Hey Everybody, So I am looking to get my first AR. I've done some research and sort of know what I am looking for but still am unsure how to proceed. At this point I am most likely looking to buy and not build my first one. Here are some of the basics that I know along with what I am looking to spend. I know that rifle must not say AR, has 15 rnds max on the mag, muzzle break permanently attached, and fixed full length stock. I don't mind spending 1,000-1,300 for good quality components. The way I want to apporach this is that I want to buy one that will last and that I can enjoy for a long time to come, I DON'T want to skimp on quality. I also know that basically all AR are made the same it is just whos mark on the gun (but I don't know whos components are the best) >need your input here I also need to know who/where are the Go To gun shop in Central/South jersey who know their stuff when it comes to ARs and can make the buying experience friendly and helpful. As far as usage goes, this rifle will be primarly used on the 50-100 yard ranges of my gun club, and will be looking into getting some type of scope/sight in the future (once I save up more $$$). Thanks for any and all input.

Not sure yet on the assemble or buy. I wouldn't mind buying complete, since this will be my first one, I am very mechanically inclined (I work on/rebuild diesel engines), but I figured that there might be a better chance of everything working and fitting together better. Thanks for the welcomes

Hey Everybody, I just stumbled upon this forum (luckily) and hope to get some good advice especially related to ARs (looking to get one very soon). Been a member of Telco for about a year now and really enjoying the hobby. Been shooting trap and hand guns but really want to get a AR for the longer ranges and the fun factor . Hope to get lots of good info here
