I understand that my information may be outdated and that Manufacturers change suppliers, however based on the concept that high end manufactures use the same suppliers and mid level suppliers here is my question. What does a high end manufacturer do to their items (lowers for example) that mid level manufacturers do not? What makes them more desirable, other than rolling their name on it? What does BCM do that Stag doesn't? I am not trying to debate that BCM (for example) is just a Stag (for example) re-stamped. I am trying to get a better understanding of what sets any two manufacturers that use the same supplier apart. Can anyone help me be better informed?
