Man. I feel like a total dumbass, i never even thought about doing that. Prob. cheaper than buying the already assembled upper from AA
I ran the numbers last week:
AA ($380)
$365 - upper, bolt, barrel
$15 - shipping
Bravo Company ($105)
$69 - Bolt Carrier Assembly
$23 - Charging Handle
$10 - Shipping
Midway USA ($102)
$35 - Lopro Gas
$12 - Gas tube
$35 - Generic Free-float tube
$20 - Shipping
Call is $50 to assemble, check headspace, maybe even test fire.
$637 with estimated shipping and assembly charges. Call is $650 just to give yourself a little more room for error. That's less money than a model 1 upper + crappy model 1 bolt/charging handle.
Hard to go wrong with that, imo. Stick a decent piece of glass on there on a solid mount and you're ready to slay some deer.
