So this past weekend I was toying around with building, yet another AR15. This time I wanted to do a skeletonized build and since I was doing that, I thought I would do a lightweight build with it. After running the numbers, I know that this project will not be done until 2022, if that. You will see the price tag below and know why.
The skeletonized upper and lower I chose is from War Dog Industries. I don't have hands-on experience with that company, but their skeletonized upper and lower look sick, so I said... "ehh, why not".
Here is the bottom line, price with weight.
Summary:
And, before all the haters come out. This is intended to be a fun, if I have some cash buy a part here-and-there, build. I ain't going into battle with this thing. If SHTF, I got other weapons that I can use for that....
You guys see the price tag, and I know that in a year or two the technology on light weight ar-15 parts may change, but for now, this is the parts list. If you guys can improve on the Price and the weight, please chime in.
Lastly, the final cost per ounce is $34.32.
