I definitely need to get some cheap slugs and buckshot so I can have fun with this thing at the range. Next on the list... an AR-15.

Any recommendations under $1,000?

Stay away from DPMS, Bushmaster, CMMG, Olympic...too many corners cut and too high a tendency to fail when pushed.

The best brands are Colt, Noveske, LMT, Daniel Defense, Bravo Company, but those will exceed your $1000. As a starting point, the minimum I'd recommend going is a Smith & Wesson M&P carbine. That is a pretty good rifle.

I base that recommendation on 15 years of SWAT training, as well as many, many carbine courses over the years. I see the weapons that fail when they're run hard.
