Why would anyone buy your homebuilt Franken AR?

(Just stirring it up in The Pasture. No AR's or AR builders were harmed in the making of this post, and no offense intended )

If I was depending on an AR for my family's life or other self defense, why would I buy someone's homebuilt version rather than spend a few hundred dollars more for one from a respected manufacturer with well defined QC processes and thousands of rounds tested?

If it is just fun for plinking, don't I still have to make sure the barrel nut was torqued to spec, headspace etc etc etc? So why wouldn't I just put one together myself and get all the parts I want in it and know for sure it was done right?

Some people don't have the time or inclination to build one.

If I'm looking for a cheap AR just to plink with, a build is fine as long as the price is right.

Not everybody is a super awesome tactical operator.

How much money does it cost to make sure it was built right?

Cause you ain't getting that either if you buy PSA, radical, bear creek, bushmaster and a ton of others.

That being said I would happily buy a home build from about 6 people here, and wouldnt from the other 20k unless it was a great deal.

But I also know how to fix what's ****ed up without a YouTube video playing.

Unless it's a really good deal I agree!

I should add that the ones I have bought were parted out as planned at purchase.

 

[Cadcom]

I have no desire to buy one.

Dont judge me because I do all my gunsmithing in my garage while drunk. What could go wrong?

I'll bite. Why?

dunno, when I built my fraken 300blk I built it knowing I wouldn't sell it because it just wouldn't be worth it so I used as much scratch and dented **** as I could to make it as cheap as possible.
