[QUOTE="Daryl Licht, post: 1096156, member: 3330"] I have a couple of mongrel AR's, the first was a Model 1 rifle kit on a Olympic receiver ($543 without mags), the second is a DelTon upper on a DPMS lower (about $650 without mags). Both of these guns are used for range blasting and each has around 1500-2000 rounds thru it. The malfunctions between the two can be counted on one hand and have either been magazine or lubrication related. They have eaten Q3131A, Radway Green, a lot of Silver Bear 62gr HP, some Lake City XM-193 and a little S&B M855. A decent AR-15 can be had without spending a ton of money. Not everyone can afford a Colt or Noveske or LMT, that doesn't mean they should go without one just because it's not on "The Chart". As for them being "just as good as a Colt", I don't think they are. There is a feel to my 6940 that is head and shoulders above either of these guns but it's nearly impossible to describe. Sorry for the hijack, Carry On. [/QUOTE]
