    Cheapest I would go would be the S&W Sport, but I recommend setting your current budget aside then every paycheck set aside 50 more and soon you will have enough for a Colt/BCM/etc

    .

    These answers would be a big help:
    - What do you want to use it for?
    - How much do you have to spend?
    - How often would you shoot it?

    But maybe it's just me...

    The best thing to do is go and get you a Colt 6920. There really ain't that much difference in the price. If you can get together $700.00-$900.00 dollars then just hang on a little longer and save another $200.00-$300.00 for a great piece. It don't cost that much more to go first class. This is just my personal opinion so best of luck and let us know what you decide.

    What is affordable?

    Why are you in a rush?

    What did you plan on spending?

    Is there any reason why you cannot wait?

    Can we get a "Affordable AR15" sticky thread ?

    And add:

    Colt 6920/BCM/DD/S&W and be done with it.

    I see these pop up way too often, and in the coming months, between all the new gun owners and elections, I can only imagine how many more threads we will see of people trying to scrap together whatever money they can to put together an ar15 before theres no more rifles or parts to buy.

    I bought a Windham SRC at the "local" gun shop for $826
    I've seen them at Wal-Mart for $799
    I'm happy with the rifle, put about 100 rounds through it do far.
    The main use of the Windham is for my son to use hunting this fall.
    I put a Burris Fastfire II red dot on it and Magpul MBUS, like both.
    The Windham would be just fine for HD or recreational shooting, IMO.
    (Windham is produced by former Bushmaster employees)
    Has chrome lined bore, forward assist, dust cover (features missing on cheaper AR's).

    I also have a Daniel M4 V2, but honestly I doubt I actually needed "exceeds mil spec" for my use (not competiting, not LE, no AR classes in my future); I do like the free float rail on the DD V2, which is also on the cheaper Stag 2T.
    Strive to carry the handgun you would want anywhere, everywhere; forget that good area bullcrap.
    "Wouldn't want to / Nobody volunteer to" get shot by _____ is not indicative of quickly incapacitating.

    You'd bet your life on a rifle with 100 rounds through it?
