So back to the fact that it's purely due to poor assembly rather than poor quality materials, correct?

For that price @[NC]sampson unless you're really intent on building one yourself, from my experience an M&P15 would probably fit. Might not be "battle ready" but you'll be able to learn the rifle and modify what you need to modify and swap weak points etc etc.

aero's barrels, I think made by a sister company ballistic advantage, are okay. They'll get around 1.5-2 moa if I remember right, which compared to any other rifle from the era of the m16 is actually fantastic.

lower parts kits are all basically the same outside of triggers. Which can vary greatly. I'm just using a basic ass anderson parts kit and swapping the grip because it feels like holding a cactus. I don't intend on doing any crazy long range shooting to where that slight accuracy is going to make a difference. Especially if it's in a SHTF situation.

Especially if it's in a SHTF situation. @Soulraiser There are inherent differences between the quality control and trigger weight of lower parts. Most do contain the same springs and are supposed to be made to the same spec, but that does not mean that al are help to the same scrutiny.

I can see that. I figure, on your first one at bare minimum, you're going to lose a spring anyways. Might as well be a cheap one. As long as it isn't rusted out.. Idk how that even happens in that situation.
