I wouldn't want a SS barrel under a handguard where I couldn't wipe it down easily. They can rust. Nitride is a good option. At the least, I'd take the handguard off and coat it with Krylon.
You can put a lower together with tools most people already have, no problem. I'd buy an Aero stripped or populated lower and finish it out to my spec.
You can put an upper together with about $100 worth of tools. I'd build with BCM or Aero M4E1.
You will not necessarily save money putting your own together. If you object is best quality, it is more like reloading where you spend about the same to get exactly what you want, and the past time of putting it all together yourself.
