Hello all! I am a newb here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am Austin in Texas and have an affinity for tactical shotguns hence the screen name. I post under this screen name mainly in the Tactical Group at ShotgunWorld, but also at Rimfire Central.
I believe it is time for me to add a good quality AR to my collection of pistols, rifles and SGs, all shooters, no safe queens. It will be mainly used for casual target use, but will also be used in case of a SHTF situation.
I have owned and used guns for over 50 years including small game hunting and casual target shooting with both rim-fire and center-fire pistol and rifle. I have also shot skeet and trap extensively. I am not LEO or active military, but did serve in the Infantry from 66 to 72, which gives you a pretty good idea of my generation. All that said, let me ask a newb question.
I was all set to buy a S&W M&P 15T yesterday but while doing some final research on this site and others I discovered the Noveske N4 Low Profile, which appears to this newb to be clearly superior to the 15T. I realize this is subjective and I am the only one who can make the final decision, but just how superior is it?
Before you answer, please let me put my question in context - I can buy a new 15T locally for $1,175 minus the $100 rebate netting out at a very attractive $1,075. The best price I am seeing so far on the N4 is $1,900. I figure the sales tax vs the shipping and FFL transfer is a wash, so is the N4 Low Profile superior by $825?
I read the differences between the 2 and recognize the N4 is the superior build but I don't know how to judge the difference in price. Again, I realize this is subjective and I am the only one who can make the final decision, but I am hoping to learn from your experienced perspectives. I am willing to spend the extra $ if the value is there. Thanks to all that reply.
