I got four phone calls today and one walk in. What did they want? Cheap firearms. I don't sell cheap firearms.
If I had to depend on my local economy, I would have been bankrupt in the first 6 months of opening. Thank GOD for the internet.
While I have not buckled and started stocking Hi-Points, I can fully understand why some dealers would and do. They are in business to make a living and feed their families. Everything else doesn't matter.

What is the consensus on an LAR Ops 4 upper? Just curious if this falls into the realms of the DPMS, BM, OA etc.....?
My buy list: Colt, BCM, LMT, Noveske, Daniel Defense
My NOT buy list: Bushmaster, Olympic, Rock River, Spikes, DPMS, Les Baer, LWRC, etc. If it is not on my buy list then its on this list.
My opinion.

Friends brother has one, while he loves guns and has quite a few he dosn't know the terms/do much work on them. He's had it for a few months and the last time he was out something failed(he couldnt name the part and I wasnt there but I assume the buffer) causing the bolt to recoil to far bending the ish out of the side charger bolt handle which threads into the BCG.
Grant is incorrect. There are no public shooting ranges or facilities in any National Park. It is illegal to discharge a firearm in a National Park. There are certain National Park units(National Recreation Areas, National Preserves) that allow limited hunting, but target shooting is not allowed.

Winning hearts and minds in lovely TexMexistan
How can I forget them when they are right next to me on the firing line?
I won't ever be 'going to war,' and my #1 SD weapon is my .45 ACP (Why? Because I'm most comfortable, confident, and accurate with it,) but when I buy something, even just 'for hobby use,' I want something of known high quality. I bought a YHM lite rail for my LE6920, based on a friend's recommendation and his experiences with their gear. I had absolutely no problems with it, rails were all in spec, etc.
HOWEVER, I then bought a used BCM upper with a DD RIS II on it. That is where I saw the chasm between 'no problems to speak of' and 'professional quality.' Is the RIS II worth 3x the price of the YHM? IMO, if you are going to be wrapping your hands around this thing for years, yes. The mounting design is superior in how secure it is, how much less likely turning the unit loose with VFG torque is, the diameter, the fit and finish, and just overall how it feels in your hands. The YHM is in a box of spare parts, a Centurion C4 is what is mounted on the 6920 now.
So, in the end, it's not necessarily that some brands have to be complete junk (and I know others have had worse experiences on a broader scale with YHM than my small sample size, no argument there) to not be 'upper tier,' but at the very very least, the devil is in the details. It's what separates 'ok' from 'great.' Personally, I won't be able to go back from DD, Colt, Centurion, etc. rifles and parts. Especially when the cost differences are often negligible.
