AR's for the liberals

[dblungshot]

After listening to the liberals and seeing their crazy reasons of ridding AR's or guns altogether I'd like to gear up with the best but need your help.  I'm an archery guy who has little to no knowledge of AR's.  Price is not a concern. I'm not paranoid id just rather be prepared than scramble.  I'm tired of hearing these talks and seeing how out of control these homeland terrorists are gaining momentum.

What's the best AR...light, powerful, lots of options, good caliber,  etc...

I'm new to the ar game as well. I did a lot of research(Internet) and it seems like you really can't go wrong with any particular manufacturer. It seemed like the best deal for any entry level ar was the ruger ar556 or the mp sport 2. I keep encouraging everyone I know to get an ar while they can.

At this point, any and all will be good. www.gungenie.com is a really good place to buy one and have it shipped to your local FFL dealer.

I can't remember the maker right now (S&W?), but there is an AR-10 lower that will take an adapter to use AR-15 uppers/mags/buffer springs.  So you can switch back and forth.

Any big name manufacturer is fine, e.g., Ruger, S&W, Bushmaster, Remington, etc. for a basic AR. Colt is generally more pricey.   Big money comes in when looking at special barrels, bolts and carriers, triggers, rail systems, and so on, which are all above and beyond needs for a basic AR, or on all the boutique maker names with "combat" or "tactical" in their names.  Those boutiques may pay more attention to detail in materials and workmanship, but for a basic AR, you could buy two or more for what they are charging.

While you are at it, get a six pack of forged lower receivers, the serialized firearm bit.  ARs multiply, and they go for insane prices when panic buying hits.

^ that.

You can spend A LOT of money on a nice AR and get a nice gun for the money.. that wasn't wisely spent. You probably don't need a stainless barrel and a lot of other match grade components. I'd go with a cheapie from a decently reputable manufacturer and add accessories as needed. Consider picking up a couple of lower receivers for $100, which is technically and legally the gun and you can build it up later with just parts. This would grandfather you in if Killary or Gun Ban Donald (sorry, couldn't help myself) succeed in advancing their big gobmint agenda.

I saw some ARs going for $500ish about six months ago. Not sure what they're going for now. Spend less, and buy ammo. Buy a lifetime supply of ammo. Now. I've bought from Cabelas, Natches SS, and Ammoman.com for the better deals and prices. I'd probably check ammoman first. Get at least 3,000 rounds of brass cased, new manufacture and save it all. Buy about a dozen 30 round magazines, as well.

AR's are good, the corrupt DEMOCRAT government isn't...

Good luck people.

Seems like people don't want to spend money for you, I will! You said price wasn't a concern, that means I would look at knights armament, larue, noveske, maybe pof, then the rest of the mainstream brands in that order. You can always swap triggers (geissele) and add a scope later. Also be sure to stock up on 30 round pmags. I have a few high end AR'S and it's night and day on which ones get shot vs stay in the safe. There's a reason they cost what they do.

thanks.  Glad you stepped up
it seems ARs are more of a functionality approach than looks.  Unlike a shotgun or fancy rifle where you're reluctant to see it slide off a rock or go through brush without stressing over a scratch, the ARs seem to all look similar and not very romantic comparing to the latter.

With that said I'm with you on spending $ to get better performance if in deed there is a huge difference.  I only want one so I'd rather spend the $.

I am also new to the ar game.   Just bought one Sunday.  $499.00 at coastal.   Anderson Arms.  I stayed on the cheaper side knowing i can do upgrades later on.   Glad the op did this i can tag along.
