[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2646743, member: 42"] You are overthinking this. While they can be made so, basic ARs are not a precision platform, they are an infantry tool. Buy a reasonably priced AR from any reputable manufacturer, buy a bunch of ammo and shoot the piss out of the rifle. Learn how to take it apart and put it back together. Then go shoot some more. Start with fundamentals of marksmanship and build from there. If you want to "train for the Army", get something close to the mil design (hint: issue rifles don't have folding front sights). Learn the proper nomenclature of all the parts and memorize the "Army" method of field stripping and function checking. That will do you better in Basic than learning how to shoot it will. [/QUOTE]
