I'm a little confused - After considering an ADS and a parts gun from J&T/DS, I had narrowed my choice on a 2nd AR to a Bushmaster from my local Sportsman's Warehouse or an LMT from Grant.
Bushmaster was around $900, but I'd buy a spare LMT BCG - total cost around $1030. It would be an exact copy of my existing rifle (still need to buy the LMT BCG as a spare for that one though).
My other option is an LMT from Grant at $1250, but I would still buy a spare LMT BCG for $130, bringing the cost up to $1380.
I figure a spare BCG is a good thing to have, regardless of make of rifle.
Then I saw this posted on this thread...
Here is my confusion...You can buy an LMT (in parts) for around $929 and don't have to "swap" anything out.
On the LMT web site, I priced out seperate components to make a complete rifle as follows...
LMT : 16" Upper Receiver Assembly with flash suppressor - $485
LMT : 5.56, Standard F/A Bolt Carrier Group - $129
LMT : Charging Handle Assembly - $23
LMT : Handguards - $39
LMT : Defender Lower with Collapsing Stock and Standard Trigger - $330
LMT : Tactical Adjustable Rear Sight - $119
Total cost - $1125
None of the parts listed were at the high end of LMT's options list. Even so, what can I eliminate that I don't need to bring the price down? I'd still probably buy from Grant, either a complete gun or parts, but how do I get it down to the level he mentioned earlier?
