Was there a wait for what you purchased? If you saved time, cool but you know if you ever want to sell it, having purchased it all NIB as a complete rifle will keep hold greater value then a 'build' ever will. Upper purchased in sept Lower dec BCG last thursday BUIS tuesday It's all LMT |

I don't know. I would just pay the $75 difference and buy a complete rifle. That's just me ymmv. Sometime building it for the same price is a lot better then just buying something. This way you already know it inside and out before you even pull the trigger. |
