Quote HistoryQuoted: Doesn't mean there aren't a million better options out there now. 6920 is fine and dandy but I'd rather spend that money on a psa lower and one of their FN barreled, geissele handguard 14.7" uppers. |

Its your money... By all means, spend it anyway you like. 
Also, im a huge fan of a basic M4/6920 type rifle with a KAC ras, light, IR laser and aimpoint dot. Simple = good. |

Very interesting thread. With little experience or knowledge, I`ve been looking at a second AR. I`ve pretty much boiled it down to a LaRue Predator 5.56 16" UU Kit with a LaRue billet lower or a DDm4 V7 SLW. From what I have found, the Larue option runs $1090 and the DD $1450 with the DD being a little over a half pound lighter. I like the lighter weight of the DD, but it`s not like I`m going to be carrying it for miles at a time, so I guess it isn`t a huge issue.
What it comes down to for me is reliability, accuracy and durabiltity, with customer service and warranty being thrown in for good measure. I`m pretty much ready to pull the trigger one way or the other. I`m probably leaning towards the LaRue, but I would be very interested in hearing the opinions of others. |

Sounds like we’re in the same boat. I looked at the same options and a few others, Larue seems best bang for the buck.

with that budget i'd get a KAC SR-15 upper and a Radian or LMT lower.
11.5 with red dot or 14.5 with LVPO. SSP or SSA-E trigger. |

Centurion Arms would be my choice.
I own BCM, LaRue, Sig, Colt, Noveske.... but my Centurion is my choice for my work gun. 12.5 Centurion  Attached File |

I have a LaRue UU built onto a PSA lower. The quality, fit, and finish of the UU kit is superb; it's an absolute steal at $792. It has been very reliable, durable, and accurate. If someone is willing and able to build instead of buy, I always recommend the UU kit built onto the lower of their choice. |

No matter what else you get you are going to want to invest in a high quality trigger.
A Velocity AR Trigger for $134.95 or if you are looking for more style the Velocity MPC Trigger for $174.95 |

Wound up going the same route. LaRue UU on a Aero lower. With the complete upper + lower parts kit included it was just too good to pass up.

Buy a BCM, Spikes, DD, LMT, KAC, or a Midwest industries rifle. Buy an Aimpoint pro and a Surefire M600. Then buy 10 Pmags and 1k rounds of XM193 and have fun!

As a follow up, went with a Larue UU (5.56, 16” stealth barrel) and AERO lower. Still on the fence with optics but trying the swampfox. At the price (and warranty) it’s worth a shot. Only 200ish rounds thru but so far no complaints.

Nice setup!
Real question though is how much is left in the budget for people to throw more recommendations at? haha |

In for the responses. In a similar situation with the exact same budget. Just bought a razor and mount though so I’m down to about $1,800

Quote HistoryQuoted: Larue Ultimate Upper, add the billet lower. Then spend the balance of your budget on glass.  I just finished one of the Larue UU kits and it is by far an outstanding rifle for the $1020 I have invested. |

Had the same budget and just pieced it together. Wanted ambi features. Went with a 14.5 ADM upper with Criterion barrel, ADM stripped lower with a geissele sde trigger and a5 buffer system. Glass sitting on top is a razor 1-6 in a geissele mount.

Im considering ordering a similar set up. |

KAC or scar. You’d have to buy scar used to stay in budget and still get it running how it was designed (Geissele trigger) but the KAC should rip right out of the box.
