I was told by others that there was no reason to buy a "high dollar" AR like those since a DPMS will work just as good and that building to TDP is a marketing scam by those "custom AR companies" and if you are going to drop money like that you should just get a Sig piston rifle cause that apparently is the zenith of AR design.
Most guys I have run into on a majority of gun forums as well as in person who refuse to do actual reading and research on the AR15 buy into the whole an AR is an AR, is an AR, ect. I truthfully think it is for twofold reasons. One, they are lazy and don't like/know how to read. I really do believe that. I have tried to help educate people on why buying a Colt, BCM, DD, or other AR that is in spec is worth spending the extra $100-300 dollars. Once wrote a whole damn post, must have been 1500-2K words. Had about three or four responses within an hour to the effect, "I don't want to/won't read all that. Buy DPMS it is better than milspec. After all Army ARs break all the time." Linked an article of filthy 14, same shit. Most who do read don't read more than gun rags and honestly do believe that 3 round groups are a perfect clue of a rifle's accuracy, that 500 rounds is a massive torture test of reliability, and that whatever mechanical accuracy that a writer was able to get from a pistol in a ransom rest is what they can do with the same model pistol on demand under stress with bullets coming at them. Oh, and that pistol is a pistol they bought three months ago along with a box of the cheapest JHP the gun store had that they loaded up and shoved in a holster in the car in the parking lot, but the pistol was 100% in all the reviews! People are stupid!! 



Reason two. People are cheap ass mother****ers. Have seen this in everything. ARs, handguns, other rifles, cars, ect, ect. Hell I saw a guy buy a goddamn .338 Lapua, damn thing had to be 2-3K+ and then buy a BSA scope, a mother****ing BSA scope, to mount on it. Most when it comes to ARs don't want to spend more than they need to. I can't tell you the number of people I run into who tell me their DPMS, Bushmaster, Sig, Model 1, no name FrankenAR, or whatever odd ball never heard of before AR is so great and has been 102% reliable. Usually when I ask them how many rounds they have through them it is under 1k, often under 300. Remember one guy who wanted to state how much better and more reliable his parts gun that he spent only $500 on was over my BCM build that I had more in the optic than he did in his entire rifle with optic. "How many rounds do you have through it?" I asked, "18." Was his response.
. "Over the course of three range trips." 
. I'm sorry, I fired mine more than that zeroing my irons and ACOG, come back and lets compare notes in 4K rounds.
Sorry for the rant, but stupid and ignorant people who can't listen to facts, reason, and who refuse to educate themselves piss me off. I'm going to go hold my BCM now.
