I think I am finally beginning to understand. If you can't afford a Mercedes why even buy a car. I will forget the folks I know who have owned and shot Bushmasters for years and are sold on them. They just enjoy the sport and are not "Internet Gun Gurus" so what do they know? Like that is even close to the same thing being discussed here. 
You can get a quality AR from PSA for $600 or less any day of the week. Nobody is claiming OP needs to spend $1,000+. Stop being dramatic. 
ETA: You seem to have this weird complex with trying to rationalize paying 80% of the cost of a quality rifle for a substandard one. It just doesn't make any damn sense. If you can save up $500-$600 for an AR, you can save for another month or two and get something with a lot better build quality, QC, attention to detail, etc. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
IIRC, Pat Rogers has reported issues with Bushmasters breaking their bolts at the cam pin hole. (more common than normal). And the improper staking of the carrier key screws is a well known issue. Other than those problems I believe that Bushmasters are better than many of the other offerings over the years. They are DEFINITELY better than Olympic Arms! I can't believe how much they were charging for stripped lowers several years back, Bushmaster was at the Tulsa Gun Show around 15 years ago and was getting around $150.00 DEALER for stripped lowers! Doesn't Pat Rogers also say that if you want a quality weapon you can trust you're life with; that a economy grade weapon or a build doesn't cut it? |

People here LOVE to forget that. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think I am finally beginning to understand. DPMS, Busmaster and other lowly tier guns are mass produced by unskilled flunkies in bad conditions, while the high tier guns are assembled carefully by old world craftsman one piece at a time in modern well lighted conditions. Each part is hand perfected and sprinkled with generous amounts of "mil-spec". Ahh, Ok. Yep, I think I've got it. No, no you don't understand. I doubt you are capable of understanding since you haven't shown any so far. |

I have come to understand that disagreeing with the mainstream is totally unacceptable here as it gets very personal. I won't make any more comments as mine tend to be snotty. Enjoy your AR. I sure do mine. Finis.
