Why Buy a name Brand AR-15 when you can build one for less!

Cheaper then an LWRC or POF

I have an Adams gas piston upper in 5.45 russian that I put together for $520 and a cmmg gas piston in 5.56 (used) on gunbroker for $610. I have shot at least 6000 rounds through both and have cleaned them twice. My friend's pof is nice But costs him twice as much ... Broken cam pin. My other buddies lwrc extractor is finicky, pmc won't extract, only expensive ammo.

Good luck getting resale value on that. My rock river cost me close to $1400 with out optics if I built it my self would've been close to $2000 mind you mine was in no way ordered stock

I like buying a name. I'll pay extra for it.

I have an Adams Arms piston kit also. So far it hasn't failed me yet and I love the way that the bolt carrier group remains cool and clean no matter how many rounds I fire. I had an M6A2 from LWRC and it was a lot harder to clean but it did seem more robust!

[Vyppaaa11]

for less? my rock river arms elite operater 2 cost me $1100........but that buys me a $170 bolt carriee assembly, $155 handguard, $155 rear sight, $85 front sight, $120 match grade trigger, $150 stock, $200 barrel, $145 forged upper and a $140 forged lower so pleas tell me how your going to save me over $250 by building my own?

[fastcarss19]

under heavy fire conditions the piston is the only thing keeping the gun ejecting shells, wouldnt it be better to have more than one click between you and failure? im not here to judge it just seems like it would be less reliable than one built in, persay you didnt get it fully installed then were in a life and death situation, the piston shot out the front of the gun, rendering it totaly and utterly useless?

[MrAppleseed88]

Quality??? You got a Hammer forged barrel on that puppy???

[McSnusing1]

@notanotherCoDfan you would need to buy a .223 barrel then to because your brass case wouldn't go into the chamber

[elox02]

@Luddhabuddha amen! Completely agree.

[MrMosinNagant1937]

@notanotherCoDfan no one of those colt umarex .22 ar-15 wanna bes are not interchangeable same with the m&p 22
