There are not many companies that make real #### that can be used hard - Geissele is one. Whether it's SSF triggers in MK12 rifles, or URGI uppers, Geissele has made a name for themselves on the back of quality product.
A $330 trigger and a $400 rail even on the cheap rifle feels like a good deal to me YMMV. Geissele is in the business of making good stuff, not scrimping a few bucks to appeal to a price point. This is clear in the ALG line up - most of that isn't 'cheap' either, but it shows how Bill G cares about what the name goes on.
Why would the rest of the rifle be any less good than the parts mentioned? That would take a massive 180 from Geissele. It doesn't look like those parts are crappy 'mil-spec' mystery meat parts either.
330 - trigger
412 - rail
250 - upper and lower (Basic ##### Aero set goes for this much)
90- Buffer/spring
150 - LPK and UPK (even a basic kit is this much)
90 - Magpul CTR
We're at over $1320 here - still need the barrel ($300 +?), BCG ($250 min), buffer extension tube ($50+), flash hider, charging handle oh and gas tube. Yeah, and someone to put it together too, or at least the tools. Don't forget to stake everything properly.
What rifle do you think is a better deal than this? Not that I'll be buying that either, just curious.
