My 17yo son, Austin is into video games and guns. Last month he asked if I could make a gun like the one in GTA5 that is called the Rifle Carbine. Yes I know dumb name, kind of like jumbo Shrimp.
The rifle in the game is a SBR AR with a skeleton stock that looks close to the Ace stock. In the game a suppressor can be put on the gun. Here is what it looks like.
I told Austin that I could build one that would look almost like it and he said that would be cool.
So my goal is to build the gun as close as I can to the one in the game, but keep the cost under $650. I don't plan to make it a SBR. Instead I will put a fake suppressor over the end of the barrel to give it the look of a SBR.
Here are the parts I have in right now.
Anderson lower with built in triggerguard $40
Anderson upper $40 DPMS charging handel $15
PSA Nickel Boron coated BCG $99
Carbon fiber Free Float Hand Guard 9" $80
16 inch carbin barrel 1/8 twist, with gas block, gas tube and barrel nut $130
These are the grips I had on hand with lower kits. I'm going to go with the Blackhawk grip on the right. LPK $50
Today the Ace buttstock arrived $65
So far I'm at $519.
I'm still waiting on the A2 buffer tube assembly to come in.
Oh! I forgot to order the forward assist and dust cover.
Maybe my buddy has some extra parts at his shop. If the buffer tube arrives this week, I can finish the rifle this weekend.
