The term doesn’t insinuate that you forged the metal or machines the receiver, but in some cases when building a rifle there is some machine work required. But not every case.

i feel illumination is a must have. this particular optic (mk6 m5c2) is no longer in production and pretty unobtanium, the places I could find it stocked have the illuminated versions listed for around four grand. if you can find it with illumination and a good reticle for an agreeable price, i'd pull the trigger.

if an SPR is not a DMR then why is the designated marksman issued a MK12 SPR in a Marine line platoon......RECCE rifles are also SPR's/DMR's, it is the modern name for the weapon of the designated marksman who also gives quick reconnaissance / accurate over watch capabilities to the marine infantry squad???
I'm always curious about why people would still use a 16-18 inch barrel even on a SPR build. Wouldn't you want to get a 22' or even 24' inch barrel with a solid twist so you can milk all the velocity you can out of your 75-77gr 556 match ammo?.
Not needed. I have shit out to 1k yards with a 14.5 rifle. Barrel length is not going to make or break any mark rifle. It’s also not practical to use a barrel that long in places where a SPR rifle would be used. These are urban setting deployment rifles but are capable of distances of

@@joegasparro2395 I would say you’re building these when you buy separate parts. Assembling would be buying a complete upper and lower and putting them together.

You're building unless it's a complete upper and lower and then you're assembling. I don't understand why people play this semantic game when it comes to firearms. When you're building an engine or anything else you don't hear people saying "I assembled an engine". This argument has quickly become a pet peeves.
Building and assembling are virtual the same thing. Only a slightly different use here. But who the hell cares, assemble and shoot the hell out of it or bulld one and shoot the pics out of it.
they are not the same but can both be applied in specific situations. example if we are talking construction you are building and assembling at the same time. but in a case such as this the word build has as much as use as saying your L shape sofa you bought had to be build instead of assembled ones it was inside your home . it has to do with the individuals verbal knowledge and the usage of these words.
Build, assemble, install all are fairly interchangeable words unless you really want to get semantic about the exact meaning. Now if you were to say you bought parts to manufacture a rifle then I would question your choice of words. Don't worry about the people who try to fault you using the word build, they are confused and I'm pretty sure they've never taken or been educated in the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning even though there is subtle shades of meaning.

Dude. Im not being rude, but you should just stick to making holsters. Saying that people are only using the modlite because of social media is delusional. There are a few great choices when it comes to weapon mounted lights. Saying the cloud is the best is a matter of opinion and is subjective. Opinions are subjective from a users point of view. Some people have their own opinions through their experience and others just listen to the people they believe that have the experience, but there is only one truth. P.S. Im pretty sure you are a FAN boy of cloud.
It’s like you didn’t listen at all, you just wanted to say something super bad, you’re as bad you claim he is. He said multiple times he thinks it’s a better value for the money, and even corrected himself when commenting on quality of mod light, and sorry to burst your bubble, even quality accessories these days are often popular because of social media, 90% of people who buy these things are not door kickers.
The gun community attacks & criticizes itself more than anybody else. Everybody has a biased opinion on everything, perhaps offer yours without attacking someone else's.
