Any Interest in Pre Built or "Custom" GBBR's?
« on: December 20, 2012, 10:14:47 PM »
Ok so I have been thinking about this idea for a while and want to know if there is any interest in this.
I have been thinking about building GBBR's (WA platform) and selling them.

The pro's to this is, you don't have to spend the time to build your own GBBR, and also don't have to pay $400+ for a gbbr from asia (not including shipping). The WA GBBR system has many criticisms that say "you have to dump $1000's into it to get it working properly" and "Very unreliable and outdated". I built mine for less than what  the LM4 costs. (Not including external upgrades) I only upgraded the necessary parts and mine is running fine with no problems.

So the question is, who would be interested in a pre built gbbr, or your own "Custom" Gbbr.
I would use the G&P kits off of Evike, and upgrade them of course. Each would come with a magazine.
And for building your own, you just tell me what kit/upgrades you would like, and I build it for you.

I am thinking the price of a pre built would be around Low-Mid $300's for a reliable gbbr based on the WA system. (No I would not make it entirely steel internals, Just the vitals for functionality and whatever else I see fit)

And If I am building one for you, I am only paid to put it together. Everything else (Shipping, Parts, Etc.) is paid for by the customer. (You tell me what you want, I'll build it)

Still need to work on some things on this idea, but I wanted a general idea of interest in this concept.

I have built my own gbbr from the kits and upgraded nearly every part to it. I know the system inside and out.

So please, comment what you think and any ideas you may have. And for questions, either comment or just PM me. If some people are interested, I will continue to work out how I would run this, and eventually make an official ad.

Neat idea, something I might be open to considering. Do you have any other credentials other than "I built mine and it works fine"?

Maybe if you had video of your rifle working and you explaining the internals and showing us all that, it would go a long way. Interesting idea and I like your entrepreneurial spirit.

I can do videos. Ill try to make one sometime this weekend. Its currently a thought but I believe I can get something like this going. Ill post links to the videos on here once I get some done. And what I was thinking is if someone bought one, I would make a video right before I ship it out, and show that it functions. Of course I would include the time/date in the video so it doesn't look like some pre made video.

I'd definitely be interested, if I had the money xD

Solid plan, but a guy dropping $300+ would want to see something besides your post. ;)

I've been looking into building a training gun for my new AR, so this would be great! It all matters on the costs though
My gear collection costs more than my car...

I may be interested but I've heard bad things about the King Arms M4 even after upgrades. If you could get back to me on this with some info or helpful links I may be interested in having you upgrade the gun if I were to purchase it instead of the LM4.
