| Why does building AR-15s become addictive and is there a cure? I built 3 and am starting on my 4th please advise this is getting expensive. |
|
I've been buying stripped blem uppers from LAR. One for a "project upper"I have under way, the other for a "spare". The project gets completed. Then the lone stripped upper sitting on my bench then screams to be put together, and mated to a lower. So I go and order a pair of stripped lowers.....
BRD....Don't fight it. |
| I own 1 Bushmaster and the parts for my 1st build will arive this week. While I am waiting I notice I am planning my 3rd. I just bought a bunch of tools and a new tool box. I have converted my 800 square foot appartments cofee table into a workbench. My GF told me to shut up about how shiney the parts are allready. I've spent a little over $2800. I read Ar15 threads 4 hours a day. I have at least 4 or 5 parts that need a rifle. Soon Ill have 3 rifles that need new parts................................................. |

There is no cure....
After being out of the scene for many years(business/racing) got another AR from a Gun Shop here July 2009... Found out about AR15.com....oh and you can Build Them Yourself...dude!. realized i have a BRD.... Built a lower...bought a upper... Built another lower...upper...AR Pistol... Oh we can collect stamps tooo....SBR pistol... Built another lower....still trying to figure whats next. Oh I need a suppressor now....thats next.

I originally intended to build just one, a varmint/long range plinker. Got it all together except for the barrel I want which is OOS/BO everywhere I look. Then I noticed somehow I ended up with an extra stripped lower. So I guess I might as well order another LPK for it while I'm waiiting for the barrel to become available, and then.......... Looks like I may be coming down with BRD

There is no cure, some 25 AR15's later...  Damn! At 24, I was really hoping the next one would be it... Are you guys married? If you want to cure BRD then get married. You have to buy parts sparingly so they can't figure it out!!!  I caught BRD, AFTER I was married. My wife has a very mild case as well, though, so we get through it together.
