Thanks for everyones input on which first riffle AR15 or AK47.
I've decided to go with an AR15. I'm looking for advice/opinions on which manufacture AR I should buy. I have up to $1500. to spend. I'd like to buy the best quality AR for that amount. My local gun stores don't have many in stock for me to look at, so I might have to order one. I'm planning on going to some gun shows to see which ones look good to me. I want the gun mainly for SHTF and plinking at the range. I'd also like to buy one that gives me options as to what caliber changes I can easily make down the road (I'd like to start with a .223) I've gone onto different websites (DPMS, Bushmaster, Rockriver,Sig,S&W) but I have no idea what the quality or customer service is like. I like Sigs quality for handguns and was looking at the 556. It looks like it hasn't been out too long. Does anyone have any experience with one? I'd probaly rather go with something more "tried and true" for my first AR. I'm hoping to weed out some of the "lesser quality" and problem guns with this post.
Any input and or opinions is much appreciated. Thanks
