So i myelf am an AK guy, but ive been think about getting an AR to start building on...Question is whats a good AR to start with? Not looking for a basic AR but something a lil above basic out the box if taht makes sence..Also a better cal to go with .223 or 5.56? Any insight is appreciated

I was thinkin this to start with....yay or nay? any one on that site u recommend?

I would look at Rock River Arms stuff chambered in 5.56. .223 and 5.56 are the same other than 5.56 can be loaded to produce more chamber pressure, so you can shoot .223 in a 5.56 designated reciever but probably don't wanna do the vice versa... Rock River recievers have the best fitment for the price. It's not gonna be a Noveske, but darn close in fit. I have the S&W MP15t and am very happy with it. Basically Stag Arms recievers with Troy furniture. Can't go wrong with Stag or RRA.

 

AtlanticFirearms is the ****!! my boy Matt works for them & iv known the owner for like 8 years lol ... they just hooked me up with a geat deal on an AK!

I too would like a AR15 now ....

 

rock river arms are
check out there D.E.A model (really pricey but SICK!!!)

i recently sold my bushmaster AR15 M4 (which i liked a lot)
i'm looking into a mp5 soon, preferably the class III mp5k....... s.b.r. with the folding stock. the HK is crazy pricey so i might have to stick with a GSG, Vector, or somthing.

 

Never ordered from em but look at that site all the time, kick *** deals on there....I LOVE AK's but thinkin its time for something different

There are so many model/brand AR's to choose from its insane...dont wanna start builduing something that later turns out to be junk..like to get it done right first time round

Good looking on the input guys

 

if you have the money go with novoske there 8inch barrels shoot 1moa, if not the rock river arms is your best choice. Also u need to consider what caliber you want to be shooting. i feel that 5.56 is a worthless caliber unless your varmint hunting. I have a rock river arms chamber in 6.8 with and eotech and i can tell you that thing is exstreamly accurate and put down deer size game on the spot. hope this helps. some of the caliber include .22, 9mm, .45, 223-5.56, 6.8, .308-ar10, 6.5-long rage, and the .50 beowulf which is sick.

 

Also, as long as you have a .223 lower all you have to do is change the upper reciever and the clip and you have a new gun. this aplies to every caliber except for the .308.

 

I could type some long *** post but check this out instead, it covers alot of ****. Good luck

It is called a magazine, not "clip".

 

That was a lot of help and some understanding to Ar's....After reading through that and a few other things Ive decided to go with Sabre Defence M4Carbine...great platform to build on from what Ive read...found one new for $1150

 

Right on man. The sabre defence carbines are really nice.

 

If you get a chance go to youtube and type in ar15 beowolf its a 50 cal conversoin. Sorry i didnt post im computer retarded.

 

I've had my Beowulf upper on order for a while. Going on a RRA lower with a Timney Trigger.

 

From that link ya posted, he ranked Sabre up there with the best of em, I was thinkin a DPMS until he said they wernt worth speaking of Not only are there a ton of styles and brands to choose from but the quality to look for in that specific brand is nuts too...thanks again for that link, Ive learned a lot from that

 

check out laruetactical.com when you want to start adding stuff to it. they have some nice upper's too

 

Its crazy how much choices and options there are out there. One for every budget or need.

Yea, I personally hate DPMS. Just dont like the parkerizing on them, they look purple lol. Post up pics of what ever you end up getting

 

I'm happy with my LMT Defender and my Smith M&P 15. RR is a nice piece though.

 

4th of July weekend fireworks....

 

magazine...clip... same thing. for the price and fit nothing will beat a rock river arms setup. for fit the colts are supa tight. too tight to mount a different upper on

 

Umm... not to be a dick but they are not the same.

From Wiki
"The term clip is commonly, but erroneously, used to describe a firearm magazine. A clip is used to feed a magazine or revolving cylinder, while a magazine or a belt is used to load cartridges into the chamber of a firearm."

 

I have a BRAND new Bushmastrer 5.56mm-.223 AR-15 for sale w/ papers & box, never fired for $1000
