Which brand should I take?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Which brand should I take?

Posted: 6/24/2001 12:31:22 PM EDT

First hello everybody.

Hmm my first weapon will be a AR15 or Desert Eagle 357mag.

But I would like to know which brand I should take if I'm going to buy an AR15. At the shooting range they told me I should buy Olympic Arms. The AR15 has to be black, so no bushmaster.

Some opinions please.

If you want the most reliable, toughest, closest-to-Mil=Spec AR, get a Bushmaster. Or don't, and wish you had.

I've heard alot of bad things about Olympic Arms,....Bushmaster, Colt, or Armalite are generally considered to be the best. I've also heard some good things about Rock River Arms, but never really saw one.

And Bushmaster's finnish is Manganese Phosphate, as per military spec.
Definitely go with Bushmaster, you wont be sorry

You will get all kinds of answers to your question. I say get nothing but ArmaLite. Others will say whatever their favorite brand is. It all depends on who you ask and who you listen to. I think you will find that most people do not recommend a postban Colt. My understanding is that their quality has gone down. I could be wrong.
