Exactly.
I have built an entire car around a cool set of Moroso valve covers and matching air cleaner. True story.

I'll have just a little less than $500 in mine. $40 for an Anderson lower and $420 for a PSA Freedom stainless MOE rifle kit. All I need to add is a rear sight.
The lower is bare in this picture so I just quickly slapped the buffer tube/stock, grip and lower on just for a picture.
Sign up for the emails for the PSA deals. That's how I got my upper kit cheap and shipped free.
You mean your AR pistol that won't run?
That's where I ordered my pistol kit from. $435 for everything including the 80% lower. There was going to be a delay on the handguard I ordered so they upgraded it to a better one they had in stock, no added cost to me. Shipped out today. Lifetime warranty.DeltaTeamTactical has some really great prices, but they can be slow to ship. My AR pistol is mostly built on their parts.
Built this retro for about 700 and that is only because the plastic bits are getting pricey.
With the amount of spares and left overs I have, I can build 20 more if I had that many lowers.
Or maybe I have that many lowers, for just such of an emergency.
I've watched enough build videos to convince myself that building an AR is much, much, easier than I first thought. It does require some special tools (not many) and some patience. But I'd not hesitate to build one myself from stripped lower and uppers.
If you like working with your hands, and want to save some money, I really suggest building one. Plus, you get the added satisfaction of using a rifle you built. My frankengun works better than most store bought rifles, and I can take at least a little credit for that myself.
