I'm also looking at buying something complete (seems a lot of them come with no sights and just a huge rail to add your own optics.

I'm also looking for a brand that I feel I can trust. I'm not super familiar with them all. I suspect there are some that are better than others. For instance, I'd be comfortable buying S&W, Ruger, Sig, and a few others. The options that seem to offer me the most confidence and the most reasonable price are S&W and Ruger. Tons of places list those on their websites, but they are often out of stock. If they are in stock they seem to be around 700-800. If I could find either for $500-600, I'd probably as that seems like an excellent price (which is probably why I can't find them).
Punch, hammer and a good lockring tool. 1 beer and watch the youtube video. If you can rebuild a carb or drop an engine, cook a meal you are smart enough to build one. If you don't want record of owning one and can use a router look at building an 80% paperweight into an AR.
