New here and to AR's; I'm looking at 2 and could use your expert advice on which I should get

S&W MP15 OR

or

DoubleStar DS4A3

Both are close in price but I really don't know enough to make a choice

Either of these is for fun only––-range, etc.

Thanks

I think optics ready ARs is a stupid idea. Go with the Doublestar unless you just have to have an optics ready rig. Nothing wrong with S&W other than that. Doublestar makes higher end budget guns & kits.

Look into Spikes Tactical. About the same price as the two you mentioned but better quality and customer service.

Unfortunately, there is a 4-6 week waiting time for Spikes; I am a very impatient guy when it comes to my firearms! :)

I know what you mean (been there before) but guns are for a lifetime in my opinion. Years from now you won't remember that you had to wait, only that you got the best gun for the money. To each his own though
