There was a thread on another forum where a guy was trying to build a RRA AR by buying the upper and lower separately. So he went through the catalog and added everything up. To his surprise, it was more expensive to do it this way than to buy a complete weapon.
This peaked my interest and I pulled out my RRA dealer sheet and started to crunch some numbers. I wanted to see if it was cheaper to buy RRA upper and lower seperate (saving you the 11% FET). When I added everything up, it wasn't! So I ran the numbers and that it appears that RRA builds in the FET (+ some) when you buy the components seperate. So it is much cheaper (in RRA's case) to buy a complete weapon VS the parts way (FYI).
Now I started to crunch some numbers with Stag Arms and see if the same was true. It wasn't. You save the 11% (and then some) when you buy a Stag upper and lower seperate.
It is very interesting to see how different manufacturers do things.
