The modularity and choice of building options is what makes black rifle
disease interesting.  I've never gone low end with regards to buying parts. 
I know some folks part together guns with the cheapest parts, then wait until
buying panics occur and cash in oon inflated values and high demand.

I build mine for personal enjoyment.  It's sort of like parting together
gaming desktops  when I was younger.  I would set a bar for price versus
value, and wasn't into keeping up with the Joneses regarding paying a bundle
for the latest greatest parts.
