Hi, I am looking for my first AR. I have looked at the Del-ton kits and the CMMG bargain bins rifles. With both I would be in a rifle for $600-$700. I was also looking at various Rock River uppers between $500-$600 and then the following two:
1)"Here is quite a package. This well balance low profile designed upper. Daniel Defense 16 inch M4 barrel, 4150 steel, installed on a CMT Flat Top receiver. 5.56 chrome lined bore and chamber, 1/7 twist, M4 ramped extension and receiver. The forend is a Yankee Hill 7 Inch Diamond Quad Rail. Yankee Hill Machine FLIP UP FRONT SIGHT with bayonet lug and A2 flash hider.
Includes RRA Bolt carrier assembly and forged charging handle.
$650"
2)Daniel Defense 16 inch Cold Hammer Forged barrel installed on a CMT Flat Top receiver. 5.56 chrome lined bore and chamber, 1/7 twist, F marked front sight, A2 flash hider, M4 ramped extension and receiver. Standard handguards.
Includes high quality, Bolt carrier assembly and forged charging handle.
$565
I can get a complete lower for $250 or so. I would prefer to spend less but if the RR and DD are a lot better is it worth the extra $200-300? I really dont want to spend 600-700 only to wish that later I had something a little better/reliable. On the two DD uppers I was thinking the extra $100 is better because it has the rail and flip up sight which by themselves are $100 each.
This is going to be my first gun and I've read tons of forms but I can't decide what is the best decision. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
