High end AR’s, diminishing returns, and reliability.

I have assembled a few different ARs. Just make sure to stick with reputable companies. BCM is awesome.

Search this thread for the Chart and you’ll be good

What about the companies that are off the top of the chart?

They’ll need to be put back on so we know them

If you’re referring to Jay-Pee I think it’s cause they’re below the “destitute” tier. If the po-leese or the military don’t use them, then they ain’t no good.

I have been shooting a lot for a long while now, and have never bought an AR-15. I have built them all, and all have been awesome. Not sure why anyone would buy one at this point other than as a time-saver, such as a fully tuned gun like a JP.

If I could go back in time, (and knowing what I know now), I would have just bought KAC and been done with it since day 1.

I feel the same way, except with Colt

sold all my hobby guns and parts and simply have a couple of 6920’s now

They are good as is bit a lighter trigger very doable, just drop in a geiselle

A match grade upper is a simple as pulling two pens and popping on a Larue (or JP or whatever)

For me, it was kind of a discussion killer. There might be more boutique-y stuff out there for sure, but the Colts get it done year in and year out

I’ve got a few KAC uppers but honestly I think there are fairly equivalent options for half the price. It’s absolutely a diminishing returns thing. Honestly if anything I’m considering selling off my KACs and just going G for my ‘really nice’ ARs. I tend to prefer them. Being cheaper is just a bonus.

I'm interested in those uppers if you still have them.
