Bravo Company 16" Mid-Length comes in right around your price range...

Spikes is g2g
PSA is g2g However, I wish someone would have told me what I am about to tell you when I was buying my first AR. Buy once, cry once! I wish I would have saved up and waiting a few more month and bought a LaRue as my first one. It is a tad outside your price range, but it is worth every penny. Just my 2 cents! BCV, out! |

The price on the Colt 6920 is very hard to beat
Might as well start with the Colt you can always by a middy upper down the road unless the Fad will change 
I would trust a Colt 6920 straight out of the box! I dont know If I would do the same with other brands/ And No Im not a Colt Fan boy I sold my Colt back in the late 80`s I do have a couple LMT M4`s I like LMT but since the Colt can be had for under a 1000 bucks its hard to recomend something else in a M4 |

Del-Ton middy kit minus the lower which can be had for less than $100. You can upgrade the barrel to 1x7 twist for $45.
 Your welcome. And that will save you plenty of $$$ for an optic.

Thanks for all the fast responses.
Does anybody have a feel for how long the backorder period is on the Colt 6920 or the Spike's Mid? |

Quoted: Quoted: Bravo Company 16" Mid-Length comes in right around your price range... X2 I thought those were unobtanium these days, hence the Spike's plug. I also didn't realize that the BCM middy rifle was in the $1000 or less price range... but I haven't looked in a while. I tend to build my own. |

Get the colt. The mid length stuff is overrated Internet talk, carbine length is fine.

Just to throw this out there, I ordered a PSA M4 carbine length upper for about 465 bucks with an MBUS rear sight installed and sighted in and got it 17 days after I placed my order... all chrome lined and a full auto bolt carrier. Very well built upper light enough to put on a work gun and plenty accurate with the 1:7 twist 16" chrome lined chrome moly vandium barrel. PSA is GTG in my book.... Now lets let the remarks about why didn't I get an 800 dollar upper roll in
Then after you have your upper all you have to do is buy a lower reciever and lower parts kit (or complete lower) locally or have one shipped to an FFL holder of your preference... that should have you paying about 700-800 for a complete AR built just the way you want it as most places that sell such uppers allow you to select custom options for reasonable cost. And the same applies to lowers as well. I like your thought process though. Certainly start out with a K.I.S.S. rifle and get the feel of the AR platform then just customize as you go if you feel the need. |

everyone starts out carbine, but they wind up getting a midlength at some point or another

I've never owned anything but carbine length gas systems but I've fired all three options on direct impingement guns (Car, Middy, and Rifle) It's all in personal preference for the most part. |

I have owned both carbine and middy, I personally prefer the middy! But to each their own!

Spike's Middy available for shipping from AIM right now: Spike's Midlength I agree with Aimless in that I haven't felt any difference in recoil from my carbine to the midlength, but for me a longer forearm is a must due to long arms and needing the extra real estate to properly hold the rifle comfortably. (6'2") Another plus for me is asthetics, I think the mid looks much better, but that's subjective, YMMV.

Decide if you want a show gun or a working gun. The Colt at just under 1K would be my choice.
