I searched around and did not find any posts that seem to address this. Is there any benefit costwise in building an AR from parts vs. just buying a complete rifle?
I know if you build one there are benefits other than cost, but I am wondering if it might even be more expensive to build one. I know building your own Ruger 10/22 from parts can be much more expensive. And you also get a much nicer than factory rifle.
In full disclosure, I am not thinking of building an AR (right now anyway), but I am just curious. In my case, I love building things, sometimes even if they cost more.
