AR-15s

No. But I compare many weapons to the much hyped, over blown and over priced Colt. They aren’t the bench Mark nor do they set the bar.

Colt. The name you overpay for because it makes you feel good. That was a small poster I had on the shop wall when I was gunsmithing and selling guns.


I'm not here to argue, and I do not own a Colt, but would like to hear what you consider a benchmark brand? Geissele, Noveske, Daniel Defense, Bravo, Larue, LMT, LWRC.... something else?

I also do not own a Geissele, but have shot a bunch, there isn't much out there (non custom made) nicer to shoot in my opinion, between the tuned gas system and the trigger, they are hard to beat. My go to is a Bravo Recce 16 with a Geisselle 2 stage in it.
