    So BCM upper..then save a few more bucks and get whatever lower you can afford. Shoot that, and dream about the SBR and Suppresor after your kid graduates college

    If you can expand a bit on your budget, an AR pistol with a good single point sling might be ideal for you. It can fit into your eventual plans concerning eventually going SBR/suppressed.

    It is possible that I can swing a 6920 if I sell some guns. I guess I just want to know what makes Colt/DD/LMT superior vs PSA. Not saying it isn't just trying to learn more. It makes it easier to part with guns to fund it.

    The only valid reason to sell a gun is to fund the purchase of another, so it's OK.


    Save up the money over time and sell some guns that don't get enough love.

    A half built gun does you no good.

    Half the money saved up for a gun can still buy beer.

    What makes Porter Cable and DeWalt drills better than Task Dorce and FireStorm?

    Good advice. I sold some calibers that I wasn't reloading for and was able to put together a 14.5 carbine using the bcm upper and a stripped lower, psa moe lpk, b5 sopmod stock, it's a kiss rifle under 1200 bucks. Your budget can be obtained if you shop around. I'm just saving for an aimpoint now....
    don't even try to take my weapons away from me and my peoples...

    If you can't afford to purchase at once, then the only thing that makes sense is to purchase the components and then build it up.

    The first thing I would do is locate a lower (I have seen LMT's for as low as 360.00) complete and then get the upper, etc...

    At least half of any home defense budget should go into professional training. Take SouthNarc's AMIS class
    (you don't even need live rds. there) or Insights Home Defense
    Build the software right now, get the hardware later. Then, after you have you have done that, get a lower receiver and a
    used upper by one of the top brands like Colt or BCM. Quality doesn't vanish after 3000 rds of use, but inferior products stay
    inferior- and may go tits up in the worst possible moment.

    Honestly then why get an AR for home defense? For $400-500 you can get a high quality shot gun that would be a more reliable and better home defense weapon.

    Highly subjective. I'd be worried about overpenetration of walls putting other family members at risk with a shotgun for home defense. If I was to use a long gun for home defense, I'd prefer an AR15.
