Tier 1- the big boys
Tier 2- the unknowns Tier 3- Vulcan/Hesse/Blackthorne/or what ever new name they come up with. General rule of thumb- avoid the third option. IBTMGD |

A first; I'm going to quote myself! A subcontractor who produces parts for said named gov't contract may be of high enough quality that they decide to build whole rifles/carbines themselves and their quality reputation is transferred. Tier one is must be. LMT is one company I can think of off the top. |

There is a direct correlation between tierness and the number of adjectives used in the name of said-weapon. Bonus points for celebrity tie-ins.
E.G.: "Extreme, Tactical, Spec-Ops, Joe Bob Smith Limited Edition Death Dealer Precision CQB Carbine." |

Red Jacket builds Tier 1 AR's for the boys down range in the sandbox.
FYI: Tier rating is based on the number of non-factory upgrades/accessories you are running on the rifle. However, if you upgrade/accessorize too much, it will lower the Tier rating. Also, the Tier rating is directly proportional to the amount of money spent on said rifle. If you buy a brand new ACOG and pay retail, it will increase the rating. If you buy a used ACOG for a heavily discounted price, then the Tier rating will not be affected unless it can be proven that an actual Tier 1 operator ran on his rifle. |
