This thread has raised several questions pertaining to a no frills, basic well built or higher quality AR.
If a person wanted a good one how to find what is really good?
Ask on internet forums ?
Pay a really high price?
Read books on the subject ?
Writers like Zediker, Reaser, Kuleck & others? I've got one of Kulecks books & while it educated me to a point, much of it is out dated. Followed Zidikers writings on a higher budget personal build, but that was some time ago, & maybe dated as well.
I've read this thread in it's entirety & portions more than once, & if there is a consensus, I didn't catch it. Are there recent & thorough test, studies that separate the bad from the good to the very good?
So many makers, vendors. How to keep up?
