I tried reloading not for me yet could I know it helps with accuracy thoughNo need to get defensive, I am genuinely curious as an avid reloader. I don't know why you enter these conversations to tout your experiences with rifles without wanting to prove your claims.
Enjoy your rifle, but don't steer less experienced users in the wrong direction with circumstantial evidence. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
That's why most build their own. You don't have to throw away a mil spec trigger assembly, handguard, and you get the parts you want to make your rifle for what you want it to do.I went with a decent quality, hopefully durable, affordable home build. I couldn’t find anything that checked ALL my boxes. Period. If I wanted to go with the factory built quality I wanted, I would have had to spend double or more. So I ended up building my own. Homemade has garbage resale value as a unit, it’s worth more parted out. I don’t plan on selling mine anyways. It’s built exactly how I want, it has good quality components in a proven configuration with great bang for your buck parts. Mostly built as a all around general purpose rifle, that I could use for self defense in a pinch, and to shoot some varmints if it tickled my fancy, cause realistically, that’s all it will be used for. Sadly, there is t anything near creek in the build. Sorry @Bocephus123
Exactly. That was one thing that killed me. I really wanted a BCM, but I didn’t want the barrel, trigger, charging handle, or muzzle device. I wanted a pinned gas block, pinned and welded muzzle device. Etc etc. buying a complete rifle and then taking 3/4 of it apart and replacing those part just didn’t make sense for what I wanted and was cost prohibitive considering the end result.That's why most build their own. You don't have to throw away a mil spec trigger assembly, handguard, and you get the parts you want to make your rifle for what you want it to do.
Like I said earlier, the only two factory built AR's I own are sitting in the safe unfired because the ones I built are the ones that get fired and trust.
no problem ill shoot with you! Also to add my buddy i shoot with who i learned a lot from and shoot with a couple times a month.. was in 21years and all over the world.. was issued a Bushmaster which to me is a cheap gun. he he agreed.I plan on making a post about it tomorrow, but I recently came across this similar question, as seen in a post shared on page one.
I feel like it all boils down to “what you need” as others have mentioned. Do you need something to shoot coyotes with? Throw in the feed truck? Defend the house in the city? Defend the house on your 40 acres without shooting the mule? Compete with? Shoot on the range? Do you want something that will last the roughly 14 seconds most will statistically survive in a firefight during the end of the world? Are you gonna shoot 20 rounds through it to sight it in before shoving it in the back of the safe for the next 20 years? Maybe shoot 100-200 rounds a year? 1000? 5000?
