Civilian here too. :)
I also don't do any missions but I get the idea of having a 'mission' or rather a 'purpose' behind a build, otherwise you wind up with a heavy varmint barrel on an AR with a 1x red dot and a PDW stock on the thing...Nothing says mall ninja like a bunch of mismatched crap thrown together.
I am still 100% with you on the money. Rainier or not money doesn't grow on trees. I wish I had the cash to spend on all my whims. At the same time I like nice stuff.
At the end of the day I think we all enjoy nice stuff but on a more basic level we like shooting even more. I imagine if we had musket day as a group we would go out and have a ball. Then after that we would be looking at Uwone and Stickman's awesome collection of muskets and their piles of lead balls 3 foot deep.
I am of the school that one should be prudent with whatever funds they have at their disposal. If I bought everything on here that I see in pics that I like I would have spent about $2m bucks so far...
Yes we want to make it about gear but not so much that it overrides the shooting part. Shopping at Rainier doesn't mean people have no budget that should adhere to.

I'm just voicing my opinion just as you have. We all have different priorities and taste. Even if I had endless funds I would still recommend either stamps or ammo over Cerakote.

Learn to shoot it and get certified (the Cerakote). Nothing wrong with letting other people pay for your habit!

Never considered getting into the cerakote game... now that it's been brought up I think I'd actually consider doing it if I had the space (I live in a 2 bedroom apartment).
I am planning on getting a house next year so... maybe then?
Fledge, would you be so kind as to shoot some photos of your Bootleg upper with the various lowers you mentioned? Both sides if you please?-One Nation, Under God

Oh man those are all gorgeous. Especially the AXTS. Is that one phosphate? The color looks close on all of them.

Debating abandoning the Bootleg upper until I can get the matching PWS lower, or perhaps even entirely.
Especially after seeing this.

Ignoring how fugly it is in general, it doesn't even mate well with the BCM forend, which is another part I've already got for it. Doesn't go with the forend, or any lower I have or can get... causing more frustration than anything.-One Nation, Under God

Maybe I'm missing something, what's the allure of the bootleg?

And..... because of Fledge, I think I need a V7 Build.
