Check out the CA hometown section. Your state has its own set of rules for AR15 ownership, and your options are limited.

I know how you feel. I bought my first AR 3 years ago and I was only 20. They are EXPENSIVE for us poor students. I bought a Bushmaster from AIM Surplus. The prices have gone up(obvisouly) since I bought mine, but they had some of the cheapest prices at a time. I am currently building my first AR. I'm already too far in to start over on this but I think my next AR will be from Model 1 Sales. You can find a stripped lower for $130 or so and then buy one of their Varmit rifle kits for $510 + s/h. Thats only Around $650-$700. Maybe that would be a good option. There is a how-to posted in the Build It Yourself section that shows how to assemble the lower parts and their uppers are already assembled.
Something to think about. Welcome to the site and I hope you are able to find exactly what you want.  ETA: Model 1 Sales |

thanks olboy! y our link isnt working though.
is it cheaper to build a gun than to buy one? because i know bushmaster sells the top half of their varminter gun for like 400... and i can get a lower half for like 2-300 and pop those suckers together! then im happy with that. how hard is the project? |

Armalite, bushmaster, and colt are all OLD but proven, well built designs.
I'd go with a Bushmaster though, personally. |

Ohhh, since you are in WA you are good to go. So if your budget mandates an OLY at this time, than get an OLY. Anything is better than nothing despite what the Kool-Aid drinkers may say. I have new OLYs amongst my flock of EBRs and have no complaints with any of them. The OLYs would make a good budget minded starter and they do have a lifetime warranty, so buy it, be happy with your purchase, and shoot the hell out of it.

Just get a new Oly "Plinker Plus". Mine never had any issues (eating Wolf ammo its entire life at that). Just make shure its the Plus, the trouble-models where pre-plus's from what I heard (they used cast parts instead of forged parts).

You can buy a complete Stag lower for around $200 from www.eaglefirearms.net, stock included.
Then toss on the upper of your choice, and you're set. Unfortunately, most folks carrying Stag lowers are backordered now due to a loophole in CA law which has shooters there scrambling to buy certain brands of receivers, Stag being most popular among them. Just food for thought, -MV |

Have you taken a look at rock river arms? They are relatively new to the ar-marketplace but they sell a quality product. They landed a deal from the DEA about a year ago for 10,000 rifles so you know they are good! Look in the Equipment Exchange on this site, a company called Legal-transfers sells a national match ar-15 a2 with a 20" barrel and national match 2 stage trigger and upgraded irons for $960. Check them out! I have had the m4 entry from rra for 2years and put 3000rnds through her with out any jams that were not the fault of bad ammo or bag mags.
