I am totally new to rifles and have no gun experience in terms of AR15, AK, or any rifle (just some handguns and a Rem 870). I also live in California...so I'm very limited in options.
I tried to do as much research as I can and know that the following brands should be good in terms of reliability, function, and quality of build. But I want to hear from people who have been shooting for awhile and know first hand experience.
This is what I plan to get: DSA lower receiver with DPMS lower parts kit built by a local gun smith. And the reason I'm getting a DSA lower with DPMS lower kit is because that's what the local gun smith builds and I don't feel comfortable enough to built it myself. I will most likely get a Rock Rivers Flattop Upper Receiver. (total price is around $900 without any other accessories).
I plan to only using good ammo (probably only American Eagle / Federal) and will clean and oil after every time I take it to the range since I don't go shooting much.
Under all these circumstances, will this gun be reliable (meaning if I take it out of the closet, load it, I will hear a boom).
Thanks all!!!!!
