Anyone here into firearms?

MacCool gives good advice. I wasn't really thinking about a new shooter of AR's when I said that about building one.
And I would also agree there are better made rifles than DPMS and Bushmaster. But essentially that was my point, unless you need one for competition, combat or a rifle that can meet the demands of dispatching killer hoards of zombies, you will be OK with one of the less expensive rifles. I would stay away from the Olympic rifles. I have seen a few and the fit, finish and reliability just are not there. For a little extra money you can do much better.
There is such a wealth of information on the net, to be able to make an informed decision on what you need for your particular situation. I find sifting through all the information is half the fun of the purchase.
