I have been wondering this or a while.

ARs are typically very close in price, often what separates a Colt 6920 from a Bushmaster is only a couple hundred dollars.

LIkewise with other camparison to other guns...say BCM and Armalite, or Model 1 and Stag if you want something closer in term of price/performance.

My firs AR, a Bushmaster 20"HBAR cost me $819. A BCM 20" would cost right around $930 or so, plus shipping and $10 transfer. The quality difference is apparent with the BCM and the Bushmaster.

My question is this-

If an AR buyer KNOWS that all the QC and good quality is there with a Colt/BCM/LMT etc etc, why would they pay to purchase something slightly cheaper?


(And yes, I own a BCM Midlength AND A STAG Model2 that I built myself for the experience.)

Most people probably make their purchases without the knowledge we acquire here. We learn of the QC after we make our purchases.
I own a couple BM rifles, BCM rifles, DSA rifles, and a Colt. They all do the same things well, but for the money I'll mostly buy from the left side of the chart. I still love my other rifles also- after tweaking them.
