Hello. I just joined the club. I don't yet own my own AR-15(does that matter)? I have 16 years in the Army and 3 Tours in Iraq (3 more months)! I have requested to purchase an M1 Garand from CMP and I would like to get my own AR-15 when I get home(remember, 3 more months)! Can anyone recomend a manufacturer in the lower price ranges that are of good quality. I see so many manufactures and I don't know anything about the quality of their products. Any suggestions will be appreciated!
