[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1886531, member: 113501"] This is not a direct comparison but I like some Aero Precision parts for my ARs but not all, so I piece together using parts from different manufacturers, winding up with better guns at lower cost than buying a complete Aero Precision M4E1 or M5E1. I have never found the parts I bought separately to be any less than first quality parts. In my custom bolt action rifles built up from parts by me, my only disappointment is a chassis made by MPA which has an integrated Arca rail that seems out of spec. Everything else was either first quality or 100% supported by the manufacturer until it was a first quality part (on preorder parts that needed some revisions). I have never felt like I got second rate parts unless I was specifically buying factory seconds and usually those parts were only cosmetic blems that function perfectly and don't even look blemished after they develop some normal wear. I'm not saying its impossible to wind up with QC reject parts but I've never seen it. To believe it is common is silly. Not everything is going to just fall together on your work bench every time but that's a different issue (and largely avoidable). [/QUOTE]
