    A couple of different people that I know (not shoot with) have windhams, stags or dpms guns. The fact that walmart has colts for 1100 and these people sill buy those other brands just blows my mind.

    The local Walmart here has a Colt M4 with a rail that has Knight's Rib panels going for $1595

    In my last two "builds," I learned that getting a complete gun from one of the major manufacturers will always be the most economical and efficient way to go. The only caveat is that you should wait for the exact configuration that you want. If you end up switching out barrels, gas blocks and stuff, even if you resell the original parts, it ends up being more troublesome and costly in the end.

    So, summary:

    1. Complete rifles from large manufacturers are the best deals.
    2. Try to buy the rifle with the configuration you want or it could end up more expensive than building from scratch.

    I wish my Walmart could sell Colts but I live in NY, we're not worthy...

    I also deal with 5-10% of the population 80-90% of the time...

    Because there are no factory options and it's cheaper to build one or 2 models instead of 10.

    Yeah I just bought three new Gen2 Pmags for $10 each today. The store had a load of new Gen3 Pmags in and were marking down the old ones to move them out.

    Is your friend mute or retarded or something??

    You really aren't going to get very good deals on local "custom" rifles esp right now. Tell your friend he needs to look into buying new rifles from reputable dealers or high-quality reasonably priced rifles that are posted by members here. Not from bubba bob's "most awesomest custom M16 ever " ad in the local paper.

    BCM's are about the same price too. then the shitty brands charge more. once people research they see the good stuffs the same price. only exception is the ridiculously cheap AR's like del-ton and such that are hundreds less but you get what you pay for there.
