Howdy! I'd appreciate all input into making this decision. I have under $1k to spend on a ar-15 or m4 or whatever you want to call them now.
The rifles I have looked at and the prices are as follows:
Colt Gov't Carbine $950
DPMS Panther chrome bbl $777
Olympic Arms GI $707
S&W M&P 15 Sport (plastic upper) $599
If you have opinions and more importantly personal experiences owning these guns, and I'm sure most of you do, I'd really appreciate knowing them and helping me make this decision. Suggestions as to any other guns is welcome.
I'm inclined to go with the Colt, simply because all of my Colt's have been great weapons, but the last black rifle I owned was a clone by IMI and it worked flawlessly for many years and cost $750 new back in 1993. I stupidly sold it to a friend who fell in love with it and had a trade I was enamored with so here I am in the market.
