| Okay folks. I"m new to the whole AR set up. I'm used to shooting competition Remington Model 700's chambered for a .300 WinMag and I figured it's time to go for a short rage piece. I'm not looking to spend a lot of cash (I figured about $600-$700 sounds reasonable.) I'm looking for a setup with a 16" barrel chambered in a 5.56 round. What would you folks recommend? Looking forward to some fun shooting. Thanks in advance... |

Legal Transfers has a good deal on a Stag kit even has back up irons and a 30rd magazine. Model 1 Sales has various 16" kits. Del-Ton Many Kits. I suggest paying the extra for a chrome lined barrel as it adds tot eh reliability and ease of cleaning. I'd also suggest sending the trigger out to Bill Springfield @ [email protected] for a trigger job as the stock trigger isn't too clean. You will need a lower: Gunsmoke Ent. has a special going. Essential Arms also inexpensive. Anvil Arms inexpensive + free laser engraving! Coleman Tyler/Mega just plain cool and awesome quality, I have one.  Gunbroker.com FFL Finder to find a dealer to ship the lower to. |

CMMG Bargain Bin rifles have been discontinued. My vote is for a Stag 2 (front sight, flat top), Stag 2T (same as Stag 2 but with FF quad rail), or Stag 3 (same as Stag 2 but with a railed gas block instead of a front sight). Simple and very dependable. I bought a Stag 3 upper from ar15sales.com, a semi-complete Stag lower from Rainier Arms, and small misc. parts from other sources. For example, I added Brownells Flip Up sights, a Phantom 5C2 flash suppressor, and a Magpul CTR stock. I'm very happy with it. If you don't want a deer head on your lower, go to the EE and pick out a lower with a different rollmark. For the most part, most lowers are the same. |
