Oh, so what your saying is, it sucks when someone trolls your posts and dislikes your part selection....
For the record, yes I've handled the UTG Pro stuff, no thanks. Further, if "I" was going to invest in a tax stamp I wouldn't be using bargin basement parts, but that's just MY opinion.
So you think I should have spent even more money on a rail because I spent $200 on a stamp? I chose the rail I liked best on comparison with others. The UTG mounting hardware is better designed than most others. I hate the clamping mounts from experience so that ruled out a lot of mfg's. Basically it was between Noveske and UTG Pro so I decided to try something new. I don't get any connection that you are drawing between the stamp and the handguard? What does one have to do with the other?
He's trying to imply it's like buying a 911 and putting ricer fake riveted rims on it.
I think he places an artificial value on that tax stamp and undervalues the UTG Pro products. Ewwww its airsoft stuff. Honestly its better built than 80% of the competitor's products, better engineered, and has better CS.
No, I was simply stating that it seems a little hypocritical to crap on someone else's build when you yourself overpaid for a build consisting of low end parts.
If th OP is happy with his build, so be it... shoot the hell out of it and have fun.
What are you proposing that I overpaid for and which parts do you think are "low end"??????
Seems like all quality parts to me....Must of been that Uzi Mag

Lol, you made a (baseless)claim the op spent to much and crapped on his handguard selection.... I made a (baseless ) claim you spent to much and crapped on your handguard selection...
Get it?
The OP did ok for a grand for rifle, scope and mount, why come here and crap on him?
I don't think he's claiming he over paid more the 1k is a budget build for most .
If that's the case, then I apologize. I read it as him knocking the OP's build
Personally, I don't get the idea of a $500 AR build... for $650ish you can get a Ruger or S&W with good build quality and a actual warranty.
IMHO, a custom AR build is best suited when you know exactly what you want and either 1. Can't buy it that way or 2. Can save money building it

Found my post. This is how I did my 308 barrel without a reaction rod.

I have a $40 chunk of nylon made by DPMS (I think) that is an upper receiver block and it extends all the way to the top of the receiver. It works for both 9mm & 5.56 builds and holds the upper with no slippage. I would rather spend $40 than risk destroying a $100 upper. I tried Magpul's BEV block but it only works for 5.56 barrels with locking lugs and that didn't help with my non-standard builds.
To each their own. I personally would not use one of those on my uppers. I would prefer my ghetto fab pvc trim
Clam shell or
The ones that hook into the pins I wouldn't trust.
I tried it last Sunday at Harvard. I ran a variety of ammo from 55 grain to 77. The 55 grain felt sloppy since its a 1/7 twist. The 62 green tip was ok. 77 gr black hills match and Hornady superformance ran great. It felt tighter when cycling. I happened to find some 77 gold medal and will run some through it perhaps tomorrow.
