Listen to what everyone says. Buy once and cry once. Later you can experiment with other levels of quality if you feel the need. I would never advise a friend or family member buying their first and possibly only AR to get anything less than a Colt 6920 or its equivalent from DD or Bcm. I have owned and own lower quality rifles including Stag and there really is a difference for the $200 or so you save compared to a Colt,DD,BCM. It is all about peace of mind and knowing that you own a quality rifle with quality components that was assembled properly to a known standard and specifications.
Of course we all could just be crazy and have no idea what we are talking about. Which do you think is more likely.
