Good starting point in the Ar15 platform for around $1,000.00??
I am looking to get into an ARs style platform rifle and I know absolutely nothing about them so I needing to be schooled somewhat. I am wanting one of good quality and is basically good as is. I will possibly add electronic sights down the road or change stocks etc.. but I want one good to go as is. So Far I am leaning toward getting a Colt M4 Carbine. If I am missing something or there are better options for around the same price pleaselet me know. Thanks in advance for any help given/knowledge shared.

Your thoughts on Colt are sound. Their 6920 and 6720 lightweight version are excellent choices for an M4gery. I'd also look at BCM's midlength ARs which are equal to Colt but offer the midlength gas system in a 16" barrel instead of Colt's carbine length gas.
The comment on PSA tends to be valid, they offer a lot for the money but I wouldn't go as far to say better than Colt. I have BCM, Daniel Defense and PSA and am impressed with what I got for a couple hundred less. |
