Based on the butt stock and the fact that I will have to rebuild it for my own safety since it was built by Texian

Can you explain this part in more detail? Guess I have missed some threads - I thought Eyeguy's builds were well respected here?

Can't speak to CTGilley's experience, but I was extremely disappointed to find out they do not (at least at time of my last/only purchase from him) test fire their builds before shipping, which resulted in me receiving a rifle that would not cycle at all, along with a hammer that had been polished (not requested) in a poor manner that left the trigger feeling horrible. He did fix the issues after I sent it back, but beyond the additional hassle and time wasted in shipping, fixing, and returning, I would have been a heck of a lot more hesitant and checking for issues had I known in advanced that it had never been test fired.

As for the butt stock, I see no issue with Luth-AR. So what if it's not Magpul. I've got that same butt stock on one of my rifles I built and it functions great.

Hate to hear the bad experiences. I personally have had plenty of issues with Texian but never a functionality thing with guns. Just his disorganization and slow timelines has been enough to where I stopped using him for anything. He was always good to me and made issues right but at the end of the day I don't want those hassles.

I am open to legit offers but $500 is not one. I had a thermal mounted on this previously and sold it and have never had any issues with this gun shooting.

I purchased an AR from Texian and had some fairly significant issues. Gun was never fired prior to me picking it up.Took Texian about 3 extra months to get things right. I am not a fan of throwing small biz owners under the bus but hopefully these posts help improve his service.

Bob,

I kind of just came to the realization that I shouldn't have asked that question on your advertisement so my sincere apologies. Glad to hear you confirm that you have no issues with this rifle, so hopefully it will not impact your sale at all.

No worries at all. It's clearly a prevalent issue and hate that multiple folks have had the same experiences.

It's an unfortunate reality with which I have a love / hate relationship... I hate to hear it for Justin because I believe he genuinely means well but it has made me quite a few new customers... That said, the components I've seen in the ones I've repaired are decent or better. Every issue I have corrected has been craftsmanship.

Since you are in BCS, I'm happy to offer you a free once over on the rifle if needed to ease any would be buyers minds. I can't take on liability for future issues but can at least make sure everything is currently torqued to spec, staked, etc

If needed, shoot me an email - outdoors@kelsoarms.com

Bob, you should take skelso up on his offer. I'm another former customer of Texian. I had the same unfortunate experience reported by others on this thread and have never written about it until now.

Had a custom 6.8 SPC built 5-8 years ago. Picked out components and a custom cerakote. Drove from BCS to pick up the rifle, brought it home and eventually took it to the range and it wouldn't cycle. Turns out the rifle had not been test fired. I was disappointed to say the least. Justin made it right but I had to ship the rifle back, wait for the issues to be addressed, ultimately met skelso through the deal, so that was a major plus on the whole deal. I hold no grudges and wish him the best but won't do a build with him again.

You might try Texas gun trader or Gunbroker to do a private sale.

FYI my dad has a Texian AR with your exact upper. You should check the fastener in the housing that holds the forward assist. That upper is a weird one where the housing is not a part of the upper but it's an add on module that slides onto a groove on the upper and then it is held in place w the fastener. If it's not torqued to spec and loc tite'd it will loosen over time and then one day your FA and dust cover will come loose. Apparently the company that made those uppers no longer offers them, my guess is because of that problem.

ETA - you must have replied while I was writing my post. Skelso will take care of you. He's the Texian's Anonymous gunsmithing therapist.
