Custom AR-15 Build Cost Guide
Lower Receiver
Lower Receiver
Lower Receiver
The lower receiver is the foundation of your AR-15, housing the trigger and fire control group. This component is legally the firearm, so it requires a federal firearms license (FFL) to purchase. The cost of AR15 varies from about $75-$100 for a budget friendly lower but can go from $300-$1,000 for high-end stripped lower receivers.

The upper receiver accommodates the barrel, barrel shroud, bolt carrier group, and charging handle. This component directly affects your AR-15's performance. Budget-friendly upper receivers can range from $25-$100, while high-end versions can cost $100-$500.
We can commonly find completed uppers that contain all the components we listed above. Completed upper receivers can range from $250-$400 for your more budget-friendly options and can climb just above $2-3,000 for your boutique marksman style complete uppers.
Barrels
Lower Receiver
Handguards/Rails
A key determinant of your AR-15's accuracy, the barrel's price depends on its length, material, method of rifling, and twist rate. You can find budget-friendly barrels for as low as $75. Those high-end match grade barrels made from carbon fiber can run north of $900.
Most people opt for fantastically high end barrels that barely touch the $300 mark. Remember, in most cases, a barrel under 16” is by the letter of the law and SBR. You can build out an AR pistol to enjoy the shorter barrel length and increased maneuverability to circumvent that.
Handguards/Rails
Trigger/Fire Control Group
Handguards/Rails
Responsible for keeping your hand off the barrel full of hot gas. The handguard can cover as much or as little of the barrel as you would personally prefer.
Depending on the materials and manufacturer there is a definite difference in price points. Your budget-friendly handguards can be had for around. The high-end handguards will range from $150 to $600.
Bolt Carrier Group (BCG)
Trigger/Fire Control Group
Trigger/Fire Control Group
Responsible for seating your round to be fired and extracting the case after the rounds have been shot. You're going to be able to find budget-friendly options for as low as $75 while the BCG's with more premium coatings will range from $130 to $400.
Trigger/Fire Control Group
Trigger/Fire Control Group
Trigger/Fire Control Group
Your trigger group directly impacts your shooting experience. Consisting of both the trigger and hammer as well as the miscellaneous housing components that allow it to fit snuggly in the lower. A lighter trigger makes shooting easier, but some people like the heavier triggers used by the military and law enforcement.
Trigger groups are one of the few parts that a more expensive group has an immediate impact on the shooting experience. You can find trigger groups for as cheap as $50 but for $190 you are able to have a drop-in trigger with a light trigger pull (seen as a pull under 4.5 lbs). If you have even more to spend companies do offer world changing triggers for about $300 - $450.
Stocks
Muzzle Devices
Muzzle Devices
This can be broken down into the parts that make up the stock but unless you already have a buffer tube, buffer spring, and buffer weight. It is much easier, in the beginning, to pick up a stock assembly. It contains all the parts and hardware needed to attach it to your lower. You can find a buffer tube kit for $50-$70 with higher-end stock assembly from $160-$300.

Muzzle Devices
An AR-15 isn't complete without a muzzle device, which helps control the recoil, muzzle rise, and noise signature of the firearm. These essential components come in a variety of designs including flash hiders, muzzle brakes, compensators, and suppressors each with a unique set of benefits.
A budget-friendly yet effective option is the A2 flash suppressor, which comes standard on many AR-15 rifles. It's reliable, reduces muzzle climb, and suppresses flash reasonably well, making it a solid choice for budget builds. These cost $10.
As for your high-end muzzle devices, the price range is immense. You can go for a muzzle brake or compensator from just about any company it will run about $100-$130. Or, you can go ham and get a muzzle device that can mount a suppressor. That will extend your cost to close to $1500 including the $200 tax stamp and other fees (especially if it's your first time).
Pistol Grip

Pistol Grip
For budget build, you can get very inexpensive grips that typically come with your lower parts kit. The kits are $70 but the grips individually cost around $20. As for your high-end builds, you can pick up grips for $50-$100
Build Cost Other Than Parts
Build Fee: $100.00
ABIS Arms charges a flat fee for custom build to order AR-15s. Once all your parts are selected, we will add up the total cost for the parts and add our $100.00 build fee and that will be the total cost of your custom-built rifle, not including sales taxes of course. Uncle Sam has to get his too.
