With black Friday done and over with, and me working I am left with a few choices.

The Armalite M15A4CB for 1050.

The Bushmaster O.R.C. for 850.

DPMS Sportical- 750.00

All are on hold for me so I can make a choice.

Which is a better deal in Longevity, Durability, Reliabilty,Malufunctions?

Anyone of them except the Sportical.  The Sportical is like a neutered AR.  Kinda like going to Walmart instead of Macy's.  The Sportical is an economical AR and it does not have a forward assist or ejection port cover.

Bushmaster or Armalite.  I personally go Bushmaster before Armalite in the 5,56 arena.  I haveabunch ofBushy's w. no issues.  Dreaded Wolf ammo is eaten no problem.

I would also look to RR for the 1k mark.  I have 1 and like it a alot.

What is the "B" stand for in the model number? Is it a AWB model?

"Also available in AWB(Assault Weapon Ban) configuration.
AWB Model numbers: 15A4C-2 and 15A4CB-2."

I dont think it was a -2 but I will check today, but what would be the differences?

I also think now the CB stands for carbine.

I personally like Stag. I have one and am planning on getting another come January. Mine is flawless and very accurate. The only trouble I've ever had was one failure to eject. That was with Wolf ammo. I've outfitted it to be my "Katrina Rifle" and with an Eotech 512 and it's more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

I recently went with a friend that just got his (after a prolonged wait) Armalite AR10 and to be perfectly honest I was not at all impressed with their quality control. Between the upper and lower there is a noticeable gap. Enough so that it rattles; and no doubt changes aim. Maybe this is a isolated case but still....

Maybe so, there are alot of Amra fans here though that swear by them.

Of those particular models, I would have to say Armalite...If the Bushmaster was in a M4 config., I would say Bushmaster....Definitely PASS on the DPMS
