I am seeing many preowned ARs for sale, some with very low price tags. I know enough about which ones are good and which parts are worth a premium but I am not familiar with which names to avoid.
So I ask, which brands are nothing but trouble? Which ones do not run, are totally built using inferior parts, and are not worth their low price tags?
Let me state now that I am not trying to start an arf.com type of debate. I do not need to hear from the fanboys that state "if it isn't a Colt" or "if it doesn't cost $3k" then it is junk.
I am mainly curious which ARs you would avoid that run about $700 or so with some mags and ammo. Or are there any that aren't worth that? I do know many builders get their parts from the same venders and have their name stamped on them.
I do remember TXARGUYS problem with a New Frontier lower and will avoid them. I am mainly curious about aluminum/ metal lowers.
Please keep it civil ladies and gentleman.
