"Best" is mostly a matter of opinion, but.....
Not long ago the answer would've been "Stick to the ABC's" (Armalite, Bushmaster, and Colt).
These days, with over 40 manufacturers making AR15's, M-4's, or simply lower receivers, it's very hard to say who makes "the best" AR anymore.
The "ABC's" are still a save bet, but many companies are cranking out exceptionally high quality AR's.
(Mark) LaRue makes an incredibly well-built receiver that's CNC machined out of solid 7075 aluminum. The trouble is - you have to pay a large premium,.. IF you can find one.
There are still Diamonds around (machined out of billet stainless steel). They're very precise, very strong, very expensive, and very hard to find though.
Someone else is still making a SS AR, but I can't remember who it is right now (DPMS maybe,.. not sure. I'll post when I find out).
JP Precision makes a complete AR now (made only precision replacement and competition parts until recently). Everything they make is top of the line stuff!
There are other high-end AR's out there (like MagPull), and the numbers are growing every day.

The Ruger Mini-14 has never been able to accept the M16/AR-15 magazine. A proprietary magazine for the Mini-14 has always been used.
If you find a way to convert a Mini-14 to accept STANAG magazines, I'm open to suggestions, but I have not been able to find one yet.
How do you fit an m60 bipod to an ar15?
Colt made a special collar that slid on the barrel about 1.5 inches behind the barrel. The collar had cut to limit the cant of the bipod and was held by a roll pin. The version I saw was on a special HBAR barrel (.750 dia.). The standard M60 bipod fit between the collar and the flash hider.
