You shouldn't discount your ARs track record because of its manufacturer or on the idea that your standard/needs are lower than many other posters here. If your AR runs then it runs.
I like the idea of a list of things to consider when buying an AR. Threads dominated with one liner posts like "Colt, BCM and DD or go home" is for fanboys. Understand what makes a rifle desirable for your specific needs is far better.
