It's fine to like your poverty pony Anderson (or whatever your budget brand of choice is), but it's laughable to try belittle someone for preferring a quality brand and product.

Why is it people like you and fricknut get bent out of shape when someone questions what someone says. This is a forum to discuss topics and opinions. Get off your high horse.
You were the same person talking shite about Form 1 lowers

The difference in tolerance accepted can lead to the difference between a wobbly fit between and upper and lower and a nice tight fit with no movement. I've put the same factory BCM upper on a PSA lower and Noveske lower and the fit is vastly better on the Noveske.

Eh, this is the most action this thread has had in a while. If it took an aNdErSoN iS jUsT aS gOoD post to get it going, so be it

I'm not losing sleep over you comparing lower quality AR components to higher quality AR components, simply pointing out that it is not an apples to apples comparison and certain lower priced components are not just as good as higher priced components.
A Honda and a Porsche will both get you where you need to be. Both can be reliable. It just depends on personal preference of what you want, but no one is saying that a Honda is the same as a Porsche.

While the comment about "wasting money" was made and probably unnecessary, it's a fair question to say:
What is the value proposition for paying $250 for something that can be had for significantly less.
The answer could have easily been what you stated... fit and finish, quality, it looks pretty, etc... No one need justify their answer on why they spend money in the manner they choose, but DB seems to attract these kinds of "conversations" across multiple boards.

I asked you was was the added benefit and you said there wasn't one.
Huh? Of course there are benefits to spending almost $400 on a complete BCM lower vs $130 on a complete PSA lower. Better stock, better pistol grip, and most importantly, a better reputation for QC and customer service.

Yeah, Noveske probably makes the best lowers.
BCM refuses to sell stripped lowers. Same with Daniel Defense.

The first thing you did in this thread was cry about your $100 billet receiver.

Stop lying. I answered two different people who weren't bitches about it. You don't really wonder why I've been making fun of you for two days, do you?

I did say that. It was my first reply...

What are you really gaining from an expensive receiver?
Tolerance? Aesthetics?
Yes.
Consistency. Customer service. Fit and finish. Habit. Whether all that's worth the extra money is subjective. To me, it is. To others, maybe not.
Nothing wrong with the less expensive alternatives, and I have several. The rifle I carry around my property most of the time was built on a matched Aero Precision set.

Not to that specific poster. You decided to make a snarky post...

So what does that 250$ receiver do that my $100 dollar billet doesnt?
Why does it have to do something? Don't get offended because I spend more money on my receivers. That'd be silly.

I get it...I don’t love them all but some are good to me. I don’t look at it as bad as truck nuts...more like some new rims
What I don’t like is a row of ar15s from 20 companies that look and operate identical. So I have some plain Jane Milspec ones but I have some that are not. I’ll build them up in different calibers and change it up some.
That entire rifle triggers the shite out of my OCD.
My 6920 is as plain as it gets. I swapped the barrel with a 6921 barrel + pinned A2X. Swapped the handguards for a KAC RAS. Otherwise, I still rock the carry handle (I do have an Aimpoint PRO though).
Brownell's sells retro clones at a decent price. They've got one coming out based on Eugene Stoner's very first prototype.

AR pistol can have barrels under 16 (14.5 pinned) with no additional paperwork. Can’t have a stock. In the case where a .300 BLK doesn’t benefit past say 10”, you can optimize your setup

I hate the pistol craze but the KAK Blade/Shockwave/whatever makes a pretty decent stock.

I've been waiting on them to start shipping their new BRN-180 so I can see what the reviews are on it.

I have no real desire to push out a lot of rounds quickly... as fun as it can be, I personally get more satisfaction out of precision shots from longer distances.
Then just get a bolt gun

That thing was the best option before the SBA3 or PDW type braces came out. Now it's a distant third at best.

Cool. This is what I have been thinking. Can always shoot friend's ARs to scratch the itch of rapid firing a bunch of rounds.
