If he wants to "build up his own", then you don't start with a M&P... you will be paying for stuff that he doesn't want. You start with a stripped lower. If he doesn't really want to "build" but he wants certain rails, grips, etc., then you should look at rifles that come without stocks, handguards, sights, etc.... You buy what you want and add to the rifle. These are referred to as OEM models. Aero and Colt both have these kind of offerings. Unfortunately, S&W does not.
While this is a great gift you are wanting to get your husband, you should probably talk to him about it and let him pick what he wants.
