    I build my own computer setups, so when it came time to get an AR build, I followed suit and built an AR. More pride of ownership, money savings, getting what you want and passing on what you don't.

      I bought a M&P15 for like five or six hundred bucks and the custom I’m building now is almost double that in just the upper. You can build one cheaper or waaay more expensive. I figured if I’m piecing my own together I might as well do it exactly how I want it

      Well? How’s she shoot?! Lol
      I’ve got two 16s an two pistols and even a 22lr but no long range. Not sure which caliber I want yet. Deciding on 308 or 338. 308 would probably be much easier to source parts but I’m leaning towards the lapua right now

      @Player_Review Před 4 lety

      @@Spoons7414 When I eventually get around to an AR-10 (probably next), definitely going .308 here, though the reason is I already have a bolt-action Model 70 in that caliber so I have the ammo. Otherwise I'd consider .338 Lapua or if I wanted something lighter then 6.5 Creedmoor. I really like .308 though, but I've maxed out at 400 yards with deer hunting, so I'm no expert.

    One big thing about building your own is you can spread the cost out, coming up with the 600 or so to buy a complete one can be challenging but 60 this week, 100 or so in a couple more weeks and before you know it you have a rifle and one built to your preferences

      @Docprepper Před 5 lety +4

      CHUD but you don’t end up w the rifle until all payments are made. Might as well build one and have the product forming in your hands rather make payments and POOF there’s a rifle in the mail or at your local FFL A

    • @chud1858
      @chud1858 Před 5 lety +2

      @@Docprepper If you can find the parts you want, you could do that. Nothing wrong with building. My comment was directed towards someone who wants a factory-built rifle but may not have enough for a "high end" brand. Up until this year, I never found a factory-built rifle that had everything I wanted. I would've had to change the handguard, or the stock, or the BUIS. In that sense, yes, it would be better to build one. BUT if you find a factory-built rifle that you really like and has what you want, there are places that will work with you to get that. The OP was saying spend a little here and a little there and you eventually will have the whole rifle. It's no different with making payments on a factory-built rifle; you make payments here and there and eventually you will have the whole rifle.

More gun shops should offer those services without looking to charge when a customer buys a AR that they want to build. Good on you guys for helping to make it a great experience with your purchase.

Now I'm ready to build one and this channel helps. I hate the channels that say beginners, I may be new at building but I'm well experienced on operating said rifles and more. So I dont need to be talked down to by someone who has never been shot at.

    @12:08 you can make the barrel less than 16" without nfa paperwork: first it can be 14.5" barrel with a pinned muzzle device and the second is to make an ar pistol

    Every gun I have ever bought the first thing I do is take the whole thing apart and then back together. Know your gun. I love seeing who different guns work.

    What I did= I bought a complete lower with the trigger and stock that I wanted. Then I bulit an upper from scratch. I picked the barrel I wanted, the free-float handguard I wanted, along with a custom charging handle and bcg I wanted. Voila, I got exactly what I wanted.
