Or because we may have one or two "nice" ones, and are busy building an arsenal to outfit our friends.
When it comes to supplying arms and ammo for others, I find that function and reliability are most important. Other "cool" factors, not so much. When you're building a dozen rifles like I am, you don't feel the need to buy top-end stuff. It's just unnecessary.
LWRC does not have the greatest reputation anyways. This is one brand I would consider being over priced for what they are. Guess we will see what happens when they go under the Colt camp.
What are you referring to in regards to LWRC? Just curious. I've owned 2 of their rifles and while I find that the piston system to be unnecessary, I never found any issues with their design or quality.
That's exactly right. I have friends and family wanting to shoot ar's all the time. That's what the cheap truck gun builds are for.Or because we may have one or two "nice" ones, and are busy building an arsenal to outfit our friends.

i like this guy....
Budget builds can be good quality if you do your homework.
However, I would always go with what you know and if you can't afford it, you don't need it, but that's just me

I have followed this thread with interest. I have a certain set of features I look for in building a rifle. I want a 1-7 twist barrel with a pinned gas block made of stainless or CMV and chrome lined, a Carpenter 158 bolt, an 8620 carrier, and a nice trigger. If I can get those features for $500 instead of $1000, I will. I don't care about roll marks, names or anything else.
There are a lot of vendors that sell parts from the same manufacturer with a different name marked on the part for vastly varying sums of money. With that in mind, I try to find the cheapest option that meets my criteria.
