HEY YALL NEWBIE HERE, THIS IS MY 1ST POST OK SO I'VE HAD SEVERAL ARS IN THE PAST SOME GREAT SOME NOT SO GREAT BUT I'VE NEVER BUILT 1 MYSELF. WHAT I NEED IS INFO ON SOME OF THESE LESS EXPENSIVE KITS($400-500 RANGE). ARE THEY DECIENT OR TOTAL JUNK?? I DONT EXPECT THE $1500 RIFLE QUALITY BUT I DO EXPECT RELIABILITY AND ACCURACY(NOT TACK DRIVER BUT ACCEPTABLE). THERE ARE 3 COMPANYS I'M CONCERNED WITH, MODEL 1 J&T M&A I'M LOOKING TO BUILD A M4/CARBINE GUN AND JUST TO BE UP FRONT I'M NOT INTERESTED IN OPINIONS OR BRAND NAME BIAS, JUST PEOPLE WITH ACTUAL EXPERANCE BUILDING AND/OR SHOOTING THESE KIT GUNS. PICS AND RANGE REPORTS WOULD BE GREAT, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AND YOUR TIME!!!! |
Welcome aboard! As a friendly reminder, all CAPS is considered yelling  I can offer personal experience only with Model 1 Sales. I bought a complete upper and their lower parts kit to put in a spare DPMS lower. I was looking for inexpensive myself. Including the $100 lower I only have $685 in the whole rifle, and that includes a 6-pos stock and a detachable carry handle. Its a fine weapon and it only has one problem; the detent on the selector isn't perfect as it doesn't 'click in' when I select safe the way it does when I select fire. When I'm bored I'll pull out the selector and look at it and see if I can remedy it myself. If not I'll call Model 1 and ask them for a new part. True be told, I have as much fun shooting my $600 'beater' rifle as I do my $2600 tacticool rifle, with all it's top of the line mfgr's, parts, etc.
