Jersey legal "other gun"
It's not a complicated effort.
Parts are a bit scarce as Jamie points out, but can be found and something decent built nonetheless. But will agree if you find one available you like, pull the trigger... so to speak.
Alright guys, what would be a WAG on the investment for a decent, middle of the road build?
Aero makes a very good lower for a very fair price.
Faxon barrels can be had on sale.
BCG you want to see what material it’s made from and the finish.
13.7” barrel plus welded and pinned comp/FS should get you past 16” negating the need for pistol or SBR stamp.
I realize that just about everything gun related is presently scarce.

Or an assembled Ruger: $869

I did mention to one of the cubs this afternoon that the Ruger might be the way to go if one could be found.
Keep it off grid
Looking at the Ruger closely, but have already come up with a list of add on's near $500 excluding optics.
Consider the LaRue MBT trigger, I've tried many drop in and enhanced triggers, including three that cost more than twice the LaRue MBT trigger.

They also make a really good drip, though I like the Luth Chubby grip better,

You probbly already know to build an AR pistol you need s lower receiver sold as "Other" or "Pistol" but NOT a rifle and the receiver was never previously assembled into a rifle.
