Ummm...I hate to break this to you, but if you tried to construct an S-System from aftermarket parts, you'd end up forking out somewhere in the vicinity of $700.- The SIRS, whether from Samurai or ICS, is close to $200.- Then add the folding sights, enhanced ("LE Style") buttstock, one-piece metal barrel, etc. and you're looking at serious money. The basic S-System, however, is around $320.- less battery. Even with gearbox upgrades factored in, it's cheaper for me to buy an S-System M4 and convert my existing M4 to a short-barrel CQB gun than to buy a SIRS (plus accessories) for the M4 I have now and then buy a seperate CQB weapon.
On the subject of the M14, I'm going to wait until I have some data on the upcoming Hudson M14/M21. Reports say it's going to be a gas-blowback, which IMO is a better choice for a marksman's weapon, since it eliminates the trigger lag all AEGs suffer (except for the PSG-1).
