Klem Wrote:$5 or $140-$210 is a big difference. Surely there's a reason to spend over 20-times more. Something more compelling than the sound it makes.
Klem, for me it is the sum of the parts I put into my rifles.. I micro slic my BCG, upper receiver channel, install an American Gold trigger and the JP SCS. The action smoothness is night and day difference, "compared to mil spec" in my opinion. People are skeptical, until they charge their rifle next to mine. I can also eliminate the buffer retaining pin and spring.. Is it worth spending 20-times more??? It all depends on what we want from our rifle, nothing more..I spend extra for Colt detents instead of cheaper versions. That said, "I use some of the cheapest receivers on the market" as long as they spec out for my need.. Light weight, accuracy, hunting, self defence, better split times in multi gun, bragging rights, etc will determine our needs.. Is the JP SCS, SLR titanium adj gas block, Lilja barrel, LMT BCG, Schmidt Bender scope, necessary compared to Palmetto State Armory parts and a Weaver scope??? That depends on the need, budget, "or better yet" want.. Only the individual can make those choices..
