    I just don't see the point in educating people who want to argue why they think their Bushy, Stag, DPMS, is better than or equal to Colt. If they don't want to hear what I have to say, then let them buy a shitty AR and learn the hard way. Leave the quality ones for me.

    All you guys saying "stick to Colt!" are probably completely correct. As it is i did actually buy a Stag because that is what my gunshop had and everything else was $300 more. Not the greatest reason to be sure. But I've put 1500 rounds through it and it works great. With my target master .22 lr Conversion kit i have put another thousand rounds with zero malfunctions.


    It is not the very best AR you can get, I'm sure, and i would not ever argue that it is. I guess you could call that brand a "hobby" AR, except most of the parts are made on the same exact machines that produce the parts for the military. No it doesn't have a shot peened bolt but the rest of the gun is mil spec or mostly so. The parts are made by National Machine Co. who have been making mil-spec parts for the military for decades.

    Lastly, two words caught my eye when i was deciding which M4gery to buy: LIFETIME WARRANTY. If your rifle does not have that too, then why not? Does the manufacturer not have faith in his own product?

    I am told that "lifetime warranty" is not just a selling point - they do honor it.

    Colt has made the AR / M16 / M4 platform and its variations that have been in all forms of combat for over 50 years, proven reliability at that
    I think Colt has plenty of "faith" in their product.

    Parts may be supplied by companies that source higher end brands, but they may not be made to the same specifications. They are made to order, one company may want Carpenters 158 steel or 8620, or 9310, etc. They may not shot peen, or conduct a High Pressure Test, or Magnetic Particle Inspection. Receivers may be made out of 7075 T6 or 6065 T6 aluminum, barrels may also be made with different methods and materials, etc.

    Making parts on the same machines by the same craftsmen, but skipping steps and using different materials do not equal the same product.
