[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2370830, member: 8377"] certainly a good portion of Colt sales may be based on name recognition, however the same could be said about my favorite whipping boy, Bushmaster. Now, take the name and roll mark off that gun and compare the specs with a "nameless" colt and the differences are obvious. This is why, for whatever reason you get an AR, knowing what makes an attribute good or bad for a particular use is important. This is why I have no reservations about some AR's put out by companies not normally associated with spec guns like PSA. On some models they offer HP/MPI bolts of Carpenter 158 steel, hammer forged CMV FN made barrels, mil spec size receiver extensions, F marked front sight bases, and bolt carriers that are staked as well as any I have seen from the high end manufacturers. These parts are also available in other companies offerings. The plus side to those select PSA offerings is you dont pay the price you would for a Colt, or BCM et. My point as usual is what makes the gun good to go for an application or not are the materials, manufacturing and testing. The name brand is only as good as the history behind the name, which can change on a dime if they drop the ball. [/QUOTE]
