  • This is my ranking of the AR brands I am familiar with, feel free to make your own ranking or add some missing companies that you are aware of. Find out which AR-15’s came out the best. This Tier list is not only based upon performance of the guns, but the pricing on the products as well. If things are overpriced, they maybe downranked, if things are underpriced, they may rise in the rankings. These are my opinions; I am not sponsored in any way. Have some fun in the comments!

    FN is at least A tier for me man. They make MOST of the chf barrels in the game. One of only 2 brands on military contract which doesn't mean too much anymore but their guns simply work and there barrels are top tier any day. Wish they made their own bcgs instead of sourcing to AO precision but AO makes good shit.

    I understand your reasoning and balance between price but how you absolutely trash Geissele for charging $2200 for their ARs and call them overpriced and place them in C tier, and then in the next breath put HK at A tier? HKs are crazy money and give you nothing more than most other companies, your logic doesn’t follow.

    • @randyreviewsit
      @randyreviewsit  9 месяцев назад +34

      This was involved innovation and the hk has the piston. The 2024 one will be focused on shtf so proprietary parts are going to count against you and the sales with Geissele lately will likely put them in a higher tier when we look at it that way. Which is probably more representative of what most people should shoot for, something for shtf as of right now

    Just bought my first AR. The amount of information and number of brands available are mind-boggling. I didn't really know where to start. I watched a few "top 5" and "top 10" videos, and I wasn't ready to drop over $2k on a high-end AR, but I didn't want to buy bottom of the barrel, either. I was ready to pull the trigger on either a Stag or a Springfield Saint Victor, but a local gun shop talked me into an LWRC for only a couple hundred dollars more. Got the LWRC Discovery. Unfortunately, I'm in CA, and have to wait until next week before I can pick it up. Glad to see that you ranked LWRC so high on your scale.

      ”The AR-15/M16 and the AR-10 family of rifles employ a unique gas powered operating system patented by Eugene Stoner in the 1950s. This gas operating system works by passing high pressure propellant gasses tapped from the barrel down a tube and into the carrier group within the upper receiver, and is commonly but incorrectly referred to as a “direct impingement” system.
      The gas expands within a donut shaped gas cylinder within the carrier. Because the bolt is prevented from moving forward by the barrel, the carrier is driven to the rear by the expanding gasses and thus converts the energy of the gas to movement of the rifle’s parts. The bolt bears a piston head and the cavity in the bolt carrier is the piston sleeve. It is more correct to call it an “internal piston” system.”

      ​@@austingriff833I do Precision sheet metal engineering / fabrication. I used my mitutoyo dial Caliper that is capable of measuring 0.0000 to inspect the rifle I just built. The tolerances on the Aero precision we're far within tolerance. The tolerance was just as good and some places better than my Buddy's Daniel Defense. I also bought their 16 in stainless steel 416r fluted barrel which is beautiful. I don't know why so many people hate on Aero precision. In my experience, Their stuff is definitely higher than milspec, but it can fit mil-spec. If you look at the Tolerance on most milspec products they only go to .00 so to have their upper receiver, lower receiver, takedown pin holes, and other important Dimensions be within .005 it's pretty impressive. Just saying.🤷🏻

      The crazy thing about the proprietary stuff is that it’s doesn’t create the compatibility issue that some people think it makes. You can still put a BCM, DD, G$ upper on that lower; or a different BCG (I’m almost sure) in the LWRC upper (I don’t see why you’d want to). Proprietary in this case is made in house with different features from the rest of the market, but not exclusively compatible like proprietary meant in the case of early Apple products or old Sony vaio stuff…

I'm pretty sure they still don't produce any parts in house but rather use major production facilities to work on specific designs and specs, get all the parts in their warehouse where they then go over the rifle with a fine tooth comb, stamp their name on everything and jack up the price.

That's just been my personal experience. Going by other peoples ranking of best to worst is like comparing apples and oranges. One person gets a bad orange and all of sudden all those types of oranges are bad according to them. They get areal good apple and all of a sudden all those types of apples are great.

    As somebody who currently owns both a Geissele with a MK8 rail and a Type A Contractor, they are on par with each other. The Type A has an overall better fit, finish, and lower. I know the Type A is piston and doesn’t compare to DI, but the Geissele recoil impulse is slightly better. Also, the trigger and buffer system is nicer. The gas rings in the EBCG have lasted longer as well. I also prefer the Surefire muzzle devices on the Geissele as I’ve had 2 baffle strikes with my Sandman S. Both guns are incredibly accurate.

    • @randyreviewsit

    As Military Armor who has built and and is very familiar with parts barrels and standards the Colts(especially the SOPMOD) are much better than you ranked them. The Colts are way better than then BCM, CMMG or Cobalt. Put them in the A (bottom of A) as far as performance. Ignore the cost its on par for the Chromeline barrels the CMV 4150 is way better steel than most of the rest listed. They have more R&D for softer recoil than all the rest of the comapines listed.

I’ve owned many of the brands on here and some that aren’t on here and I’ve built/assembled a few. I currently own, in addition to my LWRC is a SA Saint Victor because of the value for the price and also because I was in the market for a second or third AR right around the time panic buying had started and the gun came in as I was coming in to settle on a more basic AR.

Grid defense are trash btw, I made the mistake of quantity over quality a few years back when trying to kit out the entire family and every single one has had issues from the stripped lowers not being milled to spec to the gas systems not working properly. My PWS has been my most durable rifle. The Ambi lower beats out lmt and is up there with my ADM ambi. PWS is definitely S tier with how elite the quality and durability/reliability is vs price. For sure over KAC due to the insane price point. I’d probably put BCM up there as well due to price point. PSA has raised the bar and are probably better than Aero at this point.

    I wonder where Patriot ordnance Factory would sit in this list. Their Revolution DI is $1200 less than the V Seven and is only a few ounces more in weight with quite a few neat technology features in it. Not sure how they would compare but it could be a contender.

      @justanotherinternetexpert7743 maybe because I have only shot their AR-10 you illiterate bum, I have posted that no less than 8-9 times in these comments that you have failed to read. I haven’t shot their ar-15 only their ar-10 so it wouldn’t be fair to comment on it . Maybe you are fine talking about stuff you have no experience with, but I would rather have real data. Also no one is going to be a tier making their handguard look like a goddamn warthog tusk that poses a stabbing hazard to the user. The only thing that is trash here is your comment.
