AR's Have You Reached Saturation?
So how many is too many?
I think I've reached saturation awhile ago. I've actually started to break down uppers, for parts on other projects, something I never used to do. I guess I'm at the point where I don't want to continuously pay for parts and accessories that I already have a dozen of.
How many AR's are you comfortable owning?

I am 'comfortable' owning a bunch but realistically I could see myself owning 3 or 4 at least. And then if you talk about the different calibers and such that is another ball of wax (IE 300 blackout) or maybe some of the other 'potentials' out there.
I have yet to join the NFA club but when we get into that it adds more.
Honestly though I can't answer the question because I am only on AR15 #1.

I never reach saturation for 2 reasons. First is I can't afford it. Second is I usually sell the rifles I don't shoot much.

I always seem to have a project or three in the works. I think it depends how quickly I want to complete the project. If I really get the itch I'll borrow parts from other rifles.
I'm up to 6 completed rifles/SBR's right now and I may or may not SBR another lower that's just sitting in the safe. I don't like the idea of having a bunch of uppers and just one lower. Lowers are cheap...

Trying to finish AR #1. I could see owning several if money was not an issue. 6 or 7?
The one i'm building now, Pistol, SBR, SBR-300blackout, SPR , AR-10, Super lightweight version? Several for my older children.
I will be very happy when I finish the first. It's been a fun journey. :-)Facebook - Marty Callan

Ahhhh, the first "build" back when this hobby was cheap... relatively speaking.
I remember what really got me into overdrive.
Back in 2008 I had a trip planned with a gal to the Bahamas. I prepaid for everything. She then stiffed me, and I had to cancel the trip. I was able to get most of my money back. Used that cash to buy 2 complete Noveske's as my consolation prize.

Sorry about that. Noveske's sound like very nice consolation prizes. I first heard of them through a Clint Smith article. It was 2008 when I first got interested firearms. Obama was elected and I was afraid I would never get any if I didn't start soon. My father-in-law was a gunsmith and he gave me a wonderful Colt 1911.

Getting back to the saturation question... I have visions of some having 20-30.

We have 4 right now. Building 2 SBRs and one .308 and I think we will be done. I want to build a nice bolt rifle as well soon.

When I finish this one, (.277 Wolverine), I'll have 8. That's after having sold a couple a while back. Number 8 is it, my very last project. Then I'm done. No more. Nada. Absolutely last build.
