Why should we Free BSD?
Mine was built really close to his death. I've been happy with it. Tight and accurate is hell. Not one issue.
Then you got your stuff before the quality drop off. I wasn't sure when you did.

Black Rain and POF come to mind....
LWRC for me. I've got several for our AR class for years. Thousand and Thousands of rounds.. The factory is less than 30 miles from us and we've had zero problems. These are all piston guns and range in caliber from 556 to 6.8.
I personally own Colt, Daniel Defense and Engage in DI carbines . No problems with them either. The one's I had problems with have been ones I've put together. Love you Chad!!!
Have you tried LWRC's DI rifle yet, or have you seen one used in one of your classes? How did it do? I have an IC-Enhanced and a REPR. I have been thinking of adding a DI rifle from LWRC. DI is much cheaper.
1inch my arse. That thing can barely get close to 2 feet.*****I have this LWRC DI rifle and I am VERY happy with it. Very accurate with standard 55 grain ball ammo. Consistent 1 inch groups or a bit less if I use better quality 62 grain match ammo at 100 yards. The finish is superb and the bolt, carrier, etc.. are clearly of much better quality than my cheapie AR's from higher volume manufacturers that sell at a much lower price point. I use this particular rifle as my HD rifle. Easy to shoot, and everything fits nicely...

I made my own Gucci AR. Proof Carbon fiber barrel, SLR titanium brake, geissele trigger, young mfg chrome bcg, SLR adjustable gas, Aero monolithic upper
Had Chad go thru everything and set it up. I love it
A Gas Piston Manufacturers Rep didn't appreciate me crap talking Nickle Boron a few years back. He asked why I disliked the coating and I explained the problems I have seen. He said they don't have that problem. Less than a year later they dumped NiB Bolts (They still do NiB on the Carrier).
I posted similar things about the same conpanys G.P. AR's beating the fixed piston gas system to death when a can was attached. The conpany rep and other fans claimed I was being dishonest about the issues I saw. About a year later the adjustable system popped up.
Makes me wonder how much research, development, and live fire testing really happened.
doesn't take much to figure out who you're referring to here LOL
Never understood the allure of the GP AR. I have shot a few LWRC's ARs and to tell you the truth besides a different recoil feel (neither good or bad) they were nothing special that made say, "oh I need one of these." Throw in the non standardization I can't trust in 20 years I will find the parts I need if I buy Brand X.
My critique often makes me a target, so I have to minimize what I share.
People believe the propaganda about the D.I. and are convinced or duped into believing G.P. is an improvement.
They ignore the things that had to be grought to market to fix the problems G.P. AR systems create like faster unlocking and bolt breakage, especially with a suppressor (fluted Chambers, roller cams, and adjustable gas), carrier tilt (beefed carrier tails and modified receiver extensions), carrier key breakage (monolithic carrier and key).
The bolt breakage issues has much to do with bolt load when unlocking. G.P. AR designs add more bolt lug load due to the way it works. D.I. removes load when unlocking, which reduces bolt stress.
