What makes one AR manufacturer superior to another?
Metal quality? Tooling? More aggresive quality testing? Parts? Machine maintainence?
I'm under the impression that building an AR consists largely of loading your specs into CNC machines, pressing "GO", then throwing those parts together.
Opportunities for human error seem limited (gas block alignment?, headspacing?, gas keys?)
I'm just curious what individual factors make a Colt better than Brand X, instead of just saying "quality" or "price" and leaving it at that.
