| Going to be my first ar which one should i get? Looking at either the entry level anderson from sportsmanguide or a DPMS oracle |
|
Neither. Look at a Delton these are MSRP prices, your local dealer should be cheaper. http://www.del-ton.com/carbine_rifles_s/2.htm |

You can buy a LMT SOPMOD lower and put any upper you want on it.
You can buy a Colt 6920 OEM1 and put any stock and hand guard you want on it. Why are you considering an Anderson for your first rifle? Most people seem to be happy with them, but they are the cheapest product on the market. With the coming election cycle I think quality is more important than economy. I suggest you buy the best rifle you can and worry about the cost later. If she is successful in banning the production of any new AR-15's, would you rather have an Anderson or a Colt/LMT? |

Get what you can afford plus mags and ammo. Dont buy a rifle from SG, there are cheaper options. What are some other good places? So far they have been the cheapest place i have seen. http://www.gunbroker.com/ https://www.slickguns.com/ |

Aero Precision has the best deal right now for a budget AR15... I hate saying "entry level" because more and more of these so-called "entry level" AR15s coming out lately are actually quite good compared to "entry level" a while back. I'd feel more comfortable with a DPMS but if only given the choice of an Anderson, I'd be fine. You could also buy a PSA lower and PSA Freedom upper for cheap, if you can handle their wait times. |

Spikes, Areo, BCM, RRA, Colt have some reasonable prices. This. I chose DPMS out of your choices as it was also my first AR. While it's considered "lower tier" I never had any issues from mine. Not malfunctions, breakages or anything else. That being said, nowadays you're limiting yourself to only those 2 as there are many better ARs (like those listed above) for similar pricing. It's salad days my friend. |
