Very nice. I'm doing something similar with mine.

Stripped PSA lower - $80
Stag Arms complete upper - $500

All I need now is the PSA lower build kit for $130 and I'll be done. Just waiting for it to get back in stock! $710 all in is pretty good I think.

Just finished this one yesterday. Started life as that $799 carbine PSA had. Duracoated myself. All magpul furniture and a no name quad rail I two toned. Think it turned out nice.
