There is absolutely NOTHING similar in the levels of upgrading one does on average to a cheap gun vs. Gucci gun. The entire reason to spend money on a Gucci gun is that all the fancy parts are already selected, installed, and verified to work well together.Can’t say I agree with that thought process. But also, “changing things out” doesn’t always mean more reliability, either in a higher or lower end AR.
Instead of learning the proper way to assemble/improve an AR and through that, become extremely familiar with the platform, folks take the lazy way out by throwing money at Gucci makers. I have no problem with the makers: they created a business base on the knowledge they've accumulated. At the same time, I don't see why an average individual cannot learn to build an AR.
And no, Gucci guns are not upgradable to the same degree as cheap guns. One factor mentioned in this thread is "mismatched parts". You pay a fortune for a Daniel Defense pew-pew and if you upgrade components to some other brand, the value of that gun would most likely drop. Why would someone make their Gucci gun into a Cheap gun? It doesn't make sense!
