What is your "Beater/Truck rifle"?

[Jpoe88]

Youre absolutely right. The respectful nature of my comments has slammed you into a defensive corner to use derrogatory terminilogy to demean the topic. I am the one starting crap. I need a mod to delete this

Is this a thread where guys talk about the $600 Ruger and S&W ARs out there? I believe those are the most common inexpensive Big Box ARs that Joe Sixpack is likely to see, although I haven't been in a gun shop in a minute nor am I up to date on what Bushmaster and Olympic Arms are pooping out these days.

I purchased several Aero Precision ARs on deep discount from Brownell's for that roughly the same price. Cheapest ARs I've ever bought.

A bone stock 6920 is as "cheap" as I would go.


Part of me wants a Wyndham Dissipator for like a truck/camp/screw around gun.

ETA Just because I like the look and profile. Probably just the upper though

Wow, it only took 2 pages for someone to figure out...

I have a couple of PSA "Premium" builds to go along with my "higher" value Colt and two BCM's.

Go ahead. I had a Diamondback this summer, got it in the cash needed part if the trade. I am starting to scavenge for parts. Dont k ow whats worth while skipping over. Trying to put a few together on the lower end. Didnt know if it was cheaper to buy one out right

[Jpoe88]

When BCM has lpks in ill be using one in my crappy build.

I have an M&P Sport that I believe has a little over 1500 rounds, maybe 2000, through it. It's been fine.

It's the only cheap AR I'd buy, and I didn't buy it as a tool anyway... When I figured out that I wanted an AR to rely on and really start training around, I got a BCM.

As do I.

To the OP---this kit was on PSA's site last week for $599, add a lower and MBUS and you're under $700 even in today's market (I got this about 3 years ago):

I will look into that. I aready have 1 set of receivers and 2 lowers. The a1 olympic upper is going to be a x39 build. Dont see the sense in dimping copious amounts of cash into that. I got the stripped upper for next to nothing.

I have a CMMG that was a steaming pile of crap. Now it is merely a pile of crap after some upgrades, but no longer steaming.

I regret buying it. Should have educated myself a lot more back in 2005 when I bought it.
