This is my first AR build that I finished back in Dec. I've been lazy about taking some pics and putting this up. I built it from the ground up. It has a carbine length gas system running through a lo-pro gas block, under a mid-length handguard. The lower came with the cerakote on it. I did the color fill.
Several of the parts were bought during the frenzy. So I got hosed on a few pieces price wise. Like the $285 stripped lower. But at least it came cerakoted... Between sales and coupon codes I made out pretty well on several of the other parts. All together she came in at just under $1K for the parts. With the shipping factored in it was ~$1025. Parts wise it could be built now for somewhere around $700-$800. I still haven't picked up a set of BUIS yet. The scope on it is the one that came with my Rem. 700 .223.

Yankee Hill Machine YHM-110 A3 Upper Receiver
