Daniel Defense makes one of the best, most durable, reliable, accurate AR-15s on the market. They're actually originally produced for the military/LE market, not necessarily for civilians.
Stole this from a review of DD's Mk18:
Quote:
Quality is key. Aim for quality not quantity. Those are just a few of the hundreds of sayings about quality. And how useful is a an AR that has bad quality? About as useful as a poopy flavored lolly pop (Dodgeball movie quote). The MK18 is definitely not lacking in the quality department.
Have you ever heard of Cold-Hammer Forging? Well, short story version, its a forging process that forges the metal at a molecular level while at room temperature (which is why it’s called “Cold Forged”), aligning the molecules to provide greater strength and rigidity. In simple phrasing, it’s the best way to make barrels. Daniel Defense is one of only five companies worldwide that produces them. The process creates superior toughness and durability.

The point is that DD's are not made as "sport" rifles like 90% of ARs made today; DD's are designed to withstand combat or competition conditions and keep functioning at the highest levels.
They are then much more expensive than a typical run-of-the-mill AR-15, but you get a much higher quality machine for your money in return.
If you decide that an AR-15 is more about protecting your life/lives of your loved ones than it is about having fun, or you decide you want to go to the Nationals, that's when you start looking at guns like the ones Daniel Defense makes.
Another would be LMT (Lewis Machine & Tool).
