Question about AR's

[tRidiot]

I just had an AR built in all RRA. I think it was a good choice. Good quality, reliable, not too expensive. I think it's a good all-around rifle.

I just build a Spikes Tactical Upper and lower 16" m4 rifle combo w/ magpul moe furniture for $820. Very happy with it!

Out of the box DPMS has a good rifle for the price. The S&W has a good trigger from what I have seen. lOKI is local.there are some really cheap options but that only saves a hundred or two. But don't go crazy with $ until you shoot some. This advice is worth exactly $.02.

It really depends on what you want. Some manufacturers have better deals than others based on whether you want a 20" A2 style rifle or a stripped 'bare bones' rifle for you to mod. In my opinion Smith makes a great AR that is readily available in the Tulsa area.

The factory S&W I had had a smooth, glass like trigger feel, FWIW. Nothing wrong with a nice RRA, or Bushmaster. One of my ARs is part Bushmaster. You can throw one together cheap. Lots of guys on here are glad to help.

Recommend buying a kit and assembling from Palmetto State Armory.

High quality stuff at some fantastic prices.

I would stick with Palmetto State Armory(Commonly referred to as PSA), Spike's Tactical, or Rock River Arms(RRA), or Stag Arms.

These are all good brands that will last a very long time as long as you take care of them and will not break the bank. Sure you can get a Delton, DPMS, Bushmaster, or S&W M&P Sport for cheaper, but it's not the route I'd go. I am of the "buy once cry once" mentality. Many have DPMS, Bush, etc rifles that have served them well but when you can spend a little more and be into what I consider the next "Tier" of rifles it makes no sense to go entry level. Not to mention if you decide the AR craze is not for you the higher end rifles will retain their values better than the lower end makes.

Stag and Rock River are both great entry level ARs. As a matter of fact, I think you could get either and never have to worry about "upgrading". ...and Stag makes a left hand AR, so you're not limited by how you prefer to shoot. Being a lefty, though, I'd still recommend you get a standard right hand AR.

Where is a good place to buy Rock River Arms parts if I want to assemble a compete RRA rifle? How much could I save going this route? Or would I be better to just buy a fully assembled rifle? Speaking in terms of cost.

Their official website, do a web search, and I've always found awesome deals at Joe Bob Outfitters. Retired vet based gun shop in Hays, Kansas. Nice guy
