I didn't make it up (though I my wording is probably not the exact wording I heard others use). It came up a few times in discussions with people when discussing rifles -- people generally thought of as being on top of things. It's been a while.
And it is generally in agreement with your post on the subject.
Someone once said something to me about having a "Frankengun" and he had a factory DD rifle.
So I compared:
He had a DD lower.
I had an AP lower. (AP = Aero Precision -- this was before DD was selling their lowers stripped -- another gun I of mine I would compare against his I used a stripped DD lower on so that would match; but it has a troy forearm)
He had a DD upper.
I had a DD upper.
He had a DD rail/forearm.
I had a DD rail/forearm.
He had a DD BCG
I had a DD BCG
He had DD LPK.
I had a mixed Colt and I forget who LPK. I had a Colt trigger / selector / hammer and the rest were good name but I forget (this was like 3.5 years ago)
He had a Magpul stock
I had a Vltor stock (though my second one I referenced above has a Magpul stock)
He had a Vickers sling
I had a vickers sling.
He had an Aimpoint micro (probably a T1)
I had an Aimpoint micro (T1).
He had a fixed Front and a DD rear fixed.
I had Troy flip ups front and rear.
His was made by a DD employee probably earning $15/hour (just a guess).
Mine was put together very carefully by me.
Which one is more Frankengun?
