[QUOTE="Daryl Licht, post: 2427090, member: 3330"] As pointed out several times in this thread, some buy cheaper stuff because that's all they can afford. My first two AR's were done on the cheap. Of the two, after around 2k rounds each, one hasn't had any problems at all, the other has crapped a couple of small parts (a bolt catch and a extractor spring) which were easy enough to replace. It functions fine now. Neither would be my first choice for home defense, but I have other firearms for that. If they were all I had though, I wouldn't be afraid to grab either one. Just how many rounds will you get off in a HD situation, if you have to fire any at all? Just how much greater are the odds that a $500 rifle that has been well cleaned, lubed and maintained is going to puke at that exact moment? Life is better now than it was when I got the first two, and I can pretty much get whatever I want, so I do. [/QUOTE]
