I've been playing around with AR style rifles for close to a decade now and just last year started building them. I work at a machine shop and it has made me curious as to why do people think name brand upper or lower receivers are any better than cheaper ones? Leaving billet receivers out of the topic and just talking forged. Since they are all 7075 forged alluminum and mil spec. What really makes spikes better than say PSA or anderson mfg? I use odin works bolts and barrels and black rain ordanace lower parts kits. And my rifles shoot perfectly and all group under an inch at a 100 yards. So is it just a label whore thing to get a name brand upper and lower receiver or am I missing something?
