AR-15 build verses buy

[mountainman]

If you have to buy a Grendel bolt, make sure it's a Type II bolt, and not just a 7.62x39 bolt.  The Grendel Type II bolt is 10 thousanths deeper than the 7.62x39 bolt so it chambers the round and the bolt fingers lock up with the barrel.

My son looked into buy verses build and it looks cheaper to buy one out right then to build?  Crazy...  I guess when you buy in bulk you can put together those rifles pretty cheap. 

Kinda went sideways discussion wise, as they sometimes do when opinion between us gun loonies opens up. Hopefully, you question was somewhat answered? Cheaper to buy complete for a basic gun, cheaper to build if you want to go with a certain look, spec etc. and I will check on the Daniels Defence for your son.

It's Defense BTW.

   When you ask us gun loonies for an opinion, you often get more than you bargained for.  And there's absolutely nothing wrong with a .223.

If Big Game hunting is a concern, a 6.8 SPC or a 6.5 Grendel upper might be a better choice, as .223's are not legal to use on Deer and other Game Animals in Washington State.  OK for varmints and plinking, but not Game animals...
