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

Rost495 had to swage trigger pin holes in 7075 lower, the AMU actually having a tool to do this suggests it wasn’t the first one. I imagine 6061 would fail quicker. KNS pins weren’t created just to be cool.

I’ve seen a Bushmaster RE break at the threads(these are 6061). Never seen a true mil spec 7075 T6 RE break.

Noted; for some folks even a plastic lower would be fine, the M&P 22’s I’ve had took any abuse me and my daughter could give them without issue.

But better materials are better materials, the question was what makes a $1500 AR better than a $500 AR, not can I get by with a cheap AR.
