Hi, I am looking to buy my first AR. This will be the first rifle to my many shotguns and pistols...

Do you guys have any suggestions? I am looking to spend 1200-1400 on it and I want a scope as well.

What do you think? Any input? Places to go check out the stock?

Thanks for your input :hope:

Selling yours?

I am looking to buy one tomorrow, so I was looking for input on one that is available tomorrow.

It really depends on what you're looking for. Are you looking for a carbine/mid-length/full-length? Would it be for plinking/target shooting or home defense/SHTF/competition? Regarding the different brands, I think what the function of the rifle will be for you would determine that. All the brands out there aren't bad, but if I was looking for a strict SHTF/home defense AR, I would probably prefer one brand over another.

 

For your price range though, you should have some decent options. I think something you would have to factor though is the cost of whatever optics you decide on getting (whether its a HWS, red dot, or glass), and the accessories that go with that (mounts if needed, etc). The prices on optics can range a lot as you're probably already aware.

 

Don't just go to the shop and buy whatever they have. I think most everyone here could agree that you should find exactly what you want, and see if one of the vendors or your local dealer could get it in for you. I'm not going to go into brands because I think its all matter of opinion. Some guys love their Olympic Arms, some will only get a Noveske/LMT/Sabre/DD... so, I'm not going to open that can of worms. Best of luck.

yup

I'll know by the end of the weekend... my rifle has all top shelf parts AND already comes with 2 15 round mags.. if you are in such a rush that you can't wait a few days i understand... but if you are looking for a carbine type AR rifle the MP15 is a great choice.. i built it for my gf but she is going in a different direction and I like the rifle a lot i just don't shoot it enough to justify keeping it..

 

just to give you a break down..

 

S&W MP15

Troy folding iron sights

ACE entry stock

Daniel Defense hand guard rail

1 factory 10 round mag

2 15 round Pmags

 

(comes with factory stock and hand guard also)

 

AND about 100 rounds of 223...

 

like i said if you are really rushed i understand... but i should know by the end of the weekend if my current deal for the rifle is going to fall through..

 

but if you change your mind and can wait a day or two let me know because this rifle completely fits your description and has been a reliable enjoyable rifle..

Got a pic?

 

What would be reco'd for a good home defense AR?

I really love the MP15 after shooting some rounds though it. It's a very comfortable rifle. What is the rifling on it, 1 in 7 or 1 in 9?

that is the exact rifle.. minus the aimpoint reflex sights.. and that was before i put the troy iron sights on.. but thats pretty much the rifle..

1x9; I have an MP15 myself (exactly model Damaged is selling above), and am very happy with it. Good machining on MP15's, just have to check them to make sure (feed ramps, correct gas keys, etc)-- but best bang for your buck I think. Plus, they're in stock at most places I've been too-- as the MP15-ORC model is definitively made to be NJ compliant... and convenient if you're opting to rely on optics instead of iron sights.

Very nice.

 

After I get my handgun stuff squared away, I need to look into those ARs as I LOVED shooting Tiny's 9and want one just like it

I think when the time comes I'm going to get the MP. I am not so sure I need to be picking and choosing uppers and lowers etc etc for my first one. Once I get a feel for it via a well put together factory piece, and learn to disassemble/reassemble I may change my tune though. Who knows?

 

Either way I'd have one kick ass AR in the MP15.

thats the nice thing about AR's you start with a stock one.. and if you want you can mix and match uppers down the road..

Yea, I need to put together my next AR... an SPR for those long range zombies.

just snapped a couple of pictures as it sits now..

Which SPR upper were you considering for this build?

I'd probably choose between Noveske's 18'' SPR barrel (http://noveskerifleworks.com/cgi-bin/im ... e=&status=)

or a complete SPR upper from Sabre Defence (First one at the top, named "SPR" http://www.sabredefence.com/commercial.php?focus=upper)

I've had a Stag Model 1 since June. About 600 rounds through it and very happy. Very accurate. Fun to shit, not problems with it whatsoever. Bought a NJ legal one (post-ban) from a shop in CT, they have similar laws.
