Best AR for the money

[Jason Freeland]

Love me some PSA, especially since they came out with the Sabre line. Haven't bought one since I built my own, but they look nice.

You should really watch some of the videos on YouTube from School of The American Rifle. Chad provides some good educational information on the AR-15 platform and what to look for when buying a rifle or carbine.

Bring out the charts!!! With scribbles

 

[Shooflyreed]

Not sure I understand - if you concentrating on home defense and it seems the distances are only 25 - 50 yards, would a pistol caliber carbine be a good option? Isn't 9 mm still cheaper than 223? Maybe this is a question for another post?

 

[JEVapa]

I don't think a pistol round can compete with a rifle round for ballistics. At all. I also wouldn't be concerned about cheap if its primary use in home defense.
PCCs are neat and I have one and would use it in a house, and it would certainly do the trick (especially given good ammo), but my rifle is a better choice and would be what I grab. Really, I'd grab whatever's available so I stash lethality all over the house.

BCM, Geissele, DD. All can be had for under 2k, some closer to 1. That is really not that expensive, instead of a $500 weapon just save a tad bit longer and get something that is proven. You can say all you want about PSA, they are great for the range, none of them are proven.

I’m a fan of this part and that part until I have what I want. I don’t own a single factory built AR15.

My SBR has a Anderson lower, good mil spec parts kit with a polished trigger, Magpul furniture and a 11.5” BCM upper.

I have a 17 designs lower, built with a primary arms random lpk without fcg, a larue 2 stage trigger, magpul furniture, BCM MKII buffer system, A2 upper with a 13.7” solgw barrel, Anderson bcg, and a A2 fsp. This gun is a awesome shooter.

I also have a M&Dibs upper and lower that’s got a PSA 2 stage trigger, spikes bcg, diamondback 13.9” barrel, BCM quad rail and B5 furniture. It’s also a damn fine shooter

Point is, sometimes even factory guns end up parted out and re built buy what you think you’ll use and run it till you find what ya like.

Old wives tale look what they have taken to war all over the world. what you all would call dime store guns. just don't add up. SKS probably maybe $50 to produce take it to battle any day over any rifle.. shoulder fired that is.and for sure over any AR..
