I might go with Bushmaster. I dont know what you want to use it for but Bushy makes a fine rifle and isnt too pricey.

the best ar-15 is the one that someone else owns, because yours keeps jamming.

I would suggest you wait a little bit. Search around here and learn as much as possible and you will get a much better idea of what you want and that type/setup will suit your needs the best. Good luck.

Have you checked out the Limited Edition AR?
You can get more than what you pay for!!!! If you are looking for a good AR at a great price the LE is the way to go. If you're looking for the ultimate AR call Les Baer. |

It all depends on how you will be using the rifle. Unless you are willing to pay around $5000 a full auto is not a option. Most parts in AR-15's are interchangable (the only exception I know of is the pins that join the upper and lower half of the gun are different on Colt rifles). As for the quality they all have their strengths and weak points, but in the end most brands are fairly similar in quality. Look into the limited edition group purchase on this board. If a carbine is what you are looking for this deal would be hard to beat. Good luck.

If you want a good inexpensive AR, then I would have to say go with a Bushmaster. However, if you want the best there is, go with a Colt[:D]
It also has a lot to do with what you are gong to do with it. If you want it for plinking then Bushmaster is your best bet. If you want a long range precision gun then you might want to compile your own. Although my personal favorite is the Colt Govt. Carbine. mattjedi[x] |

Quoted: I have decided to get an AR-15, however, I don't neccesarly nead an early one to do a Full auto... In fact I am after just semi-auto. What Ar/M series is the best... (reliable, parts available) Colt, Olympic... email me with advise? [email protected] FWIW posting in this thread, I recommend that you get yourself "the original" Matel M-16. You'll hate yourself if you don't.[+]:D] Jake |

The best one will "accedently" go off when pointed at at a snibbling anti-gun liberal. You may have to pay LOTS more for it but we will all KNOW you have the best!
JK.... Build it yourself and take pride in your work. It will be the best one for you. |

Well I was in your shoes about 2 months ago.
Now I'm an old seasoned veteran! :-) I got my new Bushy about 3 weeks ago and have put about 400 rds. of various types of ammo through it and haven't found a flaw yet. The only flaw is in my shooting, and I'm slowly getting the hang of it. This is my first aluminum 22 rifle. I've got another stainless 22 (22-250) but that's another story. TF |

Bushmaster without a doubt makes the finest AR available for Quality and Price. You can't beat it!

ABC - stay with Armalite, Bushmaster or Colt.
You'll find more differences in their lines than their quality. If you'll looking for a good rifle get one with a chrome lined and a mil-spec chamber with a good warranty. |

I like my Bushy postban better than my preban Colt. Maybee because it is newer, and was less expensive. I would certainly look into the LEGP weapon offered here. It is a fine weapon, and the price is great.

My first and only AR-15 is a [b]Colt[/b] Match Target Lightweight. It's a 16" barrel, with "shorty" handgaurd. It's accurate and I've never had a problem with it(i.e. jamming/malfunctions). What I don't like about it is that it's foward take-down pin is really a screw, so my rifle folds open for cleaning. It's easier to clean if you can seperate the upper and lower receivers.
My next AR-15 will be a [b]Bushmaster[/b] Dissipator(16" barrel with full length handguard). Maybe someday I'll get a [b]Rock River Arms[/b] CAR A2 with mid-length handguards. I don't like [b]Armalite's[/b] muzzle brakes, so I don't even look at those, but there's nothing wrong with them if you don't mind the muzzle brakes. Here's some links if you didn't already know: [url]http://www.armalite.com/[/url] [url]http://www.colt.com/colt/html/a2g_commrifles.html[/url] [url]http://www.bushmaster.com/shopping/weapons/[/url] [url]http://www.rockriverarms.com/rifles/default.htm[/url] |

Nice pics but my favorite AR I own is a semiauto M-4gery with Knights Rail Interface System, 14.5" bbl w/ vortex. Also like my AK-74 a lot - though I'm not a big AK fan.
