Who Dat ?!
I hit a rough patch some time back and had to sell off my first AR. It was nothing special, just a basic Frankenstein mil spec rifle. I put a decent quad rail on it, a vertical foregrip and a $120 sightmark on it and had a blast. I'd like to do something a bit nicer this time but I definitely have Del Ton money to go with Daniel Defense taste. My must haves include :
1.) All mil spec parts. No sporter barrels or anything of the sort. No polymer lowers.
2.) Chrome lined barrel for cheap ammo peace of mind.
3.) Low Profile gas block.
4.) Quality iron sights.
That's really it. I'd love to have a 10 inch free float rail. I'd love to have a heavy bull style barrel. I'd love an Aimpoint. But these are all things I can save up for later. I don't want to go cheap on the overall rifle quality to squeeze in accessories I can add in later. Ill dress it up and improve it as I go. I'd also like it as small and light as possible. My budget for rifle with no optics tops out at a whopping $900. I'm not going to shoot at any competitions. I'm not going to war any time soon. (I hope) I just want something solid I can depend on and be somewhat proud of. Any off the shelf you'd recommend ? A parts kit ? The used market ? Any suggestions are appreciated.... I miss shooting AR's. And to think I used to complain about going to the range. Sigh.....
