After being bent over by the IRS this year, my plans all got thrown out the window, but I will end up with about a grand. A far sight from the nearly 9k I was expecting, but it is what it is. The consolation here is that the wife said I can do with it as I please, and I've been itching to get an AR-15 for years.
I'm fluent in the M-16, but with the explosion of the AR market, I'm at a loss as to where to start.
What I would like is a full size AR-15 rifle, with the adjustable M-4 style stock, flat top/ railed A3 style upper, iron sights, and not much more. I'll do all my further accessorizing later on.
I'm pretty adept with the rifle, so I've considered buying the bits and pieces and assembling it on my own, but this being my first AR, I'm more inclined to get a ready made rifle. Or at the very least, a ready made upper and ready made lower and slap them together.
But... I'm a bit overwhelmed.
Too many darn choices. :banghead:
So I'd like to hear the AR-15 owners sound off. Brands, prices, etc.
I'll have a grand, but I'd like to keep it in the $800 range, +/- $100. It's a pretty standard agreement that when I get a new gun, the wife gets a new shiny also.
