The principle danger is the slow accumulation of perfectly serviceable parts that do not fit the narrative of the build at hand. A related danger is having buy assemblies to get parts.
Eventually, these parts start to resemble complete rifles.
We are near such a moment.
The M4 profile barrel for Kaylee is inbound, I will have the old barrel as surplus. I accumulated an M16 upper receiver while getting period correct parts for my XM177E2 build. I have spare handguards, I have spare flash-hiders. All I need to complete an upper is a bolt carrier group and a charging handle. That would be about $145 plus $11.95 shipping and handling.
The lower is even more complete. I had to buy a couple stock assemblies to get all the period parts I needed for the XM and I bought a spare lower parts kit just to have one since the springs and pins get lost during assembly all the time. All I need for a complete lower is the actual lower receiver. $140.
This project would be a mutt, a true Frankenstein AR Carbine. We'll call her Brunhilda if we finish her, or perhaps just "The Bride".
