Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
You could always go to the shoot Sat. I'm sure there would be a few differant styles that You could try out. Might help You decide for sure.

hmmm, that's an idea. Although, it would be nice to bring my own rifle to the shoot as wellOriginally Posted by Marlin
I definitely would like to pick some brains on AR's in the future, i have a lot to learn. We'll see if anything catches my eye at Jensen's. I think i'll try and exercise some patience.
You do realize that one may not be enough. I have 5, granted 3 of them are waiting on $$$ to get finished.
First on I got was a 16" A4 HBAR. with the detachable CH.

Of course i do
Problem is, this may/probably will be my only 2008 purchase. Wife isn't thrilled on gun purchases, and we don't really have the money. Just want to do it right the first time around.
Wait until she holds a great gun or goes to a shoot. My wifey is from a liberal family and has liberal leanings, but she's come around. She's come around so much that she actually bought me a gun last year for my birthday! And she wants one of her own someday.Of course i do

Spend once and spend wisely.
Buy the LMT lower and upper, a set of handguards, BCG, CH and BUIS.
It will cost more, but it is better than Bushmaster and RRA.
Not to bash Bushies or RRA, I have owned both, along with ArmaLites. But the LMT is a whole nother level.
Get the lower with the single stage trigger, rather than a 2 stage.
This is me speaking several years after buying my first. My first was a stripped lower and a J&T parts kit.
Doing it all over again, I would make my first my second.
I was of the belief that I could build a rifle that was just as good as the high dollar ones for a lot less money. I kept trying and trying. Finally, I spent the money to get one that was built right, and now I know why I could not.
The old saying, "you get what you pay for" applies. Quality is not cheap.
A bushie/RRA/ArmaLite/DPMS may work fine, but if I was only looking at one rifle it would be an LMT or Colt (Colt Defense). They are other threads on other sites that expand on the QC/testing that goes into the LMT/Colt rifles as opposed to the rest.
I am not saying to buy a Wilson or Les, there is stuff on those I don't want or need. And I do own an ArmaLite currently.
I would be happy to go into Jensen's with you. I live close and go in there frequently. I am gone until the end of next week, but I can say that if you state your case, they will take care of you. They have a huge selection and priced from low to high.

Why the hate on Russian ammo ? Some of us can barely afford that with the way ammo prices are skyrocketing. I've had no problems with it at all.It may burn a little dirtier but I've got to clean the gun anyway when I'm done shooting. IMHO
I don't hate it, I just wouldn't use it on a fine American rifle. You are correct in dirty burning, but there are other problems that can arise from coated bullets. For me, it mostly preference. Same reason I don't drink crap beer or crap vodka, bad things MAY happen. As for cost, I bought a bunch of 5.56 and shoot it sparingly, but shoot my .22 a lot.
Cheers.
