Title: AR15 Post by: digginfool on July 12, 2012, 05:13:10 PM My brother just bought a DPMS AR15 in .223 and it's a sweet shooting gun. I've always liked AR15s but never really wanted to spend the cash for one when my AK did just fine (he spent almost $2,000.00 by the time he was done customizing the gun whereas my AK was under $500.00 and shot just fine out of the rags). I know there are a number of variants and makers so here goes; build an off-brand or go Colt? If off-brand, what brand do you recommend? What accessories would you recommend? .223 or .308?

Title: Re: AR15 Post by: digginfool on July 30, 2012, 02:53:49 PM I had decided that I wasn't going to buy an AR15 so i went to the gun shop to pick up an FN 57. Unfortunately, that's become a very difficult gun to find and the ammo is even tougher. I already own a S&W 1006 so I don't need any additional ammo headaches. Just so happened the dealer had a brand new Colt M4 Carbine for about the same price I would have paid for the FN. Guess who owns an M4? ;) I love the gun just the way it is with the pop up iron sights, no handle. Plenty of rail space if I decide to accessorize later. Ran 200 rounds threw it yesterday and it is a joy to shoot. Clean up was amazing; push two pins and the gun falls apart. Easy to clean, easy to assemble.
