Favorite AR15 Brand and Why?!

[LPMan59]

Armalite. They designed the darn thing*.



*Yes, I know the current Armalite has only passing connection to the original Armalite, but the current Armalite is STILL the most innovative M/AR-15 manufacturer in terms of advancing the design. And the Armalite NM is a SWEET shooter.

if by passing you mean in name only.

How about KAC? Didn't Eugene Stoner work for them later in life?

If I only had a nickel every time you post a picture of your ddm4....

I've been thinking the same thing. I've seen that thing more than I've seen my own guns. But it sure is good to look at.

rock river because it comes at a decent price for a quality rifle. my favorite would hav to be YHM you just cant beat the quality and craftmanship

 

[Bonez87]

Welcome. As is mine:

Very nice rifle you have there sir!!!

 

[midget]

JP... You won't find a better rifle...

Right now, my first and only AR is my favorite. A Rock River Arms, with all kinds of fancy neat stuff on it.

I'm currently saving up to get a BCM BCG, and a Magpul stock.

I know it's not the "best" AR, but for me, it is. Because it's more than enough, because it meets all my needs. And it makes me happy

I'll eventually build a Top Tier AR later on though.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Good idea on the BCM BCG though . . . that's really the heart of the rifle and BCM makes top notch BCGs.

I have owned two RRA's. I use for paper punching and for predator hunting. Neither one has ever given me a problem. Lights out accuracy!

I find this actually curious because I have a bone stock Colt 20 inch HBAR Target Sporter, a Spikes Tactical A2 Carbine that has a Colt Upper Receiver and a Remington 16 1/2 barrel, An Essencial Arms Pre-Ban 20 inch HBAR with an unmarked upper receiver and a another one whose name escapes me at the moment with a FN A2 upper with a 20 inch HBAR barrel and guess what?......None of them ever jams or misfires and not one is more or less accurate than the other. Personally, I believe that if the parts are manufactured to military standards, the only real difference in brands is the finish and maybe the engraving. Just because some of them look nicer doesn't necessarily mean they shoot better....my 2 cents.....

Stag, because they make a fully left handed AR15!

DPMS

Lots of variations and reasonable pricing. Good support.

I also like Rock River and Bushmaster.

What is PSA?

palmetto state armory, in my opinion very high quality

 

[SSGSAD]

COLT, Because I own one, and used one for 26 YEARS .....

 

[glock212327]

DPMS has been great. I also love stag but those take down pins are a little too tight for my taste.

If you ever shot a Knights Armament, you would understand.

I've shot a suppressed SR25, they are awesome!

 

[mcolford]

Got to give love to DPMS.. As I own one, and have shot a couple others and liked them too!

I like them all, haven't had a bad time shooting any brand AR yet. I only keep one around though for myself, Colt/Spikes mix. Love it.
