Maybe you guys think I only paid for the upper. They put every single piece together which was around 1375 plus sales tax because it's Louisiana. 8% tax here.
Okay, here's the question...
Will your local gunsmith stand behind his work if that thing goes kaboom on the first ten rounds? Not saying it will, but is his work insured to that extent?
Just like Iraq Guns said in the other thread, you got screwed by someone slapping together parts of questionable quality. Is the barrel MPI or HPT? How's the staking on your BCG? Is it MPI as well or even Carpenter 158? How much did the stock run you and is the receiver extension commercial or mil-spec? (I'm guessing the former if it's a Rock River Arms). Buffer an carbine or H?
Just right there can you see the questions you should have asked? I'm all about supporting local business as well, but dang guy, read first then buy. You can put together a fully functional BCM hammer forged mid length upper with a Centurion rail with a proper spec BCG and upgraded charging handle for $1,123. Drop it into a Palmetto State Armory complete classic lower for $199 and put on a B5 Bravo stock for $58 and a Magpul MOE grip for $20. Sell original stock and grip to offset the cost.
Total after upgrading? $1400 minus whatever you might get for selling the extra parts.
And not only that, comes with a Bravo Company guarantee to work and they will fix it if it's not working correctly. On their dime and typically they pay for shipping.
You're welcome for saving you a hundred bucks as well as finding you a guaranteed to work upper.
Stop being defensive guy, you aren't the first person to get taken for a ride in the craze that has been ongoing since December. But make no mistake, this isn't hostility being directed at you until you start trying to defend your upper that is made with questionable parts. Price you paid doesn't mean squat since I saw S&W Sports and DPMS Oracles going for $1800 back in January. Quality of parts is the only thing that matters
Experience is a cruel teacher, gives the exam first and then the lesson.
