Ok to start I am not new to AR's but I have never built one myself before. I have owned several but have sold them off at various times for different reasons so I currently don't have one myself. I know the configuration I want but haven't found any factory offering that wouldn't require some changes to get to what I want. Is there any reason to not just build it myself the way I want? Or should I just custom order it from one of the various makers?
By my count the advantages of building are:
Exactly what I want
Ability to pick up a few parts at a time as funds allow
Greater knowledge of the weapon system
Downsides are:
Lower resale value
Possibility of mechanical issues with little/no factory support
