My brother saw Deliverance and bought a Bow. I saw Deliverance and bought an AR-15.
Larry A. Vickers, sometimes called The LAV. Former Delta operator and very highly regarded trainer. He's also a great 1911 gunsmith and teaches a class specifically on building and running 1911's. There are a lot of good instructors mentioned on this site. in-depth knowledge of the AR platform is also a hallmark of this forum. Knowledge that goes far beyond ordinary and fawning fanboyism.
From the sound of it, your learning curve here will be nearly vertical for a while. Read all the stickies you can and use the search feature for info on parts, systems and acronyms. Stuff like the aforementioned c158 bolt refers to a HPT and MPT (High Pressure Tested and Magnetic Particle Tested) Carpenter 158 grade bolt, which is much less likely to fail at a critical point.
Welcome aboard and good luck!![]()

I'll be going to his 8 Dec lo-light pistol class. Carbine classes are offered, as well.

Eastern NC, as a whole, is a frickin' Las Vegas of training opportunities....
BCM, DD, Colt, if you spend $1200 gun, you have a $1200 gun.
BM or WW, if you buy a $1200 gun, you have a $700 gun. Not the end of the world, by any means; if you want to make them run as well as they possibley can, we have a stickied thread just for that: https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=7376
Thus endeth the thread-drift. Let's bring it back to the breakage...

One slight additional detour if I may:
That was the link I forgot to put in my post on the last page when I mentioned NCPatrolAR, the link JSantoro just posted above.
Defensive Concepts North Carolina is NCPatrolAR's company.
That would be a good place for you to start. Only an hour from Greenville.

I'd say that BM/WW makes a few good AR's. They probably have the same rate of good ones leaving the factory as BCM, Colt, DD, Noveske, letting an "oops" out the door (which will get resolved before your brain can process what just happened on the phone call you made to them).
I'd rather gamble on "might get a problem child" rather than "might be a good one".
