The reality is, is most budget ARs are, in fact, truly "good enough" for most shooters. Most people aren't going to use them in any serious manner. Some range use. Maybe a few competitions now and then. Nothing crazy.
Just like any gun it kind of comes down to "what are YOU using this for?" As long as it's not an UNSAFE gun, I don't really care what others use or judge them for it.
I only have 3 ARs. An early DPMS, a Bushmaster and a PSA. For my use, those are fine enough. One is a midlength, ones a shorty and ones a dissipator. I do want a nice 20" eventually. I'll probably put more into that.
