rules are posted here (https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=82447)
To all concerned.
The custom build area is a place to show off and or ask questions about your custom build. If you are going to post pictures of your build, please post a complete picture not just your parts, partial lowers, etc....
Also, buying an upper separate and then a lower and throwing them together does not constitute a custom build. It would also be nice if you took time to explain how you came to your decision and explain your set up. Thanks.
I think, first of all, that the "it would be nice if you took the time to..." should be amended to "you must take the time to...".
Secondly, I think there should be a requirement that you actually have some rounds downrange with the gun if you're going to post about it. I don't think I'm alone in that I don't care about your list of parts and vanity photo if you haven't gotten out and tested your theory. Or, if it's a "critique my build" thread it should be a requirement that the poster include their prior experience with the AR FOW as well as WHY they chose the parts in their list that we are supposed to critique.
Finally, I'd suggest a link to the photo thread for those that simply want to post their vanity picture because they are so proud of they new hotness. If all you're going to do is post a picture and a list of parts it strikes me that the photo thread is far more appropriate.
Yes, I'm aware that many people won't read the rules and will post their vanity thread anyway but this way at least the rules would be clear when the post gets moved or the thread is locked.
