Used Auto Parts For Sale

Q.Last weekend I was at a gun show looking to sale my AR-15 and purchase a new one. Many of the dealers where assembling their own rifles and I figured I could learn a lot by doing that myself. So, I decided to hold onto my current rifle and build a new one. On the spur of the moment I bought a Stag lower for $120 and the Trigger Parts Kit for $70. This was the only lower for sale and it was an impulse purchase. I know very little about Stag and I'm not sure if the price was reasonable. I spoke with a friend about it later and he challenged me to build the AR-15, with all new parts, for under $600. There is no money riding on this, just bragging rights. We also agreed I could include some used parts but I need to stay under $500 if anything is used. I already have a tactical stock which we are valuing and $70 for this challenge. I now have a finished lower, with trigger installed and a stock, for $260. I just need an upper, barrel, bolt & carrier and the charge handle. I have $340 more in my budget ($240 if I buy used parts). I don't need a carry handle, rails, or any other add-ons. Can this be done? Did I over pay for the lower parts? Can anyone point me to some good resources for cheap parts?

A.www.Del-ton.com They have rifle kits for around 400-500 dollars. When I say kit, that means everything is provided except the stripped lower reciever. Assemble parts to lower and you have yourself a rifle. The 600 dollar part couls have been do-able about a year ago when lowers were aroun 100 bucks, but since prices on pratically everything related to firearms have gone up, you would be in the neighborhood of 650.
