what make is your AR?

[rdsii64]

The manufacturers name on the lower receiver really doesn't mean much or matter much except maybe for resale value. What does matter is who made the barrel which might be one company or several. . For many rifles there is no marking as to who bored and rifled the barrel or who contoured and and chambered it .
It's very common for neither of those to be the company you buy the rifle from.

This is very true, but as long as it shoots strait, I ain't ask'n.

Quality components matter and there are lots of manufacturers who (usually) make good components. The thing that separates good AR's from poor ones is whether the compay which assembles them goes to the additional step of thoroughly testing the rifle for both function and accuracy and works out any defects. SOME well known companies don't even test fire the ARs they sell. Top quality companies make some bad rifles too but they don't let them get shipped to customers.

Again I must concede that you are correct. a prime example is the difference between Rock River Arms and White Oak Armory. They both use wilson match barrels and with the exception of the RRA trigger, they use the same lower parts kit. The difference is that WOA doesn't volume assemble rifles. I'm not knocking RRA. Mine is an honest Half minute shooter with good ammo. Heck it will even sling the cheap walmart stuff right at the MOA mark. Its just that WOA takes more time and attention with each build and is less likely to let a lemon out the door. In Rock River Arms defense they do guarantee their rifles to shoot 3/4 moa and I have never met a shooter who hated his RRA rifle.

Stag Arms Model 6, works for me. But PA does not allow SA Rifles for hunting .

I got a M4 built by my best friend when he came back from Iraq after the surge. He was a 45bravo and he built the rifle using parts from various manufacturers. Granted the rifle has a lot of sentimental value but I have yet see a more expensive AR15 outperform it. Sometimes its not the parts but the person building it that really sets a rifle apart.

My AR upper is a specialized dynamics from arizona. It is a 6x45 and put the coyotes down!! Scott is the owner of SD and he can may you one in anything from 17 cal. to 260 Rem or a 308 and alot inbetween. His prices are very reasonable and usually has a very short wait time. If you like check out his website. www.specializeddynamics.com
