Why should we Free BSD?
I’m looking at having an AR 15 custom built by my local gunsmith for my sons birthday. He is an avid hunter and loves to shoot. My thought on building custom is that it is warranted for the life of the gun for accuracy and reliability by the gunsmith. Plus my son will have someone who can work on his gun for upgrades for the future if he chooses.
We are looking at approximately $1200 for the build. I know that you can buy a lot of AR and accessories for that kinda money but I like doing business locally.

A gunsmith does not warranty reliability, nor accuracy for the life of the gun.
You need to decide on what caliber you want it chambered in. If it is for shooting at the range, a 223/556 would work. If it is for hunting deer, a 300BLK or a 6.8 SPC would do the job.
I have parts lists that I can give you for 223/556 and 300BLK that would include magnified optics for less than $1200.
If you buy the parts you can both attend one of my build classes for the price of one admission. He will build the gun and you can assist, observe, or take pics. Your call.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I have taught 8 year olds with their fathers before.
Can't get much more sentimental than a gift you both assembled together.
I have 2 classes in februray 2018 for AR Builds.
