine's in a black/green too.

Sort of off topic but what are some of the top shelf AR manufactures these days?
Posted on 2/23/12 at 9:08 pm to GREENHEAD22
Im no expert but the top names I see often include: Les Baer, Daniel Defense, LMT, Bravo Company, Yankee Hill

How much does something like that cost?
Posted on 2/23/12 at 9:11 pm to Coon
This setup im running costs between $1200-$1300, depending on which components you use
Posted on 2/23/12 at 9:24 pm to tigerbait98
How does one get started? Where do you buy the parts?

LWRC and H&K are two of the higher end names. I guess Barrett would be in there as well.
ETA: how could I forget Colt.

Youtube has tons of videos on how to build one. You dont need many tools (if you only build the lower and just buy a pre-assembled upper receiver like I did)
It's much cheaper to build rather than buy outright.
ETA: as far as parts, I ordered all of my lower receiver parts from Palmetto St. armory. I got the upper receiver direct from Bravo Co. and the sight/furniture came from Cheaper than dirt
