New AR Tier Chart

[BR8818]

What about my Noveske upper /w a KAC rail on a Del-ton lower? Gucci-poor?

 

[bwframe]

Meh, I have found that I really like the big names being on the individual important parts, as opposed to the whole gun.

 

[MrSmitty]

My poverty Pony lower, and my Bushmaster GI upper run just fine, maybe if the SHTF, and bad guys show up, maybe I can get their Gucci guns......

 

[Purdue1991]

Every deer I've shot with my poverty parts have not enjoyed it. Would I take it to war in Iraq or Afganistan? No. Would I enter it in a competition shooting event? No. But for hunting and home defense, I'm not worrying about it. So, go ahead and spend to your heart's content...

I have a whole bunch of Poverty Pony guns, Maybe I can trade them all for 1 LMT or HK.

Reminds me of an old "label whore" girlfriend.
If you didn't have the "right" label on your clothes, you heard about it.
The time I showed up wearing WalMart brand jeans and she threw a fit was the end of it.
It's ok.
I now live in a half million dollar home with 10 acres of property while she just lost her 4th husband and is living alone in an apartment with her "designer" clothes.
My "budget" ar's work just fine and I have the ability to chose among 10 different rifles if I want.

A bunch of those I’d never heard of before.

Everyone is making AR-15s now, including my mother on the westside of Indy. She is using the face of grandkids as CAGE codes.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

I’d still like to add a Colt 901, 6940, and a 6920 SOCOM to the safe. Wish I would have way back when on the 901!!!!!

The 901 was fantastic, thus Colt stopped making it.



And yes the 6940 and the 6920HBPW/SOCOM are the penultimate of the M4 development arc so any day now Colt should stop making them so they can build another Ruger Expanse or whatever they replace them with.

 

[Ashton1911]

Some of the gucci guns are over gassed like crazy to ensure they never malfunction. Some of them get 2-4 MOA because that is perfectly ok for fed contracts. Set up what you want, and tune it to make it work. Anderson receivers, faxon barrels, and a pricy trigger. Once you get the gas right, I would take it (price relevant) against any other rifle sold. If you only buy rifles, and swapping parts is beneath you, enjoy.

Let's look in on the Colt Board of Directors meeting for 4Q 2023:

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Everyone is making AR-15s now, including my mother on the westside of Indy. She is using the face of grandkids as CAGE codes.

Link?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Link?

You have to scan their faces to take you to the right SKU.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

The only real hope Colt has at this point it that the cocaine-addicted monkey is promoted to COO at this point. I know Colt already has a monkey at CIO and Marketing/Sales Director.

Quality over quantity gentlemen

 

[ditcherman]

Most of my BCM’s have JP spring kits, does that boost them any?

Also, surprised that Stag is mid tier b?

Quality over quantity gentlemen

Quality has a quantity of its own.

 

[KellyinAvon]

Everyone is making AR-15s now, including my mother on the westside of Indy. She is using the face of grandkids as CAGE codes.

A Commercial And Government Entity (CAGE) code is a 6-digit alpha-numeric code which identifies source of a specific item. This will be on the item record of the National Stock Number (NSN.)

If I don't point this out the next thing you know NSNs (13-digit number consisting the the Federal Supply Class AKA "the first 4" and the 9-digit National Item Identification Number or NIIN) will be a series of emojis.

After that? Doing doughnuts on forklifts will be commonplace. Duct tape will be an acceptable substitute for tie-down straps and cargo nets will be optional on all aircraft (463L) pallets.

Slippery slope here Kirk. I'm rolling up on a quarter-century since I worked Base Supply, but agents of chaos will not succeed on my watch!

Several years ago I almost bought a Radian. After seeing that chart now I wish I would have bought a Radian. Then I could thumb my nose at all of the Poors.

(The Radian Model 1 was a really nice rifle.)

 

[kennedy759]

bought an off the shelf Armalite years ago with 20 in heavy barrel, dropped in a JP trigger, and have never looked back, its all I need or want
