[QUOTE="CAR-AR-M16, post: 1197856, member: 204"] I think you hit the nail on the head. If you have a franken gun built with high end parts then I would say they are equal or maybe even better than most factory guns. I think the point Pat ws making is about the guys who put together an AR with cheap and suspect quality gun parts and then wonder why their guns don't work and start talking about how all AR's are junk. As for me, all 3 of my AR's are franken guns (actually 2 franken AR's an 1 franken M16). However, all the parts are are BCM, Colt, Global Tactical, etc.. parts which are good parts. About the only low end parts on mine are the lowers and that is just because I bought them 20 years ago when there was not much else available and I did not know what was best. The lower itself is probably the least important though. A quality barrel, BCG, LPK and magazines are, in my humble opinion, the most important components as far as accuracy and reliability. All 3 of mine have run reliably for 1000's of rounds and I would not hesitate to stake my life on them. [/QUOTE]
