Was set on 6920 as my first AR but not sure now
First let me say I'm very glad I found this site and am amazed at the info here, it's costing me sleep...
Here's my situation, always wanted an AR, my grandmother left me some money which I figured I'd use to purchase my first AR with, figure it'll have more meaning than a new flat screen tv that'll get junked in 5 years, thus, I plan to keep this gun forever and pass down to my kids, it will be the last gift from her...
Second, I'm in the police academy now and there is a chance I could use this as a duty weapon depending on if/which agency I go to work for...
I had decided on the colt 6920, this seems like a popular choice for what I want and looks hard to beat for the money ($1200 total). But, then I start reading on this site and see the Danial Defense offerings from G & R tactical which looks like a great customized gun for around the same $$$.
My question now is which gun to choose, from my very limited research, seems the colt would hold it's value better but that the G & R built is probably a "more useful" weapon. Again, the catch here is that it's my first AR, that I plan to keep, forever. Any suggestions? If you do suggest the G & R, any must have upgrades?
