Which AR-15 to buy

[dom1104]

Agreed 100% slow1911, JP has definatly shown me a light carrier has its bonuses, and you right about lock time.


I mostly posted the chart to point out that all ar15 s are not created equal.

Going through the latest issue of Gun Buyer mag. There are so many different AR-15 clones out there. Some I've never ever heard of. Which ones have good reps and which ones are just junk? Which manufacturers are exceptional and which ones are average?

Alexander Arms
American Spirit Arms
Armalite
BCM
Bushmaster
Charles Daly
Colt
CMMG
Daniel Defense
Del-Ton
DPMS
DAX
Knight's Armament
Les Baer
LMT
Next Generation Arms
Noveske
Para USA
RRA
Ruger SR-556
Sabre Defense
S&W
Spike's Tactical
STAG
Wilson Combat

The red ones are what I consider the better out of the bunch, the blue ones are ok or lacking in some areas.

Next Generation arms is good, but comes with a lot of A.R.M.S stuff. Not a fan.

Pretty good list but I thought Charles Daly went out of business.

I also don't think Stag is of the same quality as the others you have in red.

i'd put Colt up with DD and Noveske.....they are THE standard after all. for half a century.

does RR do what the other top tier manufacturers do, such MPIs and HPTs on every rifle?

i might also add Sabre Defense and FN to the list.

Yeah I suppose my father rolled over in his grave when I posted this... he was a Marine

I suppose I need more experience with "The Colt AR"... if any one wants to blast my Noveske in trade for letting me massage the trigger of their Colt a little bit let me know

LaRue needs in here too if no one has mentioned them yet
