I get what you're saying but even if I had a sub-250 bucks gun stolen I'm going to feel like crap.But get this. You buy the lower for 99 bucks. Then they have Magpul equipped uppers for 239. Slap them together and you have a 339 dollar AR-15 truck gun. Make that 239 if you want just standard furniture in grey or black. Hell I am tempted just for a range toy. Or just keep in my truck at all times. If it gets stolen you are not loosing the farm. That's just cheap. I know you get what you pay for but at that price you could afford a few upgrades to increase reliability and still be under 500. That's with BCG and CH. I would like to have 5 just to have when the market goes berserk.
If I had a potato gun made out of PVC pipe stolen I'm gonna feel a little bad.
I don't want my stuff to get stolen.
