Given, the current prices and supply and demand, I think it might be a good time to get my first AR-15. I'm looking for the best bang for the buck. I want it to be as authentic/conventional to the design as possible. I'm thinking about a bushmaster QRC, Smith and Wesson M&P Sport II, Palmetto State Armory Freedom. I think I'm ruling out the Ruger AR-556, because I was told it's not as authentic, certain parts won't interchange from other brands? I don't know, again this will be my first AR15. I'm only interested in a brand new, fully assembled rifle. Given, I never had an AR-15 before, I don't want to attempt to assemble one together at this time.
Are there any other brands and models that are more authentic and a better value than the 3 AR's I mentioned?
Warranty is pretty important. I leaning towards the S&W because of the lifetime warranty. Bushmaster has a 1 year warranty and I don't know about PSA.
Which of the 3 I mentioned would you choose? Or would you choose none of them and you suggest a better option?
Thanks in advance.
