I have a few cheap ones and I've never had any problems with them. All but one, I put together.

We gone forward these days bruh. I spent more money on either of the last 2 uppers I bought than I did my first AR, which was an off the shelf Adams Arms Voodoo I paid 8 beans for. They were worth it. I'm real happy with the last one. More than even I thought I would be.

I bought one of the Radical firearm AR's. It has the same furniture but mine has one long picatinny rail on top none on the sides or bottom up front. It shoots the imi 77gr razor core just fine. At 100 yards with a red dot it will keep within a .50¢ piece. Pretty damn steller for $500.
Honestly I wasn't expecting much but it surprised the heck out of me. It came with the same bolt carrier group made by toolcraft that I bought at the 4th of July sale last year.
 
If it runs for you, it's good. People joke about PSA etc... but it's what makes sense for you, and your use case. Does anyone need a $2k + AR? With the exception of competition shooters and Mil/LEO roles... probably not. But it's your choice. Is it nice to have one? Absolutely.

Gunslaps goes pretty hard on every single manufacturer / brand out there (And Garand Thumb). If you ever wanted to chuckle, look them up on Instagram. No one is safe, and it's hilarious.
 
Any inexpensive milspec upper and lower receiver $80 +/-, non MIM parts kits $100 +/- (grip included), a chrome lined hammer forged barrel for $100-$150, a reputable bcg, and an $80 LaRue MBT-2S trigger. Not required, but for $80 more, you could also throw on a Superlative Arms adjustable gas block. You're have an inexpensive AR $600-$700 that will be just as reliable and will last just as long as a $2000 AR.

The barrel, bcg, and trigger will be the most important thing that determines longevity and accuracy. You don't need to spend $2k on a Gucci AR to achieve the same results. What you're really paying for is the brand name, some proprietary parts, looks, and extra unrequired features. I rather have 2 or three ARs and a bunch of ammo than one Gucci AR.

I'm not a rifle shooter, but I was tempted after seeing some cheap AR prices. I couldn't get through this video, he's an idiot. I wasn't impressed with the guy abusing the guns. I wanted to know if they all had the same twist rate, whether the ammo was appropriate for the twist rate, and accuracy of each at 100 yards. Comments about furniture and ease of attaching accessories is useful. Whether the castle nut is staked or not is useful, but not a big deal.
Anyway, I guess I won't get an AR, but not because of this guy.

Or you can pick out a high end upper, BCM, DD, Wilson Combat, and put together your own $2000 rifle for $1200-ish.

True, but there's nothing a high-end offers me that I can't get with a lower tier. I could never bring myself to spend $1100 or so just on an upper. Plus, I like for my ARs to have little to no proprietary parts, so any piston systems are a no-go for me. There are a few other rifles and handguns in the $1200 range that I rather own than an AR-15. That said, buying the higher end upper and pairing it with an inexpensive lower is a smarter path to take versus buying the complete rifle.

Aero stripped lower and BCM MKII upper, BCM furniture and premium BCG, Hiperfire trigger. Around 13 or 14 altogether.
