    edit: I guess I normally call most of mine by the barrel specs - 14.5" Carbine, 16" Midlength, 11.5" SBR, etc.
    On that I would call it a DD. The way I look at it a lower can be swapped out very easily and the barrel is what makes it what it is.
    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

    M4gery or frankengun works for me and after that if interested enough can inquire as to the composition of the item. Or, if it works for you, who cares!!

    What kind of M4/ AR is it?

    I just call it simply a "build"
    Not by any brand it's just a build, it conveys that now only is it a mixture of parts but that you built it, and not a assembly line.

    I always refer to them just by their barrel length, unless it's one that I have multiples of that particular length, then I include the brand of the lower.

    This is how I answer the question.

    My ar is a Palmetto State Armory upper and an Anderson lower with anderson lpk so I laughingly refer to it as my PalmAnderson. But in reality it's just my mutt carbine.

    Well that sums it up, I typically refer to it as my carbine? i think I've tossed out there that it's a palmetto state setup before which isn't a lie being its a full upper from them.

    Barrel length and gas system seems to be a common and simple reference, for example: "This is my 18 inch middy, and over here is my 16 inch carbine" with further description as desired if you have more than one rifle of the same barrel & gas length.

    Another way I describe them is intended use. "Here is my defensive carbine, and here is my competition rig" or whatever.

    Or you could name your rifle "Jenna" or "Sunshine" or something. I'm not a fan of that personally, but to each their own.

    Or you could be like Johnny Cash and say you got it one piece at a time: "It's a BCM, DD, Spike's, Giessele, CMC, Vortex..."

    If it's made with parts from one manufacturer like Noveske, I'd call it the "Noveske build". If it's a hodge podge of parts from many sources, it's your build or as you would call it"my build". It's important to have the distinction of "build" in the name to distinguish it from an actual factory build by whichever vendor. JMO....
