Who makes the best AR-15?

Answer 1

"Best" is mostly a matter of opinion, but.....

Not long ago the answer would've been "Stick to the ABC's" (Armalite, Bushmaster, and Colt).

These days, with over 40 manufacturers making AR15's, M-4's, or simply lower receivers, it's very hard to say who makes "the best" AR anymore.

The "ABC's" are still a save bet, but many companies are cranking out exceptionally high quality AR's.

(Mark) LaRue makes an incredibly well-built receiver that's CNC machined out of solid 7075 aluminum. The trouble is - you have to pay a large premium,.. IF you can find one.

There are still Diamonds around (machined out of billet stainless steel). They're very precise, very strong, very expensive, and very hard to find though.

Someone else is still making a SS AR, but I can't remember who it is right now (DPMS maybe,.. not sure. I'll post when I find out).

JP Precision makes a complete AR now (made only precision replacement and competition parts until recently). Everything they make is top of the line stuff!

There are other high-end AR's out there (like MagPull), and the numbers are growing every day.
