New to the forum and I have been reading a lot of topics before posting and I have my first question. I see a lot of reference to third tier AR manufactures and 3rd tier quality guns etc... but there is no reference to which is what. I did read a bit about what is mil-spec and what is not and what some manufactures claim etc ...
So my question is ... is there an actual list of what manufactures are considered by most to be the 1st tier, 2nd tier 3rd tier or is this more of a personal point of view? Are there any that pretty much everyone seems to agree is in one place or the other?
I have a Colt 6520 and a Sig 516 and I love them both. I'm wondering where the quality seems to fall with those for example. Is the Sig barrel mil-spec with proper 5.56 chamber and barrel composition? Sure shoots nice although it is piston so it is in some ways not comparing apples to apples, but the barrel should be the same. But I don't see much mention of where that fits in the "tiers".
