That's the great thing about AR-15s, you can mix and match a lot of different parts to make it what you want. Keep in mind short barrels such as this will require a $200 tax, paperwork, background check, and a wait while everything is processed, etc. In regards to what you are looking for, specifically a rifle that can reach out to 200 yards, well you may be looking at the wrong barrel length in the photo. Even a 16" or longer AR doesn't do that great out to 200 yards if you are talking shooting through body armor.
An AR-10 (.308) or AR-15 in .300AAC might be more capable out to 200 yards.

thanks, you can tell I dont know much about these weapons. Ok I will have to change my style of thinking. Any ideas on a weapon that would be good when the SHTF? can you find one that shoots 7.62 nato round? what round would be best? any websites that would help me?

It really doesn't matter what the brand is, you can probably find all the parts and put it together and/or have someone help you put it together. It is fun, a learning experience, and rewarding to build one.

since a person could build one I would assume the $200 tax and reporting such an item is not mandated by law? how could i start a project like this?

Creating an SBR without the tax stamp is a federal felony.

Get one of these at Cabelas and you don't need the Federal paperwork....
Add a Sig brace and a magpul angled foregrip (can't have a vert grip) a sight and voila...
