Another issue I would have with them, especially with the current environment:
Pg. 4, 15 and 34. I want something that eats most anything.
"We do not recommend the use of steel cased, lacquer-coated, or hand loaded ammunition because it may damage your rifle and will void your warranty."

And don't like pg. 15 either.

That's just a bunch of product manual poppycock.
Also, chances are if you are sending in an AR for warranty work, your sending it in after the first few mags... That said I have never sent an AR in for warranty work, or at least not for an issue that wasn't easily remedied at home.
Steel cased ammo is harder on the extractor and can wear out a barrel a bit faster than brass... emphasis on a bit. Some rifles that are properly tuned for full power 5.56 will also not run steel cased as well.
There is nothing special about their AR that makes it work any differently with steel cased ammo.
They’re just reducing their risk...maybe.

AOC said "lifting one's self up by their bootstrap" is a physical impossibility.Well...I guess I just gotta lift my self up by the boot straps and get the hell out of poverty.
That's a pretty controversial take, to put it politely. They're no longer mil-spec, but they've made what I would consider some pretty substantial improvements over the standard M16 pattern, especially with the E3 bolt.

I'd actually love to see a real comparison of makers. I just convinced my friend to get a PSA instead of DD and instead of a single rifle, he got a pistol, rifle keymod upper/stock, AND an Eotech scope for less money.
Also you forgot Rock River Arms. I'd say they are either 1st or 2nd tier.

No, sorry, that's the only one that popped into my head, mainly because I have a couple.

How about POF (Patriot Ordnance Factory)? I would expect it to be operator level but maybe high tier.

Better, but I would still move RRA up another notch. Their stuff is mostly milspec, at lest. But maybe that's just me...

I still think Stag should definitely be higher than Poverty level.
