Disclaimer, I'm not an AR expert and have never had to rely on one for personal safety. If I did, I may rethink my AR choices.
IMHO - if you are shooting 1" groups, the functions reliably and you enjoy shooting it, I see no reason to dish out a lot of money for maybe a 1/2" grouping.
I love building guns from the ground up. I do 80% lowers (I know some will scoff at that), powder coat them every color you can think of and spend my money on triggers, BCG, barrels and optics. I started with the Timney triggerr - big improvement over mil spec, then tried CMC and liked it more, then tried the Elftmann adjustable and really liked it (I have that trigger installed on 3 or 4 - 5.56 guns and one 300 BLKO). I recently got a good deal on a hyperfire trigger and installed it with the 2.5lb springs - LOVE IT!!. I just ordered 4 more - 2 for 5.56 guns and 2 for the 300 BLKO guns.
I generally run Nickel Boron BCG, they have been super reliable for me, and up to this point use mostly Chrome barrels. I'd like to try a Nitride one to see if I notice any difference.
I have yet to find the 'perfect' optic, so the search continues .
I do the same for 10/22's and 1911's. My wife says I need an intervention...
