I really hate to drag this up, because I know the question has been discussed in different posts many different times, but always with some slant.
My question is this: Is the Colt AR-15 Better/More Reliable for that 1% of users, or the military, than any other brand? I dont care if there is no appreciable difference for the use they are likely to get at the range, home defense, etc... I am asking, if you are going to be given an AR-15 and told that it has to last you the next 5 years and you are going to war, to be used hard, would it be better to have a Colt than anything else?
I bought my Bushmaster because I thought that the Colt was not any better, (notice I didnt say different). In a thread I read on THR yesterday some comments by some people who would know caused me to question this. Now my Bushmaster is perfectly adequate for what I do with it now, but for the hardest user in the world, is it as good as a Colt?
Also, is there something better than Colt, such as LMT? If so, why?
