I just spent big bucks on a Geiselle Trigger, MGI Buffer, MIAD grip, and KNS pins...
none of which I NEED but all of which I WANT. I thought about not buying them and getting ammo instead...but I got ammo, and I practice alot. That...and BRD is a powerful addiction. ADCO, GTS, and MGI....thank you and you're welcome!!!  That said, this current build is complete....and I will buy a few more bits & handgun mags to round everything off. After that, thankfully, I'll stock up on ammo and disappear into the sunset forever. I must break away from this place. My name is Hokie, and I am an addict. AR15's should have a f'n 12-step detoxification program. |

I already have 3 ARs. I ended up getting a bubba'd AR in a trade. After getting rid of a few things, I'll have a complete Bushmaster upper and lower receiver set. My next question was, of course, "What do I want to build".
Not if. Not when, just what. Addicted. |

At times my wife threatens to admit me into a clinic....
my first response is usually "SWEET!!!! 3-Gun??? Advanced Combat Handgun???" she then usually shakes her head and walks away. |

I'm trying to put together the cash for my first build now.
My poor little RRA lower, siting in the safe all by itself.  I just can't figure out WHAT I want to build.

You have to want to be cured in order to BE cured. I'm in the same boat as you. I just bought 2 M16A2 stocks and an M16 stock at the gunshow this weekend. Why? I'm not really sure, but my subconcious is gathering parts for 2 or 3 more builds that I don't know about yet WIZZO |

I just finished one build (dissapator with a full length gas system), started another (A2 NM Rifle), and am planning a 4th (Lightweight).
Does the detox program come with a discount on parts?

Yeah it is. I just looked at my CC statement for this month.
 Then I realized that I just did an order to GTS and one to Bravo that wasn't even posted yet.  Damn BRD. I sold $2500 worth of stuff this month so that will help a little.

I too admitt to being an addict. After 3 carbines and 1- 20" build, I had to have a 24" bull barreled build. Good optics are exspensive,the SPR stock, is a must have, Badger Ordance rings, did not think I would spend that much on rings. And of course a rifle length rail from MI, and the list goes on, and on.

I am on #4
First one was an RRA, I got the reciever free as the result of a crappy lower I bought. Then, back when I thought I was going to get an LRB M14 barrelled reciever, I went and got one of their AR lowers. I got off the M14 but kept the AR... Manufacturer of crappy lower mentioned above insisted on sending me a replacement so that one's in the safe awaiting build. In the meantime I got a set of jaw blocks for building my own uppers... Now I am gearing up to buy an LMT complete lower and I bought an M16A1 upper from CDNN. It never ends. I am sorry about the LRB M14, the wait was too long and BRD struck... Maybe someday... |

I started tinkering with ARs a few years back, pretty soon they took over the house. I sold all but one, however I have come across a barrel nut, a set of handguards and a carbine gas tube so I will do one more.

Luckiny I have done enough swapping of parts, horse trading, and buying/selling to build my gun that I, nor anyone else could tell you how much I actually have into the gun.
I can tell you that I need another $1200 or so to finish it the way I want it..... LW enhanced b/bc assem. PRI front sight, nice rear flip up of some sort New grip...well 2, one for the gun and a matching one for the ARMS VFG. THen there is the question of optics. Doubt I'll be replacing the trigger, I polished up the stock one, and I ain't about precision anyhow. I just started in october with my first built and I have a buttload of $ in my gun, and now with these kB! threads showing up with horrific regularity, I am thinking of building a spare AR. ugh...it truly is a sickness. |
