I am wanting to buy a good, reliable AR. I have the frankenguns and Colt A2 rifles, and they all run great, but I’m wanting a complete factory rifle that is great quality. I’m wanting 16 inch, or 14.5 p&w. I already have an SBR frankengun as well. I have looked at the Colts, FNs, DD, Geiselle, etc. Prices are all over the place. I know I can get all of the good parts and build one, but if you were to buy one factory rifle to be your grab and go, what would it be? Am I missing any obvious options?
 
sounds like you build your own, are they reliable? if so source prime components and build your dream gun maybe? you can get matching upper/lowers and bcg's to reduce tolerance stacking. the rest of it is not a big deal.

all my frankengun home builds have been reliable. it always boiled down to barrels for me with certain profiles and gas port sizes. hard to achieve that with factory rifles IMO.

Lewis machine and tool. Titan Defense and LMT online store for availability. BCM and Colt make good weapons too. I would suggest Knights but their guns cost a fortune now.
