Ford and Mack hands down, lol
Oh wait, I’ve had Chevy and GMC before I got my Ford.
Seriously though,
I was going to post when this was first posted but decided to wait. I was going to say our very own Gunny but not sure OPwould find it funny.
When I got my first AR there were those who claimed anything short of Colt and a handful of top tier manufacturers was risking your life if you ever needed it for self defense. Since then, I’ve seen torture tests on many and am really impressed on the PSA that couldn’t be destroyed until it was blown up with explosives.
The reality is if an AR uses high quality parts it’ll get the job done. After that some have nicer fit and finish. Some have nicer features, and there are a zillion ways to build them.
So as some said, it’s impossible to say what’s best. But high quality ARs exist in all price ranges.
And of course many of us now assemble our own as there are so many great parts and we can build them exactly the way we want!
Your post kind of proves the point I was trying to make. Everyone has an opinion and they can differ a great deal. Mack trucks? Yes they are good. The oilfield has proved that to me. They stand up as well as anything made in that environment. Ford anything. I've owned both cars and trucks in the past and driven some as company trucks. There isn't a Ford anything in my future. If someone gave me one I would accept the gift---and drive it immediately to a GMC dealer and trade it off.
Back to the OP. I have very little experience with ARs. My first was a S&W OR carbine, my second is a Colt carbine. They do exactly what I wanted them for and do it well and have had no problems. They are middle of the road in price and I intend to keep both. There are a ton of choices out there. Have fun picking from them. I'm going back to my popcorn and coke.
