I build a lot of AR's and you get what you pay for. Yes you can build one for 500.00. But the chance that it will shoot good is not very good. Pay a little more for a good barrel and trigger and you will have one your happy with.

A few I built.

Stag Arms have some of the better guns already built IMO.

I recently purchased a Ruger AR 556 for $670. It is considered an entry level AR and has good reviews. I also like Ruger.

I have an m&p sport 1. It will shoot anything you put through it. It has been very reliable however, I have not found an ammo that will shoot moa at 100 yet.


If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.

Windham also makes very good ARs and mine will shoot 1 moa or less with my loads. I think i paid 7-800 bucks for it at walmart before they went all commie. It is the optics ready carbine. I swapped to freefloat handguards and trigger. You can take a parts kit rifle and buy a good barrel and decent trigger and make any of them do the same thing. My most accurate AR is a bushmaster predator carbine. I changed out the handguard and its stock otherwise. Last load i worked up was a .4" 5 shot group with 60 gr nosler BT.

Well I did it... went with the Ruger 556. Looked into putting one together but would have paid more. Picked this one up with the free float hand guard for 569 at the local sporting goods store. Fired it, love it. I see more of these in my future.

I will add more of my experience with it in the near future if sprungrusty still needs help making a decision.

while plastic the Magpul MBUS sight actually works quite well running them haven't shot past 200 with them however

Magpul also makes them in steel and as 45* offset

if you are going to run a magnified optic then a 45* offset would make a faster backup


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
