Last year I got the AR bug as did many people who feared Obama would go after "assault" weapons, so I went out and got one before it was too late. For better or worse, he focused on assaulting our health care. Anyway, after tricking out my S&W M&P AR-15 Optics Ready model with all the bells and whistles and ending up with a heavy and cumbersome weapon, I lost interest and could not find a use for the laser, strobe light, etc... So sold it to move on to something else.
Now I want to get another one because it really was fun to shoot with my daughters, and I would like to use it as a hog gun and for long range target shooting. I don't need it for HD as I have several revolvers, autos and shotguns for that. I want to stay basic on accessories with only an upgraded hand guard, grip, two-stage trigger, AR scope and bipod. I might consider BUIS but they would not be used much at all. I would like to stay mil-spec on everything as much as possible. I'm leaning towards another S&W M&P because they seem to meet the mil-spec on everything except the barrel twist. I also will probably go with a completely flat top version again as I like the options you have w/o having the front sight fixed on the gas block. My budget is $1,200 including my accessories.
I have looked at Spike's, BCM, RRA, Stag, CMMG and S&W. I want to stick with a company that will be here should I ever need service. Which of these brands would be best?
