oo_buck Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Don't have a good reason other than I can't quit thinking about owning one. That's really all the reason I need. Here's what I want Flat Top 16" Barrel 6 position collapsable stock About 300 linear feet of picatinny rail 3 or 4 30rnd mags. Under $900...... preferably way under... I know I'm dreaming on the price, but If I could get ahold of one that looks just like the Smith & Wesson M&P15T I'd be sooooooo satisfied. What brands should I look for, and what ones should I avoid. Armalite Bushmaster DPMS Rock River Olympic Buck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 About 300 linear feet of picatinny rail 300 linear feet? -------------------------------- Your price range can be done with some prudent spending. Start with a DPMS LoPro Classic, add a collapsable stock and a free float tube with the rails. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=78595308 hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [email protected] Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I picked up a bushmaster for under 800, I had bushmaster in the Military so I know to trust this brand. The down side of the AR is that it bring the Gas into the Breach, this means lots of cleaning, any body been in the Army/Marine corps will tell you that. I some time had to clean my rifle 2-3 times a day. There is a version of the AR I know bushmaster make one, which is piston driven, that the one to get, but it cost more. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Got a rock river varmint model here with a 20 inch barrel. Been very happy with it. Might check with RB Precision on their prices, they can get hard to get rifles and have good pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaCoyote Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Rethink the 16 inch barrel. They are EXTREMELY loud. I'd never go under 20". Believe me 4" makes a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Charlie_in_TX Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 As you described the AR of your dreams, it is tech a CAR (carbine). I bought a DPMS CAR (minus about 299ft of rail ). It came with a case, 2 30rnd mags, cleaning kit and a few other things. If I recall it was in the $640 range. I built (really assembled) a similar gun in 6.8SPC. They are incredibly easy to piece together. It was also a CAR. Cost about $500 but didn't include mags, case etc. Try http://www.ar15.com/ for any help you need to build your own.

mjbmxz Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Do they make 5 or 10rd magazines for AR's. I ask because I believe in WI they have a maximum of how many rounds our hunting guns can hold (8 I think), but don't quote me. Also think it would be nice having a smaller mag. for going through the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I picked up a Stag Arms lower a few weeks ago and I paid $249+tax. I'm sure you can do better outside of NY. You can also buy the upper without paperwork and shop it real good. Start with the receiver and go from there. That will require a 4473 to fill out at your gun dealer. Uppers can be bought online and thru the mail and can go from $400-$1500. Here are a few suggestions; http://www.lewismachine.net/ http://www.tangodown.com/index.html http://www.rockriverarms.com/ http://www.stagarms.com/ and a source for 5 round AR mags for hunting with. http://www.mwgco.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?page=MWG/PROD/AR-15_MAGAZINES/MWG-223-005 Good Luck whatever you choose.
