To help answer your question: many people like myself want to buy their first AR as a complete package. I too went with POF and the good thing about a POF I that you don't need to use their customer service! I have 2 x 6.8spc 16" AR's from them and not one problem. One I am building into a DM (designated marksman) and the other is an all purpose machine. The great thing about a reputable and great quality package like a POF is that I am hitting sub-MOA @ 500yds with only a 4x acog!!! Talk about a winning package!
However, people often build their own AR's when they are very familiar with the platform or have own a few in the past. Most AR builders want the most performance out of their machines but at a lower budget price. Hence, they buy the parts like legos and put together their own master piece. Each builder will have his own reasons and stories...
