I have been into guns for most all of my life, but have only owned pistols and a shotgun. I feel like it is time to add an AR to my collection as it has been a long time coming. Since I have been researching these for what feels like an eternity now, it seems this forum is the best place to get some good advice on my questions.
Right now I am just looking for some recommendations on parts really. I would like something light, accurate, but totally reliable more than anything. I literally have just the BCG picked out http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=XAIMBCGNIBBDG and have been thinking about going w/ a local co for the upper/lower http://www.devildogarms.com/products/receivers/product/107-dda-15b-3d-billet-lower-upper-receiver-set.html. I really like the look of some fluted barrel's out there, but have no idea of what brand to go with. Always been a fan of the BRO ones, though I am sure there are other possibly better options on the market. Beyond that I am open to suggestions/recommendations. I have been also considered a pre-built AR, but cannot decide on one manuf since there are SO damn many. Still open to those though |

If your wanting something light, accurate and reliable for a first rifle I would suggest a Bravo ELW fluted with KMR. I doubt you'll find a lighter upper that you won't need a stamp for. BCM costumer service is also great.

On a side note I think I started my thread in the wrong section, but not sure how to move it. |

I have heard only good things about black hole weaponry barrels. You should check them out. Thanks I will check those out. Are the only difference's between these two barrel & hand guard length? I went thru line-by-line and all the specs looked the same. I am a little surprised to see the 14.5" barrel is more expensive than the 16", but idk crap about the AR market so.... http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-16-Mid-Length-LIGHT-WEIGHT-KeyMod-KMR13-p/bcm-urg-mid-16elw-kmr13.htm http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-14-5-Mid-Length-Light-Weight-Upper-KMR-KeyMod-p/bcm-urg-mid-14bfh-lw-kmr10.htm Just caught this blurb "These 14.5" mid length gas barreled upper receiver groups have been specifically tuned to be a very soft and fast shooting set up. They are a joy to shoot, but please feed it good ammo. With good milspec pressured ammo we have been running H buffers. We do not recommend using lower powered ammo. If using less than milspec pressured ammo, it may be best to run a standard carbine buffer." |
