Forget all the budget AR receivers and parts for this question. With the availability of almost any combo of options you could desire in the top tier ARs available like DD, BCM, LMT, and to a lesser degree to customize but a good base rifle in the Colt 6920, why do you choose to build?
Can you put a DD or BCM together cheaper than buying a factory upper and lower? Is it the "not currently available" of the top tier guns? The satisfaction of making your own from the parts of top makers? Nobody makes a rifle with the specs/options you want? Other?
I have two high quality rifles. Oe all LMT SBR and one LMT lower /BCM upper mid length 16". I could easily build a new upper and would actually enjoy it but the question still stands for me, why do you guys build your own instead of factory with warranty?

but I think I came away with a better understanding and appreciation for the operation of this rifle, how different parts work in conjunction with each other to make this gun run. But it is addicting, now I'm in the process of building my next one. And no I dont think I can build a better rifle than BCM or DD etc. but it sure is nice to mix and match the components of the manufacturers that I do like.
