[QUOTE="SPDguns, post: 3271359, member: 17621"] With a Colt, there is an actual dollar value associated with the "pony" on the side. Collectors pay for more desirable roll-marks. SOCOM, Lightweight Governemt Carbine (LGC serial number prefix). SP-1's, Diemaco (not to be confused with the Colt's made in Canada) LEO serial prefix, A3 Tactical, and the list goes on. You nailed it on the head when you said it is a Ford-Chevy-Dodge argument. I have owned or played with or worked on just about every AR variant on the planet. Sig's are awesome (PM for pics and price if interested LOL). Daniel Defense, Larue, Black Rain, Northtech etc. are some of the high end ones. Unless you have a "forged" receiver, most of the uppers and lowers come from a few foundries across the nation- Alcoa, Cerro, etc. All the lower does is hold the fire control mechanism and magazine. That's why plastic and 3D printer guns go bang. The upper just holds the Barrel and BCG. If you want accuracy, spend the money on the barrel and BCG. I would determine your budget and go from there. It's a buyers market at least for now on AR's, too many people got burned in 2013 and 2014. Cheap AR's were SELLING for $2500+ back then and now a legit $2500 AR won't bring anything close to that. Figure out what you want, shop around and if you're happy, that's all that matters. And yes, Chevy's are better than Fords.... [/QUOTE]
