Action was my very first deer rifle (270) converted...traded into the 223 bolt head. My cost was zero.

The barrel in that picture was a takeoff from a 12FV I picked up off Gunbroker for something like $120...reused the OE barrel nut and lug.

The A5 was a heavy fill single-shot stock I purchased used on SnipersHide, I think $450, and the CDI DBM was something like $250 for the bottom metal and stock inletting.
