Hey guys, I'm new to the forums here and am a first time gun buyer. Hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I'm looking to buy an inexpensive AR15 style rifle ( around $600-$700). Is there anyone who knows where I can buy one already NJ legal and ready to go in that price range? Any help is really appreciated.

check with pk90 arms and ammo he had a few in the 800 range..

In that price range, you might be better off buying one slightly used. Either that, or you can build your own if you have hands on skills. Off the top of my head, Stag Arms makes some rifles that may be about $100 or so over what you are looking to spend. Also, S&W makes an optics ready model that fits your price range.....but you would either need to mount your own set of optics, sights, or both. I am, of course, only recommending rifles that have some reliability to them. There are probably other rifles you could get for cheaper......but I wouldn't recommend it.

 

What are your intentions with the rifle?

I am mostly going to use it for target shooting, maybe hunting once in a while but probably not that often.

What part of the State are you in?

 

You may be able to buy a complete upper and complete lower and just snap 'em together.

 

The reality is after taxes and NICS, you're 100-200 under what you need to spend for a complete NJ legal rifle.

I live in Westfield. Where should I be looking to buy the upper and lower kits. Is it easy to order them online or is there a gun shop you would recommend that is in my area? And is there anywhere I can maybe find some quality used rifles for sale that are already legal?

What sort of configuration are you looking at buying? I have a few USED uppers (some more used then others) that I am looking to sell off. I might even be willing to part with a lower... Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

I haven't dealt with any gun stores in your area but TJ(a vendor here: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/user/1533-tj462nj/) is down the parkway a bit from you and I'm quite sure he can hook you up with something.

 

My dealer(Mastodon, a vendor here) is in Highland lakes, about an hour fifteen based on google maps would also order you parts and put them together. PK90(vendor here) is in south Jersey and I'm sure he would also set you up nicely. There's a bit of a void in your area unless I'm missing something.

 

I suspect you could get a complete DPMS upper and lower in your price range.

 

Perhaps even get a used upper from someone and just get the lower from a dealer.
