If you want to make it really special, build the rifle with your son. Then you both get the satisfaction of him taking his first deer with something you built together. Building it yourself also allows you to get the exact rifle parts you want from the start, so in the long run it's cheaper as you are not replacing parts someone else used to build the rifle.
That's a really great idea. I've certainly got a lot of reading to do about these guns.

I saw this topic a while back and didn't comment....however, I remembered it as I was looking through the PSA site tonight and found this build kit for cheap ($300): http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/daily-deals-new/ptac-16-m4-5-56-nato-slick-side-1-9-rifle-kit.html now add a lower for $60 and you have a very nice home project for cheap that will get the job done and you have some bucks left to apply on a scope. http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/10445/category/4282/
* PTAC isn't a well known super-high-quality brand, but their stuff works as one would expect.

Cool. So that's all you need right there, huh? I'm beginning to see that the real appeal behind AR "builds" is that you can spread the purchases out and your wife doesn't realize you bought another new gun.

For those of us without this "Wife" you speak of, it also makes it easier to build over time, $50 here, and $50 there, before you know it you have a rifle.

And since there are no power tools needed, your child can be involved in all aspects of the build.

Very few people use their rifle enough to see the benefits of either. Standard chrome moly barrels have a potential to be slightly more accurate as well. ...

Any thoughts on stainless (dis)advantages, other than corrosion resistance? And the fact that they're purty?
