    Exactly, same here. This is why we carry BCM, Colt, LMT, DD, S&W and KAC!

For example, when I was new to ARs the LGS guy told me that (and I quote) "There is absolutely no difference between a DPMS and a Colt other than the Colt has better resale and might have a few parts that are not interchangeable. With brands like Colt, you really are paying for the name."

    I take issue with that. Now for my purposes (at the time) all I wanted was a cool looking gun to blast at the range and show my friends and the DPMS was just fine for that. But that doesn't make the information any more true. If the guy had said "You know, for what you intend to do, the DPMS will probably be fine. Spend the extra money on ammo." I would have been cool with that. But after a little research I learned the truth.

    Shame on me for not knowing any better. And shame on him for handing me a line of shit, even if he didn't know any better either. It's one thing to not argue with a customer who knows it all and already has his mind made up. It's something else when you spread misinformation, either through lies or ignorance.
    Totally agree and my experiences in my own industry and in shooting have convinced me that the vast majority of times it is through ignorance. Someone says "DPMS & Colt are the same you just pay for the name" most often because they don't know and so they spout that BS because they are too lazy to do the research. Shame on them and as always caveat emptor.

    I'm just saying. Your fishing pole analogy does not necessarily work in this instance.
    Your link led to a very good post and a good read maybe the fishing pole is not 100% right but it is close ,some people believe that just because it cost more it must be superior, i am just saying that is not always the truth, that the consumer who buys a cheaper product may not care if he is getting everything offered by xyz the superior brand I deal with fishermen everyday and alot of them are money driven they think because they have a G loomis that their gear is better well it ain't so... but hey i am new here and I am not wanting to cause a ruckus so i stated my 2 cents and i thank you for yours...
