    One of the guy was knocking on the door. He was telling me about the hoa and we need to change this and that.

    We voted for him, and there are no hoa bs things we worry about for a while.

    Run for a board.

    He meant to post that on the HOA thread.

    To the OP, you will never make it to Tier 1 Operator status with a mere entry level AR.

    ...and this was a joke.

    I bought a complete rifle as my first. Once I got the hang of things, I built my second. Nothing wrong with that approach.

    Buy one, shoot it, buy more.

    Those dpmsfor under $400 are tempting. I could hand them out come Christmas. Or give my contractor one as a bonus. He has no clue how much AR's are. Or didn't until i said, THEY WANT HOW MUCH for a S&W M&P ?

    Buy budget rifle.
    Shoot budget rifle.
    Keep all parts you decide to swap out for better stuff
    Shoot upgraded budget rifle.
    Assemble new rifle starting with hoarded parts.
    Shoot new rifle.
    Repeat.

    Those are both decent choices, and here's my comment. They both seem to be carbine length gas systems with a 16" barrel. Midlength gas systems are getting more popular as they're easier on the bolt carrier group, and midlength is perceived to have a softer press. If I had either of those blasters my first change would be to swap out the barrel/handguard for something else (or build a new upper) , but I think they're both fine to start with.

    Pretty hard to beat the M&P rifles for a budget build. Up the ante a hair for the chrome barreled rifle, I have seen "bare bones" (sans furniture) for $500.00.
    Good , solid and reliable rifles that just flat work. I have seen them run very hard and they just keep running.

    Your in the salad days of AR's, sales are flat and you can buy cheap.
