Thanks all.

There are so many problems I see with AR Manufacturers in the past few years that I don't trust any of them.
Currently I don't use or recommend:
Hardened Arms
Bear Creek
Ballistic Advantage
Radical
Anderson
and recent stuff from BCM and PSA.

Brownells and Primary Arms have great Customer Service. I buy thousands of dollars of items from them and they always accept returns without hassle.

Interesting, problems as in?

Parts that won't go together without Lathe work, Mill work, or lapping, and Parts that fail gauges.
Manufacturers should have gauges and hire people to use them.There is no excuse for products being constantly out of spec. Everyone has problems from time to time, but all of the ones I mentioned are constant problems.
The average AR owner just throws shit together and says, well it went together, so it must be good and don't see problems till it's time to pull the trigger.

The most recent issues with BCM are with Bolt Carriers. The things look like they were made in Pakistan and when BCM was shown pictures and asked to replace it, the company said there is nothing wrong with the machining.
Sad from a company that had a stellar reputation for trustworthy AR components and groups.

That has been my beef with much of the firearms industry lately. Unattendant to actually turning out a properly engineered product and/or repairing out of spec relationships. Example, Sig has yet to determine where the center of a primer is located. All done.

I have had beef with SIG for years because of their lack of Q.C.
It's so bad it seems intentional but SIG Fans won't hear of it.

Bummer, too. Their 1911 pistol, with just some refinement would be an outstanding value...but I digress.
