It seems every week a thread starts asking what is the best AR and why. I read some of the responses and cringe that people think XYZ manufacturer makes a solid rifle.
There also seems to be a core of 5-10 people that think the same way and try to steer the OP by asking the purpose of the rifle which eventually dictates the recommendations of these 5-10 people.
Instead of soliciting info and people blurting out "I have XYZ and it runs fine" I would like this thread to serve as a go to thread on individual experience with more info than make and model. Please post here with the AR you have, why you bought it and how hard you run it.
Edit: Also what is the most you have put through the gun in a single session and how did it do?
I'll start:
I have a Daniel Defense M4 and an LMT M4. I bought these to serve as my go to guns and they will eat any ammo, every time i pull the trigger. I want a gun that shoots and refuse to have a M4 that is picky on ammo. I chose DD and LMT because they make and test there uppers to MIL-SPEC and specifically properly staked key, chromed lined carrier, 1/7 twist barrel, HP and MPI bolt and barrel.
The DD is new to me this past fall and have only sighted it in. The LMT is used from a friend and I personally saw 3-400 rounds run through the gun in a single day with no problems.
