One has to keep in mind that a new Noveske upper "around a grand", is not going to have a free float handguard, nor a decent muzzle device, nor most likely a SS barrel, so you will have to include the additional cost of upgrading it if one is to compare apples to apples on the cost of building it yourself.
That's not a knock on Noveske, they make great stuff, but my last Wilson Combat build cost me around $800. The equivalent Noveske upper runs $1475.
You can save a ton of money if you have any mechanical skills using top end Noveske, Wilson Combat, Larue etc., components and build it yourself.
