    BCM is also Teflon coating over their anodizing last time I checked, which I dislike. I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to "standardize" on a high gloss Teflon finish. I prefer just matte hardcoat anodizing.

    Yes, I'm picky.
    So you're under 21 but there isn't much you haven't tried, magpul trigger gaurds are dumb, you would rather have a GI charging handle than a Gunfighter, teflon coating bothers you, and you are trying to buy an M16A4 clone.

    Different strokes...

    Because I've used one at work for so long. I'd like a newer platform with a piston system

    FYI- You can't order a STRIPPED lower. A lower with a tube and stock already assembled is different.

    How do you feel that YOU will benefit from a piston?

    I could go on and on but all of these companies have something in common. A lack of quality control, use of sub standard materials, and a failure to meet, much less exceed, a minimum set of requirements set fourth.
    Les baer? Why did you lump Baer in with all of these companies? I'm not criticizing, but rather wondering. I have a 1911 from them and it's been nothing but perfect.

    His 1911's may be one story but his rifles are horrible and the customer service sucks.

    I assume you're talking about an issued-weapon? FN doesn't sell complete ARs to civilians, and the individual components they rebrand for other companies are very limited, as well.

    This is a thread about ARs, not 1911s.

    That, and the MagPul trigger guard is dumb, and I'd have to swap out their charging handle for the normal one. (Minor complaint, but it is still a complaint.)
    Uhm, we have BCM rifles in stock (at least 10 right now).
