[QUOTE="ByrdC130, post: 2422982, member: 4993"] How many people actually "push" the limits of their rifles? Very few and if your rifle gobs up during a match, that's not really life threatening, frustrating yes. But if the rifle is timed right, with the right feed ramps, decent mags and just a bit of diligence on cleaning/ lubing, most will go bang a very high percentage of the time. I don't think the amount spent on high end parts makes that percentage go up in any sort of ratio to reliability. MIL spec upper & lowers will work weather cast or carved from billet. Worry about correct gas ports, gas block, mags and buffer springs will go a long way towards making a reliable AR. Now money spent on good triggers, sights and such, is where you'll see the ratio of money spent vs results go up is in accuracy. Been looking to build one for a buddy and can build a M-4 flat top, anywhere between $525-750 depending on the goodies wanted. I look for deals on complete uppers and the recent buy of $49 lowers and you can get one fairly cheap and that will shoot when the trigger is pulled. [/QUOTE]
