I'm now a fan of AX762 Lower Receiver | AXTS Weapons Systems - it looks really nice!
read the specs on the whole rifle
probably not, most think they are all the same
Can I get a translator for this ???
Honestly there are a lot of differences between a $500 AR and a $1000 AR. Most people won't take the time to learn those differences.
So the DPMS Oracle I got yesterday At the gun show for $550 wont fire a round...If you agree stand in front of one... If the bullet hits what you aimed at IT'S JUST AS GOOD AS THE NEXT ONE. Gun snobs, sheez...
A single shot .22 isn't something to stand in front of, so I fail to get the wit within that remark. There is a difference between satisfactory long-term performance and excellence.
Honestly some people do educate themselves on the differences and know what to look for and decide that the $700 DPMS, (which is what we were talking about not the $500 unknown Bear) suits their needs over the $1000 Colt.
and that DPMS is what I was referring too.................

What makes the colt so much better other than a 1/7 barrel?
Well I'm confused, the original post was about a $500 dollar Bear Aresenal AR, followed by the $700 dollar DPMS quote to which you then stated, "Honestly there are a lot of differences between a $500 AR and a $1000 AR. Most people won't take the time to learn those differences." So you can see my confusion, the $500 price point was always in referrence to the Bear and the $700 to the DPMS. Maybe it's just a typo on your part or maybe a little back peddling but either way your statement would lead one to believe you were talking about the Bear.
No one said they were the same but they do function the same and produce the same results. If you want to be a gun snob please be one but to deride a person's choice with out giving facts is my point. So far you have managed to avoid stating what exactly the difference are between a $700 dollar AR and a $1000 dollar AR.
The differences that counts may be in the barrel,the bolt and the workmanship but other than that not much else. There are only 4 major casting company's that make uppers and lowers that are re-branded, the same forge that makes Stag Arms also make Colt along with S&W and some Wilson Combats and others so the quality is same for all. Buffer springs?, at this price point they all are stainless not chromium so no difference there. Buffer, pick you weight not much difference there either. Fire control group at this price point they are standard milspec along with the upper parts group, not any difference there. A gas tube is a gas tube, not much difference. Now the bolt carrier group can be quite a bit different but at a $1000 or less it's going to be milspec and if the gas key is staked properly and the bolt hardened to spec not a problem there . That leaves the barrel and again at the $700 to $1000 price point I don't believe there is going to be that much of a difference between the two. So it really boils down to the quailty of the workmanship and if you what your looking for it's not a problem. So in reality your paying $300 more to have Colt on the side and that's fine but don't be a gun snob and deride some one else's choice, at least not with out actually giving a reason why one is better than the other except for the name on it.
