Hello - I've often thought about building my own AR. As many of you are very well aware, there seems to be a plethora of parts and assemblies one can choose from, either through gun show dealers and/or catalogues. I've seen many U-yube videos of AR failures, either feeding or some explosion of some kind. I see a lot of magazines being blown out.
My question is this: Does overly customizing a personal build lead to a dangerous situation? I would assume all part from various manufacturers have built to specs and are mostly interchangeable, but I've often wondered if personal build ARs are "untested" as compared to those manufactured by known gun makers...having been thoroughly tested before releasing to the general market.
Any thoughts on if whether or not a personal custom build is a more risky approach....and why? What I should watch do or not do when building my own AR? Thank you.
