I've been readin the forums for awhile tryin to educate myself on the purchase of my first AR-15 and still feel like I don't have the basics down for an educated purchase. Most of what is talked about around here is over my head. Could somebody help me out here or point me in a direction, site, whatever, that could help me out? I feel like I'm tryin to take a drink of water out of a fire hydrant - if you know what I mean...
I wanna first learn to use the iron sights and also be able to add on a scope maybe later. Or at least have that option...
From what I've read I think the Rock River Arms Entry Tactical would be a good first buy. despite their unavailability and soon to be price increase....
If somebody were to ask me why I chose the RR Entry Tactical, I really couldn't say except that it is what I researched to be good.... why? I don't know?? I keep lookin at the various RR models and like the Elite CAR A4 too. I tried to do a comparison of it and the Entry Tactical and from what I seen the differences are:
Handgaurd - midlength on Elite CAR A4 and R-4 Handgaurd on Entry Tactical
Entry Tactical has the R-4 Barrel Profile
and the stock appears to be different (longer). ???
Would the Elite CAR A4 be a good starter? What's the differences on these two? Besides what I listed - which doesn't mean squat to me.
Honestly, I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between RR, Bushy, armalite, etc... at first but might later. I know they all go bang when you pull the trigger but am lookin for more than that.
Thanks for the help...
