"Once again, you do not know what you are talking about."
Once again you demonstrate your knowledge on the subject, and just because you say so, it doesnt make you any more knowledgeable than me on this, but I actually verified my info.
Once again, read the chart you so religiously praise written by a guy whos only qualification is making a few phone calls to salesmen at some rifle manufacturers, then he puts the chart together. Also if you read the chart is says right there, unverified, possible, so how does that information count? Im sure some manufacturers salesmen and customer service people will tell you their rifles have hand made leather sadlles to make you happy.
Rob_s, his only qualification to knowledge on the subject of these weapons is that hes a guy who likes to shoot.
"Right. Tell that to the Magpul guys, Iraq_gunz, Rob_s, Iraq Ninja, etc. A good number of the guys post on there from Afghanistan and Iraq. Hell one guy on there is an armorer for a PMC. He has seen more AR/M16s through there of every make possible than most of us can dream about. Ask him what he thinks of Bushmaster. He can show you photos of the problems he has had with them."
So how is anyone who has access to only one brand of rifle (colt M-16 M-4) going to give you an accurate opinion, or demonstrate the reliability of other AR type rifles? Hmmmmm????
You know, if you actually take apart several colt models (not just an M-4) you will find that aside from that one model in that chart, they all contain alot less features than what people give them credit for.
Ive looked at multiple colt models all containing the same spring insert, the same staking, and many with less features than other manufacturers bashed here by brand snobs.
Like I said, the bashing here and on other sites has to do with "brand snobs", gun dealers trying to sell rifles that they pay the same low price for but sell at higher profit margins, and the fact that most are disappointed at the MSRP of the ACR.
