    Witness here a good friend of mine: He wanted a basic carbine for plinking and busting jacks. The day comes for him to bite the bullet and throw down some cash. I had previous conversations with him about quality AR's and what not to buy.

    Apparently none of those suggestions got through his thick skull as he showed up on a Saturday to show off his new toy and much to my concern uncased a brand new DPMS. My concern quickly turned to horror when he told me how much he spent- $1,300! Naturally, being a good friend I kept My mouth shut and told him how nice it was.

    Now came the trouble. He purchased a VFG and promptly found out it didn't fit on the 4 rail hand guard that came with the rifle. He consulted me and I told him what the problem was (not even close to 1913)

    Anther $250 for a mid-length from Midwest Ind. and half a day of wrestling with, then finally cutting-off of the YHM barrel and jam nut that were glued on with half a bottle of blue locktite! solved that. I did not charge him for my time. $1,550 is one spicy meatball! Imagine the sweetheart he could have picked up with that

    Lesson learned for him (I hope). Buy it right the first time!!!

    Which brand do you consider top of the line. I am going back and forth between a Colt, Noveske, or LMT.
    Personally, no out of the box (cookie cutter) AR is considered top of the line (to me). The best AR is generally one that is built from a wide range of products (choosing only the best).

    For out of the box top of the line, the three you have mentioned are the best available.

    What parts would you choose to make the best AR possible?

    A lot of good points were made, now I'm just waiting on my tax return check. I think I'm gonna end up buying my upper and lower a little farther apart than planned.

    4. LT Stealth upper receiver (M4 cuts)
    5. VLTOR MUR
    6. Geissele Trigger (DMR)
    7. Noveske SS barrel
    8. Noveske N4 barrel
    9. LMT barrel
    10. BCM barrel
    11. JP Ent. Tactical bolt carrier
    12. LMT BCG
    13. BCM BCG
    14. Troy sights
    15. Sun Devil Lower
    16. Noveske Lower
    17. Sabre Defence Lower
    18. LMT SOPMOD
    19. VLTOR EMOD
    20. Magpul UBR
    21. Magpul PRS
    22. TD Battlegrip

    Uhm, well I like their 9mm AR's.

    Honestly speaking since you can get an ADS AR for $825 (with a LMT BCG), I don't see any reason to buy a RRA AR.

    Is there anything that would make the Colt worth the extra $250-$300 over the LMT?

    Actually it is not. LMT complete weapons are $1250. Colt 6920's go for $1300. You have to compare apples to apples.
