I can't answer your question as a FACT. But personally I would  stay with BushMaster , RRA, Colt, DMPS, Olypic arms. For all I know one or two manufactoy's may make  the parts for all of them. But I try to stick with a reputable  company to deal with. Am sure there are several more that are good sources. WarDawg

I would not lump OLY and DPMS in with the others for quite a few things.

I would add CMT to the top of that heap.  Especially since CMT produces many of the parts that other vendors sell under their own name.

You will find that most Olympic Arms owners are quite happy with there rifles. Ive have yet to come accross anyone on this forum who OWNS an olympic rifle that says they regret the purchase.Well maybe one. They had a problem a  few years back on a few rifles but the problem was fixed. The fact is these AR are tough and made to go through 1000's upon 1000's of rounds.

Olympic makes all there parts while almost every other company contracts out . In fact Olympic makes some parts for bushmaster and other makers of AR's.

Being an olympic owner would I buy another oly if I could do it over again? Yes i would. In fact im on my second one.
