Top 5 of the ones I currently own by numbers in my collection, or top 5 by quality in my own personal experience (since I won't conjecture about the quality of those I haven't owned/shot)?

As predicted, there is no huge difference in quality between most manufacturers. Of course there is (and will be shortly demostrated) more than enough kool-aid to go around, for most brands.
I was happy with my Bushmaster but sold it as it wasn't a "real" flat-top; the rail was raised. I am happy with my S&W. There isn't any major brand that I would reject out of hand for quality issues. There may be some 'minor' brands that I would avoid out of ignorance of their quality (or lack thereof), but that's it. |

Quoted: You decide. Okay. Dismissing the self-builds (which I refuse to attribute to a manufacturer just because I used their lower), which are the majority of my ARs, and counting only complete factory rifles bought that way, the ones I currently own the most of are: 1. Bushmaster 2. Colt 3. DPMS 4. Olympic (don't snicker, 2 of them are GL-1s that have been flawless for me) 5. The rest tied at 1 each If I looked back at all of the factory-complete ARs I had owned over the years it wouldn't change much, except I've had several Armalites in the past. As to quality, I've never had to send a factory AR back for warranty repairs yet (just lucky, I guess). The only factory AR that ever gave me trouble was a DPMS, and even it worked its own problem out after a few hundred rounds. YMMV. |

Vulcan - Used by Special Olympic Forces
Olympic - same Olympics as above but not officially issued Mattel - My Grand Father was issued an M16 when he fought at the Alamo and it said Mattel on it. We lost because it jammed so much. Century - Same quality as their fine Cetme rifles. Colt - They make parts for Century |
