ArmaLite hooked me with a couple things, first the accuracy of the rifle but almost as important was customer service. They seem to take almost an ownership role with their lifetime guarantee. I know that a stripped lower wouldn't have the guarantee but it was made like it would.

For me, I almost work exclusively on ArmaLites and know the ins and out of their stuff. I do know the other brands and not predaceous about working on them either.
But I do have my stories too...
I understand, people like what they like and that's what they want. But since the topic is, I answered about ArmaLite.
Right now, ALL manufactures are ramped up to catch up with the craze that started back in January. Even though the buying has slowed down, the building has not. Everybody has back orders to fill and right now, rifles are the main priority.
***example***
#1 Try finding a Remington R15 or R25... You wont.
Bushmaster is to busy making their rifles to cut lowers for Remingtons' R15 and DPMS is busy making their rifles to cut lowers for Remingtons' R25.
#2 Ruger actually said... if they were to turn their phones off right now and not take another order the rest of the year... they would still have enough orders for production to keep them busy for the next three years.

I bought a ruger 22/45 last year and was very disapointed with it. Both the front sight and and the pivot pin in the rear sight fell off in the first 50 rounds. I used some locktite on the front, they didn't, but the pin for the rear was out of spec. They told me they were sending an oversize pin that would fix it, they sent the same size I had, called again and they said they had no over-sized pins........ 
The trigger was pure grit and the accuracy nonexistent, a real joke compared to the MKII I shot years ago. Between the QC and the CS I've written them off.
