My base gun is going to be a Smith and Wesson M&P 15 ORC 5.56/223 30+1. This gun is optics ready and the front site has been replaced with a gas block. I am hoping to buy it for around $800 and then put another $1000 into it. My neighbor is an ex West Pointer and tested weapons for his units - and he swears this is the way to go if you're interested in an AR.
I will post pics throughout my build once I get my hands on the gun.
As part of my deal, I am also buying a H&K/Umarex HK416 .22 Tactical. For those that haven't seen em they are saweeet!!

just be very careful about doing the sale off of gunbroker. If the transaction goes bad,Gunbroker cant help you. I did something similar on g/b. about a year or so back, when the scare of the assault rifles might get banned. I found a dpms sass 308 that I wanted. The guy supposedly had some coming in that week. Wired him the money to order it(didnt go through g/b site) Long story short, went several months,no gun,then found out the company went bankrupt. Alot of $$$$$ down the poop chute!!!!!
Man just re-opened an old wound. I got bad feelings coming up all over me again!!!!
