I am gathering info to build my first AR-15. My son and I have built a 1911 and greatly enjoyed the learning experience. I would like to know some opinions on quality of components from different manufactures. Is Rock River or Olympic Arms a good product? I can’t say money is no object however I’m willing to pay a little more for good reliable component.

I would stay away from Olympic, Model1sales, Del-ton and Blackthorne.....they tend to be the bottom feeder guns and parts.
Rock River is very good .

i built my first using all RRA stuff- parts kit, stock, complete upper on a spikes lower and the install was a breeze. works like a charm

I like Stag and DPMS, they are on the budget side of things. I won't have anything to do with RRA, I had an upper on backorder for 12 weeks, they proved rather unhelpful. Now I just go elsewhere.

+1 on RB Precision. I have built two on the RRA they sell. Nothing but good things out of RB Precision.
