.....but the S&W Sport would be good too........
Absolutely. That, also, is an option. Did you buy yours yet?.....but the S&W Sport would be good too........
Sporty, no doubt. Having asked about this brand, I've learned little, but just enough to sway me.no not yet I'm like you prob Dec. Or Jan. And its been down to a WW R16m4a4t and the sporty ..both at academy .
I meant "more" as in it has features I find superior, namely the FF tube and sights. I meant no disrespect by naming those three manufacturers, wasn't a jab at the brands. Purists usually associate those three brands with the platform. Of the three, me choosing, I'd prefer BCM over the others. Weapons made by those who've used them, can't beat that.Well I'm a "Colt/BCM/DD boy" but do think the Sport is a great choice for a rock bottom price AR. Also, I wouldn't consider any others in the ultra-low price range. I do have a S&W M&P-15 lower receiver and they do a nice job, great finish and a nicely flared magwell. I assume the Sport lower is similar except for its integrated trigger guard.
However I recently bought a PSA upper and can recommend it highly. I wouldn't call it MORE than milspec but with its FN barrel and BCG (probably FN BCG, they aren't allowed to say at this time) it's solidly milspec unlike the Sport and many other ARs. It compares well with my DD and BCM (though I don't have a PSA BCG as they were out of stock, so I went with BCM).
Absolutely not! I run rain or shine and have the land to do it. Cold weather is hard on ARs, MO winters in Jan/Feb is the perfect test ground for failure.glad you found something you like! i'm sure you'll be plenty satisfied with the psa. be sure and post a range report when it arrives. it may be december and cold, but that's no excuse.
I agree with this. For 1K there are so many known quality ARs so why take a chance on Windham or trust a few one-of-kind reviews from people you don't know?
And though I'm someone you don't know, I have three ARs based on upper receivers from BCM, Daniel Defense and PSA which came in around $800-1100. BCM and DD of course have impecable reputations. The PSA was the $800 rifle and its specs on paper equal the BCM and DD. I can't tell any difference in operation but then we're back to one-of...
And heck, you can find Colt 6920s for $1047 at Walmart!
Sorry for the ramble but I just can't see paying that much for Windham when you could have BCM or Colt for $50+ more.
Colts not an option. I've specified this.+1 For the colt

I've no experience with that rifle. Fill me in.Apparently the whole thread was not read
My buddy has a PSA middy. I have two words: Exceptional value. And it's the reason I bought my 6.8 middy upper from PSA.
I do have a question: I know it's $400 over your range, but what are your thoughts on the Daniel Defense?
I really don't hate the WW but corners have been cut and it's so new it doesn't have a long track record. Buying one would be like electing a President we know almost nothing about. Oh wait, we did that.... You're right, I wouldn't recommend any other AR whole heartedly in the same price bracket as I would the Sport. Not to say others are bad, but I only stand behind the capabilities of the Sport. But, that PSA is a sweet number, and I feel a lil silly to have abandoned the WW so easily. But, it's not what I'm looking for.

I'm looking at a light profile middy 556 upper from PSA for $299. Slap a BCM gunfighter and auto BCG, buy lower locally. That'd be an option too. I can Frakenstein a rifle with quality stuff under my original spending cap.

I'm thinking about piecing the rifle together.
PSA upper
BCM FA BCG
BCM large latch Gunfighter
Magpul rear MBUS
I'm undecided on a lower...
Due to circumstances, mainly the fiancé wanting a new range toy, the build isn't happening. I'm just going to buy two guns at the same time. I'm going to give Colt a second chance.why not go with a m&p lower....great lowers.....and they look great with that M&P logo on the mag well...
