[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2913222, member: 1132"] You'd have to quantify "superior" to start off with. While BCM offers a metric ton of configurations, I'd say being restricted to configurations that aren't compatible with the user's specific needs, isn't superior. BCM probably isn't even a good example. While they do offer some basic, no frills rifles, most of the ones they sell aren't. They're what you'd rightly call a semi-custom, and you pay semi-custom prices. Same goes for Noveske to a lesser extent, and a handful of others. If you're a patrol officer and need a slightly overgassed 16" patrol carbine that won't break the bank, will reliably send any ammo you feed it, while still tolerating a moderate amount of neglect, I'll recommend a Colt 6920 If you're a prolific rifle class aficionado, I'll recommend going to KAC, BCM, Noveske, etc. If you're "Burk Cornelius" and need a 3-Gun rig that will reliably send A-Zone hits at warp speed out to 600, I'll recommend an 18" JP Rifles CTR-02. If you're a hog hunter who also wants his rifle to double for deer in the Midwest, I'll recommend Bison Armory for a 6.8. If you're a western varmint hunter, ARP, and so on and so on... If it's me and I've owned stuff from a bunch of the above, plus have the requisite time, tools and expertise to build, I'm probably gonna build. Keep in mind that even though I've paid for complete Noveske and BCM rifles, I tend to be cheap and hunt sales. I also demand quality, which means top shelf components, albeit on sale or at least what I consider a bargain. If a part comes in slightly out of spec, I'll either return it, or work it until it's in spec. If it's got a burr, I'm gonna remove it. If it's a friction part and it has a rough surface, I'm gonna polish it. Whatever the issue, when it's built, it won't have any issues. It will be the right length, weight, balance, caliber, recoil, trigger, optic and muzzle attachment, and it's gonna work. The one plus to the factory rifles above is that if I have to sell it, it will have wider appeal and better retained value. That's why I recommended KAC on page one. That doesn't mean a factory or even semi-custom rifle is superior to a specific home build. If you've seen one home build, you've seen one home build, not all home builds. JMO, YMMV. [/QUOTE]
