I know next to nothing about Ar's, so what suggestions do you have as far as manufacturer, options, dealers in the not to distant gallaxy, and in the mid price range. I don't want a cheapo, but I don't need it to be top of the line either. I would like good accuracy, and reliability to be the top priorities.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Do you want to buy a complete AR (pre-assembled), buy a complete lower/complete upper (minor assembly), or build one from scratch?
Shyda's in Lebanon had a good stock of them last Saturday. different price ranges. Was up there looking for a new M4.
Too much damned arthritis in my finners to try a build anymore

Even though I am very mechanically inclined, I want a complete, ready to shoot, AR. Pennsy built one from a lower/upper, and saved about $200.00, he said, but I just want a complete weapon, and I can always customize it later, if I can still get parts, after the election.
edstephan, thanks for the links, I will check them out.
Yesterday at Shyda's Gun Shop the prices have gone up about 20% from last weekend...
Mikey, you can always go over to Topton. Randy has a few left, and I am sure they are good ones. And if you want to build one, it takes about an hour to put together a lower. And that is if you are talking with someone else instead of concentrating on the job at hand.

I'm thinking of going on tuesday (VETERANS DAY), since I have off from work. It will be a nice present to myself, for being a veteran. How fitting is that??!! If Bill plays his cards right, I may let him ride along.
checking smiley tags due to some recent changes ~gnbrotz

prices arent bad that i can tell..
i will be waiting though, i think i might get me a M&P .45 soon though
I built my first AR with parts ordered from Model 1 sales, as well as G.I. parts I picked up over the years. When ordered from Model 1 in Aug.08 everything arrived in about a week. Ordered complete kit for 2nd AR on 29 Dec. 08 (AFTER ELECTION), still have not received it. It took about 3 months to get lower receiver from local gunshop. Prices for Model1 are reasonable, I think.
