As the title says... Factory new -or- Full build
When I started this thread, my intent was to see the best deal each individual has gotten, be it a factory new, or full build rifle; either built up by yourself or someone else. I stated "Full build" because I didn't want to see guys putting every single peice of gear up here and what they paid for it ( I imagined getting thousands of hits from guys who got a deal on X gear for X dollars, and that would be a huge waste of time thread; rather just "whole" rifle, wether you bought the parts from 1500 different manufacturers or one, and built it yourself or had someone else build it...). Just a complete rifle be it built by yourself/someone else or factory new...
Again this thread was an attempt to educate those who have yet to buy a rifle and get into this world too deep; to help them see you don't have to spend $2,000.00 for a top shelf weapons system. That way they wouldn't just buy the most expensive gun they could find because "Dan-o gun seller" tells them they have to spend at least X amount of dollars or they get a crap platform. So by all means if you took the time to hunt for cheap but good parts and built a Franken-LWRC for $500.00 bucks, post the sucker!!!!!!!! Let the guys looking to buy a rifle see how good of a deal they can get with a bit of knowledge and patience.
I always hear sellers at gun shows telling the noobs what "They need"; and no surprise it is always the most expensive and/or least quality item on there tables. Just trying to open some eyes. I know when I first went out to buy an AR, I was green as hell; if I wouldn't have been a patient man (two years of research before I was comfortable/knowledgable enough to move forward) and needed to be well informed before my purchase; I more than likely would have ended up with a $1,200.00 Oly arms piece of crap with a DPMS lower/LPK (Wanted an AR type rifle so badly I almost ignored my better judgement and bought this very rifle at Tanner; very glad I did not!) that wouldn't have lasted me much more than a month or so with the way I shoot (lot's and hard) I've seen this scenario too many times, even a family member didn't take my advice and bought the aforementioned POS and he is still pissed that he didn't wait and bought an inferior platform for an inflated price tag!!! Don't want that to happen to other folks. This is a small attempt to help out somehow. Hope it works/helps!
Hope that clears things up regarding what is allowed to be posted in this thread.
Lot's of nice deals on here, keep'em coming!!!!!
I want to know where some of you guys shop!!!!!!!!

We interrupt this programme to bring you an important news bulletin: the suspect in the Happy Times All-Girl Glee Club slaying has fled the scene and has managed to elude the police. He is armed and dangerous, and has been spotted in the West Side area, armed with a meat cleaver in one hand and his genitals in the other...
