I've had a ah-ha moment with a recent purchase that factory made AR15s can be very nice when purchased in the mid to upper level.
I used to have a bunch and have slowly gotten down to a handful. They are all home builds. I was thinking a really nice factory gun would be a change. Like a Daniel Defense or similar.
Would you kill three to get one nice?
Kind of like selling three Toyota Camry to get a Supra.
Thoughts?
If you want a DD and can afford it-do it. But don't do it because you think you're upping the quality level.
I collect AR-15/M16's and that started back when they were known as SP-1's. Bought that first SP-1 w/4x Colt for $430.00 tax and 100rns of white box included from Shooter's Supply. I've been offered $2,800.00 and just politely smiled and said no. That rifle will still shoot dime sized groups off my bench @100 yrds using my home loads. I have a Colt Delta H-Bar that is one half of a pair, the other being the Delta Elite 10mm. That rifle shoots good as well. I have not bought a new AR since I discovered jigs and 80% receivers and doubt that I ever will. Please understand that I'm not trying to brag here, but I promise you I can build an AR that will match any top of the line factory AR in accuracy and looks for no more than half (and usually less) of the cost of that Primo factory one. There is no reason why you can't either should you choose to. Just my
