Thread 64081575

Is it better to drop a shit ton of money on an expensive ass ar-15 like daniels defense or buy a cheap ar like PSA and use the remaining $2000 just pimp the shit out of it, with a geissle trigger, silent buffer tube, etc.?

>>64081575 (OP)
latter

when shtf a 11.5 inch psa will kill the $6000 rifle larper just as well

>>64081575 (OP)
buy PSA, get a nice barrel and bolt and swap them. You have now gotten 90% of the way there compared to a DD

>>64081782
Kek. I knew before coming in to this thread that you’d be here.

>>64081575 (OP)
you should get the cheap gun and spend the remaining money on ammunition, and then shoot it all

Im a firm believer in getting whatever BCM upper and then a milspec cheap af lower and upgrading from there

Made a shitty graphic too

Never buy an ssa-e outside of sales

>>64081575 (OP)
That depends. Are you capable of doing good research and careful assembly? Or are you going to make dumb part decisions and fuck shit up because you're a butterfingered klutz who can't into tool use?

If the former, build your own. And it will cost far less than 2k unless you're including optics in that figure.

>velocity dependent rounds
>11" barrel
If it's for 300blk then sure but a minimum of 18" is the difference between having your 5.56 boolets explode on impact from a good couple of miles to basically punching small holes in your target from a few feet away.
Eat more pasture raised protein and veggies if lugging a few more inches is that tiring.

PSA is king
Or piece it together yourself and 3dp the lower

>>64082619
An 11.5" will still frag out to about 45yds with m193. Use good ammo instead and they will perform better and out to a further distance than your musket will with whatever cheap ball ammo you're coping over

>poorfag pretending he can buy good ammo
lmao

>>64081575 (OP)
>silent buffer
worse than useless
>Geissele
get LaRue instead

Most of it comes down to budget. An optic and light are more important than a rollmark. But better guns are still better.

>>64082619
i can guarantee you you won't notice if the attacker had a ballistically optimal setup when you have a hole in your brain

>>64081575 (OP)
get a cheap lower like PSA (or build one) get a mid tier upper (or build one) and then get a nice optic and light. also silent buffers are stupid.

>>64081575 (OP)
Buy whatever brand of cheap lower you want, get a nice upper and go from there

>>64082851
Elaborate on why you dislike the silent buffer. Is because youre poor?

>>64083135
Yes, I'm very poor. Here's my shitrod with budget optics.

>>64083141
>A2 grip
Confirmed poor

>>64083183
well yeah, I told you I'm poor.

>A2 grip
The gun comes with an ergo brand grip like all LMTs do. It's trash, like all non-A2 grips, so I threw it away and put on the A2.

>>64083200
Well you made a better decisions than me, besides the A2 grip

only retards from /arg/ think brand names make your gun shoot better.

>>64083221
>besides the A2 grip
Some day you'll see the light. Everyone will. Stop fighting the A2 grip. It is trying to help you.
>>64083229
Brand names don't make your gun shoot better, but better made parts cost more.

>>64081782
FUCK OFF, 14.5 or 16 inch is what you need. 20 inch if you want M16.

>>64083231
>better made parts
/arg/ can't explain what makes their brand name parts better other than vague weasel shit like "muh qc" and "muh reliability." meanwhile they dismiss actual quality parts used by people who shoot more rounds in a month than they do in a year as "gamer shit."

>>64083290
trauma dumping about how /arg/ molested your holes and you're still seething about it is weird. I don't care.

/arg/ is brand shilling, ignore them

>>64083315
>/arg/ is everyone who points out some parts are made better than others

>>64083322
>gets called out like how jew clips his coins

>>64083330
What has been called out?

>>64083332
shilling BCM and shitty roll marks

>>64083334
But I haven't shilled BCM or rollmarks. You're just reliving trauma that has nothing to do with me.

>>64083343
>>64083343
>You're just reliving trauma that has nothing to do with me.
False statement, you're bad at lying. Look at me in the eye when you say that.

>>64083354
I'm looking you in the eyes right now anon. I have never shilled BCM or rollmarks in my life.

You should in fact pair a KAC upper with the cheapest lower you have.

>>64083355
Very good, you passed my test. The truth shall set you free.

>>64081575 (OP)
Buy the best quality rifle that you are comfortable with at the best price possible. Use the remaining money to get things that make it better or are actually useful to you, not just to "pimp it out."
Function over form.
