2 AR or not 2 AR

[deadeye]

getsome These guy tend to get a little side tracked at times. The M&P15 sport is a good ar for the money. Around $600 here new. It does everything well and really needs nothing . Buy it and shot it hard.

Good advice. When I first got into AR's I found out something interesting. Ask 10 people and you will get 10 different answers. The common logic is as follows: "Why buy a Chevy when a Cadillac will do the same thing?" Guess it depends how much the WOW! factor is worth to you. We have a DPMS Sportical and an M&P 15. Both have been excellent. Not one problem with either. Enjoy it!

Roger that sir.....I really want to thank everyone for the good advise in this thread and I hope it helps somebody else out as well....I was really feeling stupid because while I'm fairly knowledgeable about hand guns and most rifles I didn't know squat about the AR platform.... Thanks again fellows

Thanks hardluk, thats what I plan to do in a few weeks when I can save up a few more bucks....Bought a box of shells last night so now I have to buy the rifle or I will have wasted the money...Am I right!!!!...:59:

^^^^ that's good thinking right there....lock yourself in. Makes a good argument for the Mrs. too.

Enjoy it!!

I thought I was the only one who subscribed to that train of thought.

Dang, BEARDOG - that's a good deal, even if it is OD green.

MidwayUSA has a neat Magpul furniture special on right now, full set of furniture for $84.

Lots of good advice here…and I do not even have an AR15. You can also go on over to ar15.com and get yourself really confused: DI or piston, make or buy, etc, etc, etc… Some of the supporting vendors offer complete ARs as well as parts in the Equipment Exchange there, too.

There are deals out there on hardly used models.

I too never really wanted one until all the chatter about banning them.

My first Black Rifle, a Colt 6920, was bought specifically to pi$$ off Barbara Boxer. After that the fever started, so be careful

I have several ARs. They are Colts. Both perform fine. Everyone should have, and know how to use one. A decent AR these days is $700-$1100.
That said, my ARs are lonely. I have AKs in .223, and those get the range time. I keep an AR at my bedside for two reasons. 1. It has a light. 2. If I had to use it, I would not miss it as much while in the police evidence room.

Buy the sport and enjoy it as a solid shooter that ist is then as time goes buy you can gather up the parts you want to build what you learn you really wanted over time and not make your wallet sqeeeeelll to badly. They are habit forming. Beside after the wife get some range time with it she may likely keep it as hers !

Getsome, when you decide you want to start swapping out stuff, read through this link at arfcom, warning it's over 200 pages of basic to dressed out ARs.
