I dont know, but I was just about ready to open my mouth at sportmans.
The gun salesman was telling a couple of new customers that Colt AR 15 rifles are the best of the best and none other come close. He literally told the guys that Bushmaster and DPMS and the other brands offered no military spec rifles, and that all but Colt were made with 100-200 rounds a year as a max.
Now I have a DPMS and before I did any mods, I put 400-500 at a time through mine. All I did was took it apart, cleaned, lubed and double checked that the parts were properly staked before I took it out the first time. I think that might be the major mistake most people make.
Since I have had my rifle, I have upgraded it to an M16 NP3 bolt group and a black ejector spring, and since I am not shooting off the bench I left the stock trigger in it.
I have had no problems, and the original bolt group is in fine shape. I did upgrade to a heavier duty charging handle too now that I think of it.
I know a couple of guardsmen that tell me that they carry Bushmaster rifles when deployed. I imagine the brand doesn't matter so much as long as the thing is true Mil Spec.
