fowler and NWcityguy2,
What makes this forum amazing is you get the straight scoop from some of the most informed industry experts. There are people from KAC, BCM, MagPul, as well as top trainers and been there done that experts who really know the facts and who's opinion can't be bought, and people who's lives rely on the best functioning weapon they can get. I suspect the reason they are here and not on other sites is because of the low signal to noise ration and serious discussions. This group of knowledgeable people has led to a forum with a distinct set of beliefs on what constitutes a fighting AR-15 versus a clod buster. Opinions that differ from that won't get any love without facts that can back them up. What kind of facts? Not single user samples of a few hundred or a few thousand rounds but tests like Pat Rogers of EAG Tactical pushing filthy 14 to 40,000 rounds with no cleaning https://www.m4carbine.net/archive/in...p/t-95136.html , trainers who see thens of thousands of rounds fired every week by students and see what fails and what doesn't, industry experts that explain why certain materials are used, how they are tested, and why others aren't used. Read a couple hundred post, see who the experts are, and you'll get it. If you don't want to spend the time, don't expect people to listen to you whine.
Personally I read much and post little because I know the experts here know far more than I do. The topic of this thread has been answered countless times, and if you haven't used the search button, you will not get a full rehash of the answer but will get the one liners from people who have already answered it too many times.
My answer, you can never go wrong with Colt, and if you want more options, BCM is the go to source. There are other good options too, but that's what the search button is for.
