[QUOTE="ljb2of3, post: 1997127, member: 13873"] I have yet to buy an off the shelf AR. Granted, I only have two, but I built them both from bare receivers. It's simple to do and I learned how an AR worked in the process. I only recently got in to guns, having grown up in a house that didn't have any. Interestingly, my first gun purchase was actually a bare upper and lower. Building them is almost as fun as shooting them. It's addicting, I am currently collecting parts for my 3rd upper and I'm already planning a 4th and 5th in other calibers. My first AR initially worked fine, but developed some FTE issues later on. After swapping around buffers it's back to shooting 100%. My second AR has been 100% so far, but it's only a few months old. I wouldn't have a problem buying a franken-gun from someone else if the parts that went in to it were brands I liked. I'd treat it like all of my guns, I wouldn't trust it until I had several hundred rounds though it and knew how it performed. I feel that way about factory guns too. [/QUOTE]
