Resist the urge to buy somebody else's experiment. If at all possible, buy new, as you will have a warranty, if from a reputable mfr. Castle Arms is a good source, as are Bushmaster, Armalite, and a long third, Colt.
Relax, and learn before rushing into things, there's no hurry at this point. |

Get what you want for the best price. I have had Bushmaster which I loved, I also have had Colt, and Olympic Arms (95 vintage not the plinker of today) And there was no major diference between any of them fireing wise. I now have a bushmaster upper on a Esential Arms lower and it works like a charm. Rock River, DPMS, PWA, etc. get what you want and check around on prices. It is easy to over pay. Dont rule out used either. Good luck....

You'll be hard pressed to beat Anti's offer. I would stick with something manufactured and assembled by a reputable firm for your first one. Then check out the mods you want and hop over to build it yourself for help in getting them bolted on.

colt car 6724. can't go wrong. looks good and is super accurate. add on a jewell trigger.
[sniper] Quoted: I have some basic experience with the colt M16 and AR15 given by the military. My question is I am going to purchase one for myself and the gun shop where I shoot has several in various states of modification. what should I look for what should I stay away from or modify myself. How can I tell if it has the limitaion for the magazine. any help would be great. Dan |

Pre-ban Colts are very good. Among the best ARs.
Post ban Colts suck so bad I get sick just thinking of them. [puke] |

Remember that a Chrome moly barrel IS NOT a Chrome Lined barrel.Some of the manufacturers tend to make people think there is no difference.Good Luck and happy shopping

Stick with the big three: ABC.
Armalite Bushmaster Colt I think Bush makes the most, ArmaLite makes the best for a few bucks more, and Colt is sort of there somewhere. The rest are assembly houses buying parts here and there. Baer may be an exception but doesn't make many. |

The ONLY way to know if it's pre-ban is to check the serial number. If someone is selling a "pre-ban" ask if they have the original sales slip, and if not, get in touch with the manufacturer and get the serno checked.
If it is a pre-ban, the features can be almost limitless. But the MOST important thing is to verify the seno. Common features of a pre-ban are bayonet lug, birdcage flash suppressor, and if it is in a CAR set up, a collapsable stock. [smoke] |
