My Semi Custom Build.

[Iraqgunz]

I am a little confused. Both of "what" have seen combat?

It goes bang every time I pull the trigger. What more do I need? Not to mention Colt and BM both use Cardinal Forge among others for their receivers. Also a new LE6920 is $1179 at impactguns. A Bushmaster M4 Patrolman is $1069, also at impactguns. So I would call that the price of 2 Aimpoints for either weapon. Not to mention both have seen combat.



$99 for the upper.
$205 for the barrel

Sold original HBAR for $150 and the A2 upper for $75. So total net cost was $79

Both brands have been battle tested. Contractors and LEO use Bushmaster and Colt is .mil issue.

I understand. I ask because the barrel and upper not of quality and isn't something that I would purchase. For a little more you could have purchased a complete BCM upper receiver group.

The upper is a Cardinal Forge stamped upper and the barrel is a 1:9 twist chrome lined barrel. Good enough for me.

Well I was responsible for 500 BM's as a contractor in Iraq for years and they were pieces of crap. Tight chambers, just a name a few things. I wouldn't be calling them battle tested especially since very few contractors were engaged in "combat". This is only based upon my 5 years in Iraq and another year in A'stan.

Thanks for your service. But as stated before. I think it's good enough for me, unless small town Carlisle gets invaded. In which case, I'm leaving, not fighting.

You should be ok. You have that idiot police chief Joe Ball and his Spetsnaz shovel wielding buddy and imposter John Gidduck protecting you.

You've posted your rifle up on a website devoted to serious use firearms. Don't be so defensive when someone, with experience, points out that your toy isn't up to snuff.

Just because Bushmaster and Colt use the same forge for the raw forging, doesn't mean they are finished by the same place, or even to the same specifications.

Fact of life is that some companies build to a known quality standard, and some, well, don't. You picked plenty of quality accessories, but your base rifle is based on poor components.

Many of us have made the same mistake (you should have seen my first AR15 years ago). You can either delude yourself that yours is "good enough", or you can educate yourself, and make better purchases in the future.
