Here's how I did it. I went to www.auctionarms.com
I checked and found AR-15 lowers and bought one for $280.
A couple months later, when I replenished my "gun fund", I checked and found AR-15 uppers. I found a nice flat top upper (one without the carrying handle) and bought it for $400.
Put the two together with no problems. Shoots reliably and with decent accuracy. All for $680.
The site does also offer complete rifles, used and new.

When Purchasing a AR 15 there are many brands to choose from. Colt and Bushmaster are your higher end makers Colt being the highest but the quality is there. I own a Carbon 15 model m4 Made by bushmaster. High Standard makes a few different designs of the AR and the M4 that costs a about 700. In my opinion the best thing to do is to go to your next local gun show and do some shoping. All of these tatical guns are expensive no matter what way you look at it. I picked up my M4 for about 600 from someone that needed money more than they needed the gun. If you go to the gun show you will encounter about a dozen different companies that produces AR or M4 Carbines with a price fluctuation. But the best thing to do is find a used high end rifle for the price of a new lower end rifle. Because the higher end used gun a lot of times is a better way to go then a lower end gun that hasnt been around too long. In general the good thing about these types of rifles is that they are made to last and are made to shoot many rounds, so they last. i picked up my 1300 dollar M4 for about 600 so look around. Also im not sure what State you live in but make sure you bring 3 forms of ID if you are looking into getting one, because on assult rifles they need to make sure you are a US Citizen, At least in Virginia. just remember dont jump on the first cheap one you see there are good deals all day at the show and alot of times you can haggle with the price. Good Luck

Your best bet would be to check out AR15.com. They have a for sale forum with new guns listed daily. You can save even more money if you buy the upper and lower separate. They are only held together by two pins and are easy to assemble. The people there are pretty nice and will answer any questions you have along the way. You could also buy your upper and lower from gunbroker.com. If you decide to buy the upper and lower separately make sure you get an upper that has a charging handle and bolt as some people sell their uppers without those parts included. You could have a Bushmaster for around $600. Also, the lower receiver is the only part that has to ship to an FFL. The upper can go directly to your house as it is not considered a weapon. To get the gun transferred to you, Gunbroker.com has a massive list of FFL holders. You can search the database by zip code to find someone close to you. Enjoy your AR

My friends father recently bought an AR. But not as a rifle, he bought a kit and put it together himself. If you buy a rifle already assembled, yeah, you can expect to pay a good $1,000+. But if you buy a kit, it costs about $500 or $600, but you can get help off of the official AR-15 site on assembly if you buy a kit.

if you buy a lower reciever from your FFL dealer, for $100-125 plus their transfer fee.
then order a kit from Model 1 sales, you can get into a decent homebuild for around $650.00.
http://www.model1sales.com/item-detail.cfm?ID=KCE160&storeid=1&image=car16pre.gif
make sure you get a chrome lined barrel.. and bolt assembly.
I opted for an A3 upper, I bought carry handle but I can mount a scope as well. Pick and choose which features you want you can build up as you want it.
You can order a lower shipped to your FFL dealer, they will need to send their license info the vendor.
I used Carricozarmory.com These guys build lowers to milspec for vendors that service the military.
FWIW, checkout ar15.com there are build-up diagrams and tutorials.

Southern Ohio Gun Wholesale has some that wholesale under $600.
Add shipping and your local dealer markup of 15% & transfer fees, and you are still under $700.
Call them and ask for a dealer in your area.

Check out Gunbroker.com, it is essentially eBay for guns. I'm sure you'd be able to find good quality AR at well below retail prices, new and used.

A handgun or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon may be sold by a dealer to a person who presents a handgun transferee permit or carry permit, or to a person who has undergone a seven (7) day waiting period where a transfer report has been filed. A transferee permit may be obtained at no cost from the police chief of a municipality or the county sheriff. The information requested consists of name, residence, telephone number, driver’s license number or non-qualification certificate number, sex, date of birth, height, weight, eye color, and a statement attesting that the transferee does not fall into any of the disqualifying categories listed under POSSESSION. The police chief or sheriff investigates the applicant and must issue or deny the transferee permit within seven (7) days. The only basis for a denial is if the applicant falls into any of the disqualifying categories listed under POSSESSION. A transferee permit is good statewide for one year to purchase one or more handguns either at one time or at intervals throughout the year. A person without a transferee permit or carry permit must utilize a transfer report in order to purchase a handgun or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon. The transfer report contains the identification information and statement attesting qualification as required in the transferee permit, and must be signed by the transferor and the proposed recipient. The transferor must deliver the report to the police chief or sheriff no later than three (3) days after the date of the agreement to transfer, excluding weekends and legal holidays. No fee is charged for the transfer report. Upon receipt of a transfer report, the police chief or sheriff investigates the potential recipient. A handgun or assault weapon cannot be delivered until five (5) days after the agreement to transfer is delivered to the police chief sheriff. The police may waive all or part of the seven (7) day waiting period. At the end of five (5) days, the handgun or assault weapon may be transferred if the transferor hears nothing unfavorable from the police. There is no restriction on the number of handguns or assault weapons a person may acquire as part of a single transfer report. Once a police determination has been made that a handgun or assault weapon recipient is not prohibited from possessing a handgun or assault weapon, the recipient may, within 30 days after the determination, apply to the police chief or sheriff for a handgun or assault weapon transferee permit, and the permit shall be issued. A person transferring a handgun or assault weapon to a person exhibiting a transferee permit or carry permit is not required to file a handgun or assault weapon transfer report. After a determination has been made that the person receiving a handgun or assault weapon is not precluded from possessing one, the person may request that no record be kept of the fact that he is the recipient of a handgun or assault weapon. The police chief or sheriff shall sign the transfer report and return it to the person receiving the handgun or assault weapon. Thereafter, no government employee or agency shall maintain a record of the transfer that identifies the person who received the handgun or assault weapon. The requirements of a transferee permit, permit to carry, or report of transfer and a seven (7) day waiting period do not apply to transfers between federally licensed firearm dealers or transfers of antique firearms acquired as curiosities or for their historical significance or value. No person shall transfer a handgun or assault weapon to another who is not personally known to the transferor unless the proposed recipient presents evidence of his identity. Each firearm dealer shall display a warning in block letters stating, “IT IS UNLAWFUL TO STORE OR LEAVE A LOADED FIREARM WHERE A CHILD CAN OBTAIN ACCESS.”

The Wisconsin Legislature changed the makeup of gun ownership in the state when it passed a law on concealed-weapons permits in early 2011. The law allows residents who meet strict guidelines to carry a handgun on their person. While Wisconsin gun laws differ from other states, residents must comply with federal regulations by meeting certain basic requirements.
