[QUOTE="Shootin 4 Fun, post: 2423517, member: 6465"] I'm not knocking high end ARs, but the simple truth is that many of the components in less expensive rifles are the same thing that high end companies are paying the mfg to stencil their logo on. Is a BCM cold hammer forged barrel made by FN any better than a PSA cold hammer forged barrel made by FN, or a DelTon cold hammer forged barrel made by FN? Is one bolt carrier group that is constructed of 9130 steel with chrome lining and a MPI tested Carpenter 158 bolt any better than another brand with the same specs? Mil-spec triggers are mil-spec, there are some manufacturers out there that produce great triggers, but that is a personal thing that each shooter will determine which is best for them. There are only 3 components that truly reflect the quality of a build, barrel, trigger and bolt carrier group. I have a rifle that most people could only dream of building, I don't like it any better than one that I put together from trade in parts. Both guns are equally reliable, one would cost in excess of $3000 to build, the other around $400. [/QUOTE]
