In y'alls opinion, what would be a good AR to start out with? I want a good quality gun, but I'm trying to keep my price range below a thousand bucks.
My first few AR's were DPMS, and we are issued DPMS rifles for patrol rifles at my work. I've never had problems with any of them.mike_honcho87 said:Does anyone have any experience with DPMS?
I want to get a good a good understanding of how they're put together and how they function. When I do I wanna build my own, but for now I'm looking for a good starter.Trotac said:My first few AR's were DPMS, and we are issued DPMS rifles for patrol rifles at my work.

With that said, I have done enough research and looking, and I will be sticking with the proven, real mil-spec guns (Colt, Daniel Defense, BCM, LaRue, Noveske) from here on out. I think it is worth the extra couple of hundred bucks for the better materials and the testing done on those materials if it is a rifle I might need for a "serious use" one day.
I hope to have my tax refund BCM build complete within the month, and it will come in at less than $1K. Wal-Mart is now selling Colt 6920's (the military M4) for $1069 too.
My gun shop down the road has their base model for a little over $600.Webphisher said:I've heard good things about DPMS, only bad thing I've heard is they are backordered like mad lol.
