Down the road I’ll upgrade the trigger and charger, maybe the bolt


A lot of ppl start off by buying the cheapest rifle they can from PSA, BCA, etc, Then ultimately sink hundreds and hundreds more into it by replacing all the parts that came on it instead of just buying a BCM or something similar in the first place that had all the high quality parts and QC to begin with.

Maybe so, but all I’ve done to mine is swap springs and add optics. But I’m a light AR user.

Not always.

What parts exactly are they replacing compared to buying a complete BCM?

Barrel and bolt carrier group maybe. Maybe at best

Because the parts don’t work or because they join some gun forums and everybody tells them their hardware just doesn’t have enough Tier 1 mojo?

It’s all about the journey and learning. I’ve spent thousands more than I should have buying and upgrading parts to get what Reddit tells me is tier 1. Along the way I have learned so much and put tens of rounds through my multiple setups.
