A good deal for anyone looking for an AR

I stopped by my local Dick's sporting goods last night to pick up a Maverick 88 with an18.5" barrel for $179 (not a bad deal) and tools look at a Troy AR-15 that I've seen there before priced at $1099. It's not bad considering what all it has on it they had them for $999 a couple weeks ago and if you sign up for a store credit card you get another 10% off. Even better deal but I can build a similar carbine for less. Well the mention that their Black Friday deal is that it will be $799! And, you can preorder/special order one for the same price from now until Thursday and not have to go out on Friday! So, with applying for a store card you cn get this carbine:

For $720+tax. A quick look at Midway's site shows over $400 in parts like the fore end, rear sight, flash hider, and that ugly (but comfortable) stock. It's now heaped than I can build a similar carbine for, so I'm going to jump on one!
Just thought I'd pass the info along to anyone who may be in the market or on the fence about an AR.
