Slugger Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I am considering buying an AR and have been looking at them online but really have no clue as for which ones are better than others. I mean theres armalite, fulton, bushmaster, colt, clark, lesbaur, RRA, dpms and the list goes on and on. well to get to my question does anyone have experience with different brands of ar's and is there much of a quality difference between these brands, anyway thanks in advance for any info you can give me.

johnf Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Re: ar-15 questions I had some experience with an armalite a few years back and really enjoyed it and had no problems with reliability or accuracy. It's been a long time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Re: ar-15 questions With Colt, you are paying for the name. Its no better quality than anything else, but it has the horse stamped on it, so it costs more. Armalite has always had a good reputation for decent quality guns. Bushmaster has been spotty. I have read a bit of bad info on them. DPMS seems to be a decent gun. The semi custom stuff from Rock River, Les Baer, Clark, SSK, and others, is just that, semi custom to custom. The quality is higher than what is mass produced at the factory. I have a cluge gun that is made up of a Colt National Match lower and a JP Enterprise upper. It shoots extremely well and will give most bolt rifles a spanking when it comes to accuracy. I suggest you check out this website. There is a lot of info on that site.

mule659 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Re: ar-15 questions I would suggest looking into rock river arms. They have some great deals and quality firearms. I have shot many different models from many brands and rock river is among the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ousoonerfan22 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Re: ar-15 questions Can you buy one of these guns for under a $1000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Re: ar-15 questions [ QUOTE ] Can you buy one of these guns for under a $1000? [/ QUOTE ] Sure, it depends on what you want. You can get a varmint type flat top from DPMS for under a grand. The more bells and whistles you want add to the price. Chek out DPMS, Bushmaster, Armalite, Rock River Arms Do some shopping and see what you can get. You can probably pick up a used version for a great price.
