When Springfield first started coming out with their ARs, there were accuracy issues from what I heard. I also saw a video review of a Springfield, which was jamming.
How are recent Springfield ARs in terms of reliability, durability, and longevity? |

They use BA barrels that alone is enough reason to not buy one

No idea, but just looking up prices of ~$899 for Springfield Saint, you could snag the IWI Zion Z-15 for the same price, which is pretty well regarded.
Specs on paper also seem basically identical, just likely a but higher QC at IWI. |

Perhaps we should reverse the question: what do you stand to gain from buying a Springfield at that price point over numerous other models?
My response: no Springfields, period. If it is between the two, IWI. If you open it up to other options building your own is still the best idea, otherwise buy a Colt OEM series, install the furniture/rail of your choice and be happy. |

That's obviously not a reason to get one. |

Most recently one of the guys with a video channel was saying how is BCM uppers lasted much longer than his Aero ones which use BA barrels. |
