Howdy,
Before the incoming Democratic majority, and in the interest of beating the rush, help me build an AR.
Background. It's my first AR. I already have an AK, SKS and various other rifles. This one is to introduce me to the AR design, plinking, range work, possible hunting, and should be able to function in the event of SHTF if needed. I have also decided on the 20inch barrel.
I have decided not to do a kit. Budget is between $800-900 which should get me into a decent quality AR. I have already ruled out a Colt (Nothing against Colt's, but they are out of my price range).
Here's the thought.
1) Bushmaster 20in National Match Heavy Barrel assembly $225 (I am looking to go 1-9 twist)
2) Bushmaster Lower with 6 position stock $360
3) Rock River Forged UTE2 Upper Receiver Assembly $210
4) (Possibly) Bushmaster Two Stage Competition Trigger 127.00 (Takes me slightly out of budget)
I have read extensively here and over at AR15.com but that's the extent of my knowledge and would appreciate any advice or thoughts. Thanks,
