Voila!!
build /bɪld/ Show Spelled [bild] Show IPA verb, built or ( Archaic ) build·ed; build·ing; noun
verb (used with object)
1. to construct (especially something complex) by assembling and joining parts or materials: to build a house.
2. to establish, increase, or strengthen (often followed by up ): to build a business; to build up one's hopes.
While I agree that the AR is a simple thing to assemble especially when ordering parts from the internet and tightening a few allens..... I cant really see how it could be a "Build"
Its just easier to title a thread, "New AR Build" over
" New AR pieces"
I think "Building" something has something to do with using a grinder and a hammer.

No form of AR is a build because nobody here built them. Others made this happen...

The context of what the discussion is about dictates the difference but the words mean basically the same thing. When talking about AR's that we put together, you assemble them or build them, take your pick. Who cares? I prefer the word assemble because it takes no skill and a few tools. Again, semantics.
If talking about kitchen cabinets, you assemble IKEA. You build custom cabinets out of wood you cut yourself into the shape you want and nail, glue and screw the pieces together. This takes talent.
AR15's are the IKEA of firearms. Hopefully we can beat this topic into a 4th page.

You guys have made some good points as to what is a "build" and what is simply assembling or adding mods.
I didn't "build"my AR in the eyes of the pros, but maybe just to me and my abilities I "built" it to my liking. (if that makes any sense)
The Moderators and Staff must be laughing so hard at the length and content of this thread that they can't even hit the "Closed" button!![]()
