[bkeach]

For $650

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=132082527

What do you think? I will not go any higher but it seems like a good price.

Thanks for the input

doesn't say if it's chrome lined, what the twist rate is, and I assume it's 16.5"

 

[jjoker16]

NICE...and yeah, what he said

 

[bkeach]

I posed the questions... I should have asked before I bid. :/

 

[jjoker16]

yeah...what if its not what you want and you win?

the twist (1:9 -OR- 1:7) most dont care, but I would Def. want chrome lined.

Just my 2cents.

 

[bkeach]

Maybe I was seduced a little bit.

 

[bkeach]

Sweet. Just confirmed... It is chrome lined, 1 in 9 twist

Not bad but the complete rifles are dropping everyday. A few are under $800.00 already. BUT good luck!

Yeah, I would have bought a BCM upper for $500, a BCM BCG for $150, and the UTG quad rail is pretty cheap. You probably would have been much better off that way. JMHO.

The BCG will sell out FAST!

Or http://www.bayoushooter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19528 but BCM is much better.

The BCM Setup you suggested all together with Carrier group and UTG would be 720+

I am getting DPMS Upper with BCG and UTG for 650.

I am happy with the route I took.

And as far as this go, I do agree but EVERYONE was 6 months back ordered at least it seemed. I was willing to pay a bit more for the convienience

Yes, but you'd be getting much, much, much, much more for $70.

BCM equals Colt in quality. There's a reason why Colt 6920s are $1300 and DPMS rifles are $800, and it isn't just the dancing pony. Not saying DPMS is poor, they make good stuff, but it's like a Ford to a Rolls-Royce in quality difference.

"much, much, much, much" LOL

"Ford to a Rolls-Royce in quality difference"

That is funny cause you have a pic of what appears to be a ford as your avatar.

Yes, it is mine, and I love it, but I wouldn't be so foolish as to compare it to a Rolls-Royce. This is appropriate considering the theme of this thread. You think that BECAUSE it is mine, I would favorably compare it to a luxury car - that's why it is 'funny' to you. Your response makes sense, since you are obviously trying to rationalize away your guilt from a purchase you made hastily, and only BECAUSE you now 'own it.' Happens all the time on gun forums - The "It is the best because it is the one I bought" mentality (you) versus, "It is the one I bought because it is the best" perspective.

When did this become a competition? Or are you trying to make it so?

Keach, you posted this thread asking if you were getting a good deal. You were seeking opinions, am I right? (Of course, AFTER you place a bid?) So I have the AUDACITY to tell you that you could have done better than a DPMS upper with an airsoft-grade quad-rail, for about the same amount of money, and you turn on me as if I have attacked you. If you don't want opinions, don't pretend as if you do. That $70 difference will wash after you break your bolt at the cam hole and buy a new one. Maybe when you buy this new bolt you'll post for an opinion before you bid...

Im not turning on you buddy. I appreciate your insight. i just thought that was funny. I simple observation that was all. I am happy with my purchase and have stored the info you have provided for future builds. I just thought the irony of the example you used was comical.

Gotcha. It appeared to me that your post was intended as an insult, and then I read scooterj's post, which reinforced my perception and added a little fuel to the fire. Sorry, I can get a little huffy at times.

 

[bkeach]

No worries.

It was just a joke. No harm meant.
