People who have a lot of experience with certain things, usually from experience will suggest buying the superior product for a fair price.
AK guys will tell you to buy arsenals and such
AR guys Colt's and such
It is usually the inexperienced ones who suggest buying the lower quality products. For example, a lot of AK guys might tell you to buy PSA, and a lot of AR guys might suggest to buy a RAS47.. In my opinion, both options are junk. Experience is a hell of a thing, usually experience will grant an individual wisdom, but sadly not always.
I think there is some great wisdom on this site in regards to AR15's.
PSA? Meh, I have a PSA lower, it has had some problems with the bolt catch, but it works. It is for range time, not a serious gun at all. For the money, I should of just bought a Colt or built a rifle with better quality control, the specs on the lower sounded '' milspec '', but the quality just isn't there. I was being ignorant when I bought it, thinking I needed to build a special rifle how I wanted it, I should of just bought a better gun rather than skimping out and getting a PSA lower.
Right now someone could get a Colt lower, and a scionics upper for about 650-700$ total.. Or just buy a Colt. Premium AR's are at record low prices, and unless someone is actually living below the poverty line, I see no reason to be buying PSA stuff. Even if you are living in poverty, we are talking about a 100-200$ difference in price from going PSA to Colt, if you can't afford that 200$ then you can't afford to buy ammo either.
Just my opinion.
I've wasted too much money in my life buying non-tier1 products thinking that I was saving money, when in reality I was just wasting money.
