AR15's - Who makes the best ones and why?

Here is the problem i see and it is in no way directed at you, PaulD, people get it in there head that they have to have items like a $140 battlecomp when they have no idea how an AR even shoots then when they price everything out quality is sacrificed where it counts.

That is a very good point that I can't argue, and it further highlights how much this state sucks. In fact our asinine laws made it more difficult to build my own AR. I knew I wanted a comp and I had to have it pinned/welded, which meant making sure the gas block and barrel nut were installed and all that horsecrap.

NES shoots are a possible solution, but not perfect.

All comps are a compromise. The Battecomp gives up effectiveness for less noise. The SJC is very loud but very effective. You can't have both. F the people around me, I want a gun that shoots soft and flat.

Meh. There are at least some comps that are both ineffective and loud.
 
I'd say (in no particular order) JP, LaRue, Noveske, VLTOR, Colt and LWRC if you want piston.
 
IMO in terms of budget, I like stage arms and I just picked up a sig 516 gas piston upper and I love it. I have beat the crap out of the sig the last month and it keeps shooting cooler and cleaner than a gas system. Again just my opinion.

Proves to us WW is a solid manufacturer.

I took a carbine class recently and my Daniel Defense had zero failures after 1700 rounds in 3 days in the hot sun and the range was covered in sand. Guns on the line were DD, LMT, Colt and S&W. No one went down with a problem.

Whoa, I have heard a lot of adjectives used to describe JP rifles, but this is the first I've seen "modest plinker"!

Have you seen, handled and range tested a JP rifle, ISOTOX? Curious how you came to this conclusion...
