JT,
I agree with the guys.
More a discussion on philosophy but instead of building three guns you could just build one; choose a calibre and put all the money and love into one gun. Or at most two; one of each. Then you have the luxury of not having to count pennies or fix factory issues which are typical of cheaper parts. If you feel the need to glue an upper to a barrel for example, you might have to admit you have a dud to start with.
In a fixed budget, rather than buy an expensive upper and an average barrel I would put all my money into the barrel and whatever is left can buy the cheapest upper and be prepared to square and glue it. Bottom line, the barrel IS the gun.
