OK, the AR-15 has popped up on many occasions and in many threads now, so it's time it has its own home. LOL.
Ask your questions about AR-15's here. Post specs/photos of your rifles here. Provide URL's of companies who carry AR-15's and/or parts.
Let's make this a one-stop shop for everything AR-15!
I'll start:
I've been wanting one of these evil black rifles (EBR's) for 2.5 years now. I've done a LOT of research on them, where to get them, prices, etc. I've even written a little "book" for myself w/ many of the options I want (eventually), sources of parts, prices, etc.
One MAJORLY helpful piece of info I've found and read is Jerrell Wise's "So you want to buy an AR-15?" article. This is probably the one source of info that helped me w/ 95% of my questions and research and decisions. Find it here or here (starting on page 2). I also have a Microsoft Word and pdf version of it if those sites give you grief.
Another resource is Donley's Gun Shop. Dave sometimes hosts an AR-15 kit build day. Basically, you buy a complete kit from him, assemble it yourself (w/ his guidance), and shoot it. The last build they did was a 16" CAR and it came to $580 if I remember correctly.
Personally, I'm seriously looking at (OK, drooling over) the one that J. Wise recommended: the CMMG. What I like about those (other than they came highly recommended by Mr. Wise) is the many different configurations for the same price, which isn't too terrible, either!
This is what I plan on getting, in case anyone was curious:
CMMG Upper: 18" SPR Upper w/Mid Length Gas
CMMG Lower: Semi-Auto Lower Receiver w/Internals and Stock
They also have USGI 30-round magazines for $10 each.
I have other info and resources, but I'll post it later.
So, let's start discussing AR-15's!!!
