My next build is going to be a DPMS/JP hybrid....Gonna prob catch flak for this but I am a little OCD. I'm alright with a hybrid AR as most stock ARs are hybrid anyway. But, when my OCD kicks in, I don't want more than two or three different manufacturers components. After doing alot of research (and I mean alot), I've kinda got everything in my head that I want in and on the gun. There are what I consider critical components such as the barrel, trigger, bolt and carrier, buffer and spring, and gas system. All of these components will be JP. Still on the fence about using the adjustable JP gas system or a standard rifle length DPMS gas system. OCD again, adjustable means I will always be messing with it...lol... also haven't completely decided between low mass or full mass bolt carrier. The barrel will be 20". I know 18 is more popular now, but I like the longer sight radius. Now for the not as critical components. The upper and lower receivers will be DPMS (can't really see paying the difference for the JP receivers). It will have a DPMS vented free float tube (again can't see triple the price for the JP/VTAC tube). All the small parts will be DPMS including the the removeable BUIS. And of course the ACE skeletonized buttstock and Hogue grip. Almost forgot Miculek steel charging handle and compensator from DPMS. With the best prices I can find on all the components, I can build this setup for around 1500 give or take 150 depending on how I go with the gas system. Opinions please and good shooting.
Oh, for those wondering about my avatar, I am am a S&W guy and do currently shoot a M&P 15. Thought about adding all my wants to this rifle. But, OCD again can't stand spare parts just laying around. More cost effective to just build a new rifle....
