    Stop obsessing over minutiae and get busy shooting. You are suffering from analysis paralysis, which is common for the first-time buyer that thinks he's going to get it right on his first try. You're not. Anyone that tells you they did is a liar or hasn't shot enough yet. Whatever loss you wind up taking on selling off parts from the above that you don't like will be money well spent for the lessons learned and knowledge gained.
    WOW.....someone should just sticky this.(or some form of this list) It is the correct answer to this question which gets asks 3 times a week.

    OP, do yourself a favor and do this and after you have taken the class post again.

    More often than not Rob's advice goes unheard.

    They are illigetimate weapons that have no real purpose other than to attract retards to the gun community.

    That's a great price. Had I not just bought an iPad that cost me that much I might buy one just to have in the safe in a box.

    I can vouch for this and I can pretty much guarantee it wont happen the first time.

    I just wrote up a thread last week, its about the changes my rifle went through and how I wasnt sure what I was after.

    Not to mention it took a year and LOTS of ammo.

    I would listen to Rob. I have a BCM RECCE 16 and it's not the lightest AR in the world. I am a big guy so it works for me. Still my arms fell like I have been in the gym after prolonged range time. I have decided to buy a carbine and set it up to be a light weight rifle and see how that works out.


    This is my BCM RECCE 16.

    Hey everyone, first of all, I want to thank all of you for your help, not just in this thread, but also for this forum and all you do for us newb's-this forum is a great resource.

    I bought an AR-15 today and I wanted to share my experience. I made up my mind that I was going to go with a 16", mid-length gas system setup with a lightweight barrel. I narrowed it down to BCM and Daniel Defense. I searched for the BCM and couldn't find them anywhere. I emailed BCM and they responded promptly that they are behind and suggested that I try RSR group. I contacted RSR, but they didn't have any lightweight barreled rifles, so I began searching for the one a I really wanted all along, the DDM4V7LW.

    https://danieldefense.com/daniel-def...ine-v7-lw.html

    After hours of searching online. I couldn't find this anywhere either so I called up Daniel Defense direct to get some #'s for their dealers and one of the #'s they gave me was Texas Tactical. I gave them a call and spoke with Joe and Jenn (hope that's the right spelling). They were great to talk to and very helpful. They had 2 in stock (1 box, 1 display). They had a VERY good price on these compared to everywhere else (1,249.95!!!). Jenn said that this is a temporary price due to inventory issues. They were only about 40 minutes from me so I made the drive and bought the last boxed rifle they had in stock. I spoke with them for a while and I have to say that they were very helpful and likable. It was nice to deal with this small gun shop and I think I will be doing more business with them in the future.

    By the way, I thought it was cool that half their wall was occupied by BCM and Daniel Defense along with a nice spread of Noveske among others. After walking around their store I noticed that they had most of the equipment that this forum advises as the best and little to no waste with unadvised offerings. I could tell by the experience that these two new their stuff. They are still a small shop and offering small prices, but with big personality and I felt that they really deserved to be praised a little, so thanks for bearing with me!

    The ammo will make more of a difference than barrel/optic for the effective range when used for hunting for the .223/5.56 variety.
