[QUOTE="Duncandl, post: 3467801, member: 4389"] I had to break the old laptop out for this one: From buying my first AR only to realize it was a "Frankenbuild" with quality parts to my second factory gun at the Tinker Exchange I think I can share some information on this topic. My first was a Noveske with a Troy hand guard that I didn't love and wanted to go back completely Noveske rifle, which resulted in countless hours scouring the internets for those high-dollar parts, successfully and at a prime penny out of my pocket and boxes arriving at my house that I had to "tap dance" for, lol (part of the fun, I think). The 2nd was an AR that I have still never fired but felt like I needed a factory gun just in case I ever needed it and had to count on it, S&W M/P-15T with a barrel that sold it. Still sitting in the box with lots of little accessories that come off and on with ease, because I happen to have bought way too many while thinking this was pretty simple mechanics and I should build my own! I could go on and on about what I bought, what I passed up and regretted but I won't. I will share with everyone that building an AR is relatively easy with the proper tools and education from the innerwebs/YouTube but it will never hold the value a factory rifle will. It might be better but in the long run your knowledge of what makes any AR tick will be of benefit to you on the range and in your mind, knowing why something didn't work or worked better the next time with a little tweaking here and there. Whichever way you choose, enjoy it!! Take every bit of education with a grain of salt and learn it to your best ability. And then share that info. Dave [/QUOTE]
