    BM never made good guns, the issue is back when it was the ABC's(armalite, bushmaster, colt) they were one of the only makers in town. Today we have places like BCM that make far better guns that actually follow the TDP.

    IMHO, this leaves BM and WW out of this definition.

    I really hate to ask, but I don't know what tdp stands for? Is it a standard way of building them or something?

    On a side note, I had a FA fail like that in a Doublestar.

    I would say not. When talking with Pat Rogers, LAV, or other top instructors that see thousands of rifles a year that shoot tens of thousands of rounds, they will say that BM, RRA, Oly, and Armalite(and I'm sure Windham will be added) have a higher rate of issues than Colt, BCM, Noveske, DD, LaRue, or KAC. This isn't new news.
