Assault Rifle Newb


SN03

Recommended Posts

I've caught the firearm bug again & want to purchase my first AR-15 carbine. I have a Glock 30 .45auto, Mossberg 590 12gauge, & plenty experience with firearms but not so much assault rifles. From what I've been told the best way to go is to build one, but I don't have the time or experience to do that. Reading online it seems the S&W M&P 15 is the best bang for the buck on entry level AR's. I want a 16" barrel chambered in 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington. $1200 is the max I want to spend, under $1k would be great.

I know most of you probably aren't legally allowed to possess a firearm, but any info/advice is appreciated. :P

This should be my complete arsenal by mid-summer, funds permitting. I get near dealer pricing & all brand new should run me close to $2,600:

S&W snub-nose .38.................summer carry/backup

Glock 30 .45acp subcompact...concealed carry

Glock 20 10mm full size.........woods/hiking

Stevens Arms Co .22/.410......small game

Savage Axis .30-06..................large game

Mossberg 590A 12 gauge........home defense

AR-15 .223/5.56mm...............zombies, saint fans, etc

Wal-Mart has a Sig M400 around 8-900ish http://www.sigsauer....ifles-m400.aspx

An AR15 is not an assault rifle, only Fully automatics are considered assault rifles!

I have an Armalite and it cost about $1200. I have shot more than a thousand rounds through it without any problems. However, I would recommend saving a little more money and buying a Daniel's Defense or Bravo Company AR.

    • Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.
    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
