In other words if someone had told me that Bushmaster was crap based on their name alone I wouldn't have believed them. But, having worked on them and seeing first hand the issues that they have I don't need to be beat over the head. The same goes with DPMS and Oly.
The same holds true for Noveske, LMT, or Colt. If they routinely had issues and were breaking down then we have this information to refute claims of "they are better" than. But, it's not the case.
The common denominator is of course that certain companies actually take the time to build a product correctly and others do not. The ones that don't can't even justify why they cut the corners that they do. Someone made a comment here that Bushmaster sells more AR's than any other manufacturer. That may be true. Now just imagine how many AR's they would sell if they staked the carriers and receiver extensions correctly, used M4 uppers with feedcuts, used the same barrel steel as Colt, BCM, LMT or Daniel Defense, extractor inserts, etc.... At that point people wouldn't have to look hard because the playing field would essentially be even. We also can see that the current price difference is only about 100.00-350.00 in most cases.
To me that means that company XYZ is more concerned about their profit and not about the product they produce. Now let's look at the parts. Why would any of those aforementioned companies be overly concerned about parts failure or the quality of their parts when they don't even care about the platform that they build? Not to mention all too often (we see it here all the time) someone is asking how to fix their new out of the box DPMSBUSHOLYMODEL1 Ninja gun rather than contacting the manufacturer and making them fix it. If everyone did that they would eventually have to change their ways or they would fall by the wayside.
DISCLAIMER- If you (general descriptive term) are butt hurt about what I have said too bad. It is what it is.
