Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Who makes the worst AR?

The answer is: cheap retail ARs MUST have cheap barrels, uppers, lowers, bolts, and other critical parts, to be so cheap. Their assembly/QC costs also have to be low. I don’t think it’s limited to some make, but a category. There’s a difference between value and cheap. Too often folks want to believe that company ‘X’ has ‘figured out a way’ to make a quality AR for far less than company Y…..or that company Y jacks up their prices due to brand recognition. Sometimes, but not nearly as much as most think. Usually, makers cut corners on quality, and quality costs more $.
