AR madness

i wouldnt necesarrily call ruger a bad company....they jsut have thier priorities all fuked up thats all

 

The one I'd go for is the Colt 6920. As close to MilSpec as you can get and the best resale value. But more expensive that the others except for the boutique brands.

AR's come in so many flavors...hard to pick one.
RockRiver Varmint comes with a competition-quality two-stage trigger, free float handguard, 1/8 twist and excellent quality.
My choice.

 

I like Armalite and Rock River. I would also like to play with one of the new S&Ws.

 

Of those listed, I'd get the Colt or *other* (LMT, Noveske, Charles Daily,...)

 

My builds are Rock River 5.56mm

 

I built a nice Stag Arms, but Rock River is kickass. I stayed away from Colt because of their use of proprietary parts. Not sure if someone else mentioned this, but the poll mentions 5.56 NATO, .223 and the AR-10. I would love an AR-10, which shoots a .308, though they're expensive and hard to find.

So, 5.56/.223 would be Rock River as my #1 pick. For the AR-10 .308, whatever brand makes them is fine with me!

 

good luck finding a colt, im pretty sure they are military issue only now. unless you can find a good used one.
if your on a budget, dpms sells a bottom of the line for just under 1k.

for a .308 I would go with a non AR platform. Ive got a remington 700 heavy barrel .308 and that thing is a tack driver

 

Yeah, not to bash a previous post, but you most likely won't find a good AR-15 for $600, even if you build it yourself. AR-10's are going for over $1,000 now, and the price of ammunition almost makes it not worth having.

 

This would be nice if its available to civillians. at lease just the upper.

 

I have the Bushmaster carbon m4 flat top it's ok I would like a new one for target shoting the short barrel I have Is not good for distance.

 

I've got a LRB mid length build going on right now. Here are the specs:

LRB stripped upper/lower
E.R. Shaw 16' barrel 5.56 1:9
Colt BCG
CAR Buttstock
Magpul MOE grip
RRA LPK, random UPK
YHM 12" FF Forearm
YHM lo pro gas block
YHM flip up front sight/BUIS
Smith Vortex FH

I will post pics as soon as its finished

 

6920's are everywhere...and people seem willing to pay a $400 premium to own one.
You can get quality for well under a grand.

It has been a great gun and very reliable.

 

The Colt 6920 is great. If you can find one and pay 200-300 more than other ARs.

 

This has been beaten to death a thefiringline and AR15.com
I own exactly 0 Colts...and it's not because I can't afford them.
