ARs as a whole are often called modern sporting rifles as a category of guns.
If they're talking about a specific model and had a typo I can't say but MSR is a fairly common way to refer to modern magazine fed scary black guns.

Worth it. But then there are others that will serve just as well.

I appreciate companies like that and the detail they put into their products. I just don't want someone to think they need that level of precision fit/finish to achieve performance or reliability from an AR platform, because they don't.

If anyone wants to really experience "mil-spec"...they should shoot a service rifle (if they can). I used to joke that I could pass my resume between the upper and lower of my US Army select fire AR. The thing wobbled, and creaked, parts weren't liquid tight...and it ran like a top.

That’s more a testament to a durable design.

The military tends to hang onto to weapons far past their service life.

Correct, I meant the MPR. Mine shoots 0.75" groups if I do my part and I didnt spring for the geuselle I just opened the box. 18" rifle gas, standard parts, magpul furniture. Best AR-15 on the market for the dollar IMO. I bet the 16" is good too.

I think that Daniel Defense is a quality manufacturer and that owning one of their rifles is a positive thing.

It’s just one of a number of different gun companies that make AR’s that fall into that category. Daniel Defense, BCM, Sionics, SOLGW, Knights, LMT, JP, LWRC, Noveske, Colt, La Rue and Les Baer. Some I’d choose for one kind of gun, some for another.

All are quality though.

Well said.

My only experience is with the Daniel Defense lightweight profile barrels, and a bolt carrier group group. High quality and accurate without all the weight.

I'm real happy with mine, too. Bought it when they first came out. It's been trouble free.

I have a barrel and a couple sets of iron sights from DD. They’re all real nice. However, their prices for full rifles always drove me a away. Same with Wilson Combat and LaRue. I buy stuff from them all, but they’re real proud of their stuff. As long as whatever you buy is mil spec, you can upgrade as you go. That’s a great way to learn the rifle in and out anyway.
