Any AR Manufacturer to stay away from

[BREATHER]

I hope this is the right place to ask this.

After looking for awhile and not jumping into something I will regret, I will ask. Of all the manufacturers making the AR is there any that a person should stay away from.???. We all know that there are cluster f#*%s out there. I just want to get the value from my money. I have decided to buy a factory made for my first, get to know the mechanics and build one later. I just want a "plain jane". no bells, whistles, scopes, lasers, or lights. All that can come later. Thanks in advance.

I'm interested as well.... I've looked at a whole bunch of reviews and they all seem like they will work...

some people say to stay away from roggio arsenal. i have one and it's really tight but i don't like any play between the upper and lower.

also have a few surplus arms and ammo lowers and i can complain

update: roggio went under for some reason

I have a colt 5 bushmasters and 1 DPMS
they all work well and have had no problems
I prefer a 20 inch 1 in 9 twist
I prefer a standard stock and full length handgaurd because it fits me best.
if your up north your welcome to come and see what fits

Vulcan
Hesse
Blackthorn (all 3 are some company with shoddy products)
M&A has been having QC issues as well as credit card information stolen

If this is your very first AR... buy or order locally. You can touch and feel them (insert joke here). I'd stop by MGT or 5280.
