I checked optics planet. It's $439 vs $248 for the Burris. For the budget conscious. I think the Burris won't disappoint.
I'm not expecting any serious work or shooting outside of 250 meters with my AK. When i get my 6.8 though, i'm throwing an 4x/ACOG on it.

Haha, I saw the new 'vette, liked what I saw, but am not buying another car until I have built a house. Probably pick up a CPO in 3-4 years. BTDT with the "new car" thing, now.

sucks you missed the boat.

U can over pay for an AR or wait until everything cools down.

So I am going to buy another .40 S&W and am eyeing a Glock 22. I am also considering a Beretta because I am not overly fond of stiker fired handguns. Considering that I already have 4 H&K polymer pistols would anyone recommend a Beretta?

Red__Zed

yeah, been bummed out. was waiting out buying until after things settled down with my new house, looks like I missed out

tvfreakazoid

Will this be your first AR if you ever get a chance to get one?

First "real" AR


I briefly owned a beat to hell bushmaster that I bought for like $400 and resold a week later.

Do what i'm doing now. Thursday night i said fvck it and started ordering upper parts I'm just buying parts. I ordered a 6.8 barrel, a magpul forward stock and later i will buy an Adams arms piston sytem, last thing i will need is a BCG,upper and upper parts kit. I estimate $1100 in parts total, but i think i will have a rifle worth about $1900-2200 in a normal market when i'm done'

I have 2 lowers i built myself. Some parts you can get little buy little. And an AR is a fvckin easy build. Just a few PITA areas on the lower, difficulty level i think is a 6 out of 10.

"Frankenguns"...AR15's assembled from parts... generally net a very low return in a normal marketplace. Usually one is much better off to disassemble and sell the parts separately.

I meant performance wise. The equivalent in features and performance. Also, that seriously depends which parts you build it with. If most of your gun is a DPMS/CMMG kit,stag upper parts and your only upgrades is Barrel and trigger and some tacticool crap on it.... It won't net much.

But if you use a CMT/Barrett lower on a LWRC parts kit, American Gold/Geisselle trigger, Troy Sights/ Adams arms foregrip and possibly an AApiston system, throw in Magpul miad grips, Magpul CTR/ACS stock FN/Green moutain or Wison combat barrel. Cerakote your parts and pay attention to detail.

I bet my gun wil be more sought after. Frankenguns are usually better anyway, because you can suit everything to your taste. And you don't have to worry if your gun every breaks down, cuz you will know exactly how to fix it. No one has quality control better gthan you. thats why i build my own lowers, cuz even on expensive guns. Lowers are usually shyt. Well manufactured Mil-spec parts most of the time fit like a glove. Very little retrofitting has to be done when using quality parts.
