[QUOTE="SteelBanger, post: 2087726, member: 112192"] I think "build" and "assembled" is really just a game of semantics. Are you an underappreciated custom furniture builder? No because you've bought a kit of pre-designed parts and simply assembled it in your home. Did you "build" it? I think you could argue it either way but I would say no because someone else took the time to create and design every element for you, but you certainly assembled it ... but again, semantics. It also is not custom furniture because thousands of other people have the exact same kit that they built in their home. If BCM designed AR-15 kits and sold them at a discount due to you completing the assembly, are you the builder or the assembler? However you want to argue it it certainly isn't a custom gun. If you do the research and design your rifle with hand picked parts out of hundreds of manufacturers and thousands of parts are you a builder or assembler? Semantics ... either way it's still a custom gun in my mind. [/QUOTE]
