Best stock AR under $1,000

Your best bet is to do a little research and find the rifles that are born in house and not from a marketing department.  Then whittle that list down by warranty.  Soon you will figure out the industry for what it is and for what it definitely isn't.

So....

 

A few weeks ago the guys from Modern Materiel got in touch with me, they wanted me to check out their rifles. They ended up coming to the range during one of our SWAT drills and brought two of their rifles for us to try out. (As well as a couple of tricked out Glocks with some very well done mods - stippling and slide work.)

All of my guys got a chance to put some rounds downrange through them. They were all equally impressed, and a few guys plan on picking one up.

 

They shoot as great as they look. For the price - under $1k - they have some great features -

 

Free float Keymod rail

Magpul Fixed Carbine Stock

Magpul MOE grip and Trigger Guard

 

Their in-house brake is very soft shooting. A little blasty to the sides, but as a shooter, you don't feel anything.

 

Not to mention they are NJ Legal from the word go. No extra expense getting compliance work. Even better, an FFL doesn't need to register this as an assault rifle in their book prior to making it legal and completing the sale.

 

That day the rifles ran flawlessly. Between the 15-20 guys at the range that day we probably put about 300-400 rounds through each of the 2 carbines without a hiccup.

 

Now, I don't have a long history shooting one, so I can't speak to long term reliability, but - I am saving up to buy one as a range gun. When I do, I will shoot the ever-loving crap out of it and keep a detailed log. I expect to be pleased.

 

Currently, I would recommend these rifles to anyone in NJ looking for a nice range stick for under $1k. I don't know about recommending one for duty-type use yet, but, like I said, I am going to buy one and find out.

 

Great review - what dealers stock them if any locally or do they have to be ordered?  I like the fixed MOE stock from factory as opposed to swapping it out on another rifle (which requires a buffer tube as well on the Ruger, S&W MP for example)

I'm also interested where to find them locally, prices, etc.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
