DPMS? UTG? YHM?

Good questions.

I stated that the rifle was being built with HD in mind, as opposed to owning a rifle built or purchased specifically for long range paper punching.

Been there, done that.

Why would you want a "low-budget" home defense gun? Plinking? Sure, why not. It'd be a fun project, but for a bump-in-the-night rig, you'd be better served with quality components.

How many rounds did you put through it to determine reliability?

UTG in the current set-up. Solid rail, for sure.

I'll eventually install a YHM Diamond Specter. It looks like a very decent rail and the install is fairly easy. Also easy on the wallet.

I am definitely interested in the Umbrella Corp.grip. The angle is similar to the Gunfighter (which I like) and it appears to be wider. Which is my biggest complaint about the Gunfighter and it being too narrow. It also has a much thicker upper backstrap area. Will have to try this out and see if I like it. Price point appears to be good. Around the same as a MOE grip.

Here's a picture from Stick that is featured in this Military Times article:

The rifle was previously owned by a good friend. He was the original owner and had only run a few hundred rounds down the pipe. We ran about 150 more this past weekend. No issues at all. It ran flawlessly with 4 different types of ammo.

Why not Low-Budget AR for HD?? In your opinion is there a monetary amount that has to vested into a HD AR that automatically equates to superior quality and long term reliabilty??

Amended to include:
I completely understand the your question and it's intent. There are areas in a build that I will not compromise. Optic mount(s) is one. I'll either go with Larue or ADM fo the CMR mount.

First of all, this entire first post belongs in the AR Picture Thread.

No, there is a certain monetary amount to buy certain brands of ARs and their accessories that are proven in their quality and reliability. About $1000 for a Colt, Daniel Defense, BCM, or LMT rifle, about $400 for a red-dot optic and mount, and about $100-200 for a decent basic light and mount. If you include a rail, expect to spend at least another $100 or so.

Shoot the piss out of it. Safely. Good luck...

Where have you been brother?! That grip on Stick's SBR is Umbrella's too. They've got a facebook page with some updates and more of Stick's photos

I don't keep up on social media. I got the lowers and have been visiting their webpage, WWW.ucwrg.com, every week since getting the lowers. I talked to the owner about the grips and other things they are going to be putting out which also includes some new type of barrel. No details. From what I can remember, the grips are contracted to magpul to make and looked pretty sweet, but I have been in a long lasting affair with my MIAD grips. Can't ditch them for the latest and greatest unfortunately.
