ive been looking into ARs and wanted to ask a few questions before i get started
first is as the title said should i build or buy an AR rifle?
i want it to be .223/5.56 collapsable buttstock quad rail flat top an M4 clone more or less
i dont think ill be competing with this rifle but i will train with it and expect it to function well with good accuracy
would there be a nice rifle already available in my 900-1200 price range?
mind you my price range is without accessories so just the rifle complete with quad rail and collapsable buttstock but nothing else
i can go higher but unless its needed i dont want to
ive looked into DPMS Stag and Armalite
am i overlooking a better brand? (dont say colt it isnt gonna happen)
is there anything i should know about these brands before i look further?
what about building my own?
who makes the better parts?
what would/have you used to build yours?
lastly i saw a modular lower with detatchable magwells this seems like a bad idea but maybe i dont know which one is shinola
thanks in advance
forgot to add one more question im looking at getting a tax stamp for an SBR if i do this for an AR am i still able to use the different uppers (various legal sizes) or will it always have to "wear" the SBR upper?
