After a couple years holding out for graduate school to end and the cashflow to start back up again, I'm looking for my first AR15/M4. First, thanks guys that posted on the recent AR15 pic thread, that sealed the deal for me; those were absolutely beautiful.
However, I am a bit in the dark about all the options. To exemplify my ignorance... what's the difference between an AR and an M4? For the life of me can't figure it out. Yes, starting this thread out strong...
Maybe the best way to answer alot of this would be to direct me somewhere I can read up on the topic, figure out what's out there. No use making y'all do all the work for me. So if someone can point me to a good AR infostation I can read about it.
I know this isn't one of those topics I can just ask "hey, which is the best option out there", but people's opinions would still be appreciated. This is a first for me, and I like getting things started on a fairly high-quality note. So in the sub-$1500, what are the best option's I have?
Also, I would love to get my hands on a .308, but getting that in an AR, does that kinda defeat the purpose for a lightweight controllable gun?
Thanks
