Hello, I have been interested in buying an AR for years, and am finally in the market for one. I do not wish to spend over $1000 bucks, and would like to know some good brands.
I have researched, and it appears BUSHMASTER has the "closest" to mil spec rifle out there. I want a AR that is not very trouble prone! While I know they have their problems, I want a brand with the best rep for having a reliable AR. BTW How is Armalite???? I would like to have an "original", but if their quality is subpar I guess I can survive with a Bushy or other brand.
Also one last thing, Im really interested in having something unique, how are AR-18's?? I like the fact that they have an op rod, and are realativly cheap. They are also a peice of history (to me at least) and aquiring one would be "neet". So how are they?? ( I find it kinda odd they only have a one year warrenty when all the other guns on armalites site have lifetime...)
Thanks!
