Not just another "What AR should I get?"

Help with the costs by just buying another upper. If you want a competition upper, then take Mark's advice. I have an older thread about which precision 5.56/.223 upper to get. It'll be tough to get one this week due to the election gun craze, but keep your eyes peeled.

18" stainless barrels with rifle length gas, match triggers and a good 1-4 optic lay the foundation for a good 3Gun AR-15. If you build one, you will likely use it for plinking, practice and 3Gun and may eventually leave the Rec7 for the HD/Zombie/backup role.

3 gun is the last thing on my list. I am more interested in Classes and training. I want to be able to put 2000 rounds through it in 3 days and not have to worry about anything. I do however want to start getting into 3 gun, and if I enjoy it ill buy a dedicated 3 gun rifle.
