I am in the market finally for an AR! Yes, finally I have the money! The reason I am posting is to get a little feedback from you AR owners. Here is what I am noticing with the 2 I looked at at the local gun shop. They are not very rigid. Meaning, when shaked I am hearing what sounds like a can full of lincoln logs! What are some more rigid platforms? Are there any special rubber pads or such items to quite certain areas of the weapon? Obviously, some brands are better than others. I am extremely interested in Rock River, but there are none in stock locally to look at. I have heard great things about the Bushmaster Varminter series as well for their accuracy, but again cannot find one locally to handle and play with a little. Man I'm excited, but I'm not going to jump the gun and get one i'm half way satisfied with! Any Info appreciated much!!
Thanks in advance guys!!!!
there is a rubber pad to stop the movement between the upper and the lower and it's a easy fix, RRA and Bushmaster are great ARs and you can go with any of them but they also offer a wide range of setups, A1, A2, A3/A4, M4gray, Mid-lenght, Full-lenght, Varmints....
first, we would like to know what you want to do with the rifle... Varmint hunting, Target shooting, SHTF, Home defence, or an all around rifle, that way we can point you in the right setup, as for optics, stocks, trigger, barrels, and other important stuff, there are too many accessories for an AR but you dont need them all, just what your setup need.
so, tell us what are your plans with the rifle and what you want to do with it. like are you going to hunt? you want to mount a scope or a reddot? do you want to use the irons sight and not batteries? at what distance you want to shoot? are you going to carry that rifle for a long time? do you want a fixed stock like the M16 or a collapsible stock like a M4? in general what's the purpose of the rifle?
