I built a Ruger 10/22 with a military style look to it, some upgraded internals and it came out to just over $500. Looks awesome and fits the budget. Stock, they arn't too hot, but with a few extra hundred bucks it can be whatever you want it to be (semi-auto): assault rifle, submachine gun; including Thompson "Tommy gun", gattling gun, long range, tactical long range etc. Just use your imagination.
