Re: Building my First AR-15

There's certainly more comfort for the buyer when it's brand name X versus a piece built by Jim Bob in his basement. Having said that, if Jim Bob knows what he's doing, sometimes that's a great rifle. It's like selling a custom bike or car, if the buyer's taste match yours then great, otherwise ouch.

You can spend outrageous money on AR parts and pieces. If it's worth it to you then go for it.

I've been shooting a lot of carbine matches lately. The expensive guns and the cheap guns all pretty much run the same and break the same. Competition will reveal weaknesses rapidly, especially if it wasn't built right (home built or factory). Magazines and ammo matter a lot for reliability, but ultimately it's the shooter that makes the difference. Good doesn't necessarily mean $$.
