I'm curious to see how many own commercial stock guns or builds. Let's say for the sake of the poll "commercial stock" means a manufactured rifle. For the sake of the poll "stock" still includes changing out the furniture or similar minor mods. "Build" means that it was assembled by you or someone else at least 50% meaning you could slap an already assembled upper on a lower you completed yourself or you built everything from individual components. |

I only have two lowers and three uppers. I assembled the lowers myself, which allows me to add Noveske QD endplates and the stock of my choice (I used Stag LPKs and Stag or DD receiver extensions and springs).
I don't have the tools or space for assembling uppers (yet), so I buy them complete. |

Factory is over rated I use to think thats the ONLY way to have a Quality SHTF M4 Cant tell any difference between My Factory Colt,Bushmaster,LMT To my home made Bushy lower with VLTOR tele and a LMT M4 upper w/ CMT carrier/Bolt & CH |

both of my ARs (M4wannabe and AR15A2) are factory assembled, if something did go wrong with them within the warranty period, I'm not on any board asking what is wrong with my gun? and spending more money for parts, that may not be the problem, to fix them. I will send it off and have them deal with the problem.
the "third" AR I have is a COLT M16A1 complete upper that I bought shortly after the AWB ended in 04, that I can mate to the A2 AR lower assy. |

I do not own a single factory AR. I was just curious. |

| I have essentially 1 built rifle and a factory Spikes Middy upper. What I would have saved building the upper wasn't worth the effort since I know everything is going to be rock solid already. The other upper I built is the "extended range" upper I always wanted, and no one makes it like this. My lower is almost like the upper, no one could build it for close to the same money I could when you count labor. So far, I have found that, in my opinion, a factory rifle takes some of the fun out of owning and running an AR-15. Since the rifle is extremely simple to put together, why not save some labor cost? And its kinda cool when your gun runs like a bat outta hell at a rifle course or a 3-gun match. |
(kind of an AR)
