My first AR

[MrPrena]

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.

Lost me on that one

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.

Post edited to reflect this...... I didn’t look at the OP’s join date or post count......

Or was it?



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.

Anything with a sixteen inch barrel is garbage according to a certain forum member because it isn?t ?mil-spec?. The military has never requested a 16 inch barrel.
