Handgun - Glock or S&W
LongGun - Armalite
Shotgun - Remington
Special - Something special...
Technically, ours aren't Armalite by name, just by design. Both of them are custom-made items. Since most (if not all) rifles in that genre are classified as an AR, it's easier to just describe ours as Armalite.So which Armalite do you have?
So many folks have been misled by propaganda that AR stands for "Assault Rife" which is incorrect. AR is an abbreviation for "Armalite Rifle."
I can't answer thise questions, as I'm not fanatical about guns. I enjoy shooting occasionally, and am comfortable around/usimg them, but I don't study them religiously.Very true. I was wondering what brand folks preferred.
I was also wondering if custom made is as cracked up as it is.
Is it better to have someone build it?
Is it better to get the parts and do it yourself?
Very interested.

For me, who makes it is not important (meaning custom build or I do it myself). If the piece is quality and dependable, that is what I would prioritize. I mean, it's a tool. If it feels good in your hand (comfortable/easy to use), always works, hits what you're aiming at and kills it when it hits, then it has done its job.
I dunno... sometimes I think people overthink guns. But then, if I hadn't been a serious bowler at one time, I'd likely think the same about bowling balls. If it's round, fits my hand, and knocks the pins down...
You can go basic purchase and build on a platform. Mine was built for a left handed shooter. https://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=88 I can shoot L or R, but prefer L on rifle and shotgun. Prefer R with a pistol. I ended up with a RRA AR, but that was an impulse purchase. The ENTIRE rifle is built for a left handed shooter. The barrel twist is LH as well! So, I guess you could call it somewhat "custom." The trigger is very light and has Magpul flip up sight on front and match grade A2 handle with windage adjustment... Quality stuff, but not really necessary. A basic AR-15 (.223) is just fine. If you are interested in a darn good AR- I think S&W M&P series has a great reputation with quality at a fair price. Custom builds are for competition shooters, so stick with a factory built weapon. If you want something that is slightly above average go with the M&P 15 TS. You won't need to add anything besides a bipod.Very true. I was wondering what brand folks preferred.

Depends, I've seen it fire off like a fully auto.....MUST ONLY BE A SINGLE SHOT THOUGH.
