What do you guys think about a Colt??

LPfishnTIM 03-14-2011 09:01 PM

had a DPMS and it was crap!, I can build you one if you buy a stripped lower and a rifle kit. in all it would cost $675, If I was gonna buy one, it would be a STAG or Sabre Defense.

not MilSpec parts don't interchange if you buy an ar buy one that is chambered for 5.56/.223 not one or the other, buy one that shoots both. something to think about before you buy one.

powell4570 03-17-2011 08:52 PM

Bushmaster or Colt are the best.

DPMS bolt parts and extractor is cheap, I bought bushmaster extractor upgrade kit and took some locktite to the carrier key to keep the screws from backing out while firing, causing failure to extract. I had a gun that I got tired of buying DPMS parts that needed changing every 200 rounds and upgraded with Bushmaster parts so that it was more reliable, I cleaned the gun after every time I fired it.

kgrimes64 08-18-2011 05:38 PM

lewis machine and tool or larue will kick anyones *** in accuracy and if you want the best recoil ive ever felt in a rifle check out the scar. just bought the 17s and the recoil feels like im shooting a .223 the lmt my buddy has drives tacks at 200 yds its amazing

Kenner18 08-18-2011 06:48 PM

Rock river arms makes a hell of a gun...my dad has an entry tactical with an eotech, flashlight, and something else...badass gun. Shot 1.5" groups at 100ft freehand out of the box. Nice gun, and I highly recommend rockriver arms

evis102 08-18-2011 11:02 PM

What are you going to use it for?

evis102 08-19-2011 05:23 AM

Also how much do you want to spend?

CajunRebel 08-21-2011 04:40 PM

AR-15
 
Evis102 is absolutely correct. Not to be a smartass, but do you walk in to a dealer and say I want an automobile. What are his first questions? What's your budget, for what do you want to use it, accessories, etc.? All this questions will determine stock, forearm, trigger, sights, etc.

LPfishnTIM - AR15 with 5.56mm specs will shoot .223, not vice versa.

Since you appear to be a novice I would take LPfishnTIM on his generous offer, but have him show you how to assemble. That is a good way to know your weapon. Please, don't put a $29 red-dot or $39 scope and expect to have a target-grade rifle. And you don't need to buy a Swarowski scope but buy decent equipment or wait until you can.

thats right thanks for clarifing, also you can buy a vise block for assembly and a few tools and look up how to assemble the lower on youtube I have a friend building them right now he learned with youtube and a assembly manuel. you can look everything up on brownells. and as far as the cheap red dots they suck, relflex sight are good, I like the C-more, eotech, and trijicon. but they cost $$$. I don't know much about scopes but a 3x magnifier with a reflex sight is a sweet set up, especially on an ar.

SULPHITE 08-21-2011 06:30 PM

primary arms red dot, vortex, bushnell, burris

eotech trijicon are frickin outrageous...

ncstar poo

LPfishnTIM 08-21-2011 06:37 PM

eotech are out rageously expensive, but if the glass ever breaks and there is half the glass left it will somehow, supposively still reflect an accurate sight? I liked the c-more and bought one because it had the rear sight built on and I didn't have to buy a back up rear sight, which is recommended just incase the battery or reflex breaks or somehow loses accuracy.
