It looks like he is doing the video in a shop, so the prices are going to be full service retail, not mail order.I don't know where this guy is getting his prices but they are whacked.
If you weren't suppose to listen to people who can't spell you might as well sign off from NES for good. There's some horrible spellers here, myself included. Just saying is all.I'm supposed to listen to a guy who writes "muzzle break" instead of muzzle brake?
No thanks
Let me guess....THE KIDS!I do it for ONE reason.

In that circumstance, he is right. However, if the lenses are frosted (from cold or heat) or cracked in a way that does not allow looking through them, he will wish he had a set of offset back up sights.

Easy fix for that: You take your sidearm out, aim it straight down the middle of the aimpoint, front to back, like wiping, you don't wanna take out your front sight. Fire one, maybe two rounds. You blow the guts out of the middle of the aimpoint, you're left with the outer ring of the aimpoint and a clear view of your front sight, then continue to operate.

$250 for a rail? Um even the popular Samson rails don't come close to that. ($200 for extended rifle, carbine and mid-length are even cheaper)
MOE stock is like $40, sometimes cheaper.
$60 charging handle? I got my BCM for $30-40...
Hell even the price of the AR is high nowadays.

His prices are pretty close. I spent 269 on my BCM 13" Kmr rail, 99 on my b5 enhanced sopmod and 90 on my raptor charging handle.
More specifically, there are some horrible spellers who have a lot of knowledge to give.
But with that said, I've found that I will only build ARs for myself for the last several years. Mainly because once I replace all the stuff to line up with the way I LIKE THINGS, I've practically rebuilt the rifle anyway.
My Preferences:
1) Ambi selector
2) Ambi mag release
3) Match trigger of some kind. RRA if I only want to spend $75, Geissele if the gun is expected to put out serious accuracy.
4) Threaded barrel with miculek brake or brake that will accept a can.
5) Adjustable gas block.
Generally, I try to get as much accuracy with as little weight as I possibly can. I care less about these rifle being "combat ready" than most people because I've got plenty of stock, reliable, plain jane ARs. Most of what I build are purely toys.
To that end, this obsession with backup sights is pointless in my mind. Leave them off and save $100 and a few ounces.

p.s. I took a carbine class with an instructor who preferred a standard front sight with an aimpoint on his AR. He didn't run any backup rear sight. When I asked him about it he explained that even if his Aimpoint failed, he could aim effectively by just centering his front sight in his Micro T1. He demonstrated with some pretty impressive shooting while his sight was turned off. A dead Aimpoint on a rifle with a front sight effectively becomes just a large rear aperture sight.
Yes you did! If I had your money I'd throw mine away!!His prices are pretty close. I spent 269 on my BCM 13" Kmr rail, 99 on my b5 enhanced sopmod and 90 on my raptor charging handle.
