I got a good deal on the SIG M400 Enhanced from Wally Mart.



I topped it with a BURRIS AR-332


So far I'm not crazy about the BURRIS, I'd take it back to Cabelas almost.  Wish I had saved my pennies and put on a Leupold.
It does work ok though, I'm just not crazy about it.

The iron sights are awesome, I was impressed you can shoot a pretty tight group with them out to 100yrds.
I had 5 shots I could just about cover with a softball @ 100yds.


With junk ammo I shoot a 3" group @ 100 yds

With Hornady Supermax 55gr I shoot a 1 inch group @ 100yds - but with a flyer now and then.

I'm not sure if it's me or the gun cause that trigger is tough to squeeze off a tight group.

My biggest complaint with this weapon is the gritty trigger, I've greased it up too.  It is getting better though.

So far I got 100 rounds'ish down the tube with mixed ammo and not a single misfire or stovepipe - every round has went bang.
Also this is with 6 new and mixed 30 round p-mags.

I'll take that anyday of the week

The Sig 400 Enhanced is a great deal at 900.00 and it has the right twist. Took these makers long enough to figure out that 9 twist SUCK!

Black Hole Weaponry's storefront is at High Mountain in Wenatchee along with central Washingtons largest supply of AR components, including matched billet uppers/lowers from Black Rain ordinance, Spikes, Mega etc. PM me with parts list and will quote it for you if interested!

My part list would be every part to make a complete gun

Cabelas has a Smith & Wesson M&P™ Sport AR-15 Rifle for $729.....which one would be better to start out with?

Either one for a starter AR. These guys will go on and on about how good or crappy an AR is. Go with your gut and what YOU want.

When you get around to a flash suppressor you should check these out. B.E. Meyers Flash Hiders | 5.56, 7.62 & .50 Cal | adsinc.com
They are available at http://www.weaponoutfitters.com/ Both companies are based here in Washington state.. or should i say the west side...

I'd buy a new one, I was in the same boat a month ago.

If I were building rifles then it'd be a no brainer, I'd get out the box of spare parts and start making another one and ordering the stuff I didn't have.

But I had no spare parts, nothing lying around.  I'd have to buy everying from mags to sights. 

My only advice is to go to a bunch of stores and fondle as many AR's as you can get your grubby fingers on.
Then you'll start seeing features you gotta have.


You'll have a box of parts soon enough, so build your #2 gun if you decide AR's are  your thing.
Also, I think a factory made AR would sell better than a homebuilt one from spare parts too.  Maybe not to an AR guy but to the average schmuck who wants an AR.


If I advertised SIG SAUER M400 Enhanced factory spec rifle with BURRIS AR-332.
or
Home built AR with this, that, the other thing and some of this spec list......


which would sell better?

Get the base gun and go from there.

I put alittle over 2k into mine. Match grade barrel rifle lenght gas system, brake/comp, yhm bolt carrier group, fancy trigger....  it all adds up but in the end, the rifle flat out shoots. All I have to do is get behind it and do my job. Chew cans at 300 yards are a cake walk but I haven't played past that.
