or you can go buy a colt for $1600-2000 just because it's a colt and it'll go bang every time.
Where do people get BS like this?
6920s are currently going for around 1100-1200 which is in line with other quality ARs.

To be more accurate:No they are not. In fact they are not even close. Please stop trying to mislead people.
ROFL!If an S&W isn't good enough to run around the desert or jungle with, it's not worth having.
Bubba nailed it..ROFL!
Yeah, most ARs are used that way so that's way important.
Back on planet Earth, probably 95% of ARs sold are kept in safes or cases, taken out to the range on weekends and shot about 200-500 rounds, taken home and cleaned, and put away until the next time. They'll pretty much all work well under those circumstances.
People tout the differences between one brand and another. It's bunk. There is no effective difference. An AR is a great rifle and a great tool. It's a lousy investment in part because it takes very little to churn one out.
I have sold a dozen DPMS rifles. I have never had one come back with problems. They are budget-priced guns that work just fine. Frankly I dont see any reason to spend more money on one.
Breakmyfootoff nailed it tooNo one here is really talking about sub standard rifles. There's way too much snobbery every time an AR thread comes up.
If you're not in the military, but you feel like every weapon you own must be a military spec war tool, does that make you a mall ninja?
Who said anything about being less reliable?Bubba nailed it? It's ok to buy a less reliable rifle for the same money as one with normal reliability because it's "only going to be used at the range"?
where are all these broken AR's so I can buy them. Out-of-spec parts and tight chambers? Or badly assembled? My 14yr old son can build one in his sleep. No, I'm not buying the argument that only your gun is any good, very sorryAnyone who says "you're not going to war/only going to use it at the range" etc. is saying less relibility
You don't have to pay extra for reliability or trade reliability for accuracy.
No rifle is reliable without maintenance. As ridiculous as your examples are, a rifle will survive them and function reliably with proper maintenance.
An AR will not properly function with tight chambers, parts that break, out of spec parts, or improper assembly. To say that these conditions are acceptable because "you're not going to war" is, to use your own words, dumb

To say that a manufacturer like DPMS uses parts that break and intentionally mis-assembles the gun is absurd.
ROFL!

So what are all the top tier rifles?
DD, Colt, LMT, BCM?

Mist, S&W's are pretty tough. My only complaint is that the hard chromed barrels are 1:9 twist 4140 steel. The bbl. is the only big corner cut. An H1 buffer would be nice, but they run fine with the supplied CAR buffer
