    Another vote for Colt! I have three LE6920 MOE Colts. The only other option for me would be build a BCM. I also love my BCM builds, but at $760-$800 for a Colt factory rifle, it's hard to beat!

    Exactly right. The nice thing about ARs is you piece them together as budget permit. Get a BCM lower from G&R, add $15 and get a Gunfight stock and the trigger of your choice. Put the balance in your piggy back, save for another month or two and get the upper/BCG you really want.

    I have guided a few people down this path and they ended up with something that would have cost them several hundreds of dollars had they made an impulse purchase or purchased as a complete unit.

    In one recent example that person purchased a "blem lower" and saved enough money to then purchase a trigger (also on sale) and ended up with a solid lower that required essentially no assembly.

    IMO, the answer to "what carbine should I buy" is known to anyone that's been lurking here for years. Even if all that lurking has taken place in the photo threads, the most favored brands are crystal clear, and simple google searching can provide pricing. Buy once, cry once is a lesson paid for by almost everyone here at one time.

    My bit of useful advice, make a decision and buy it quick because scuttlebutt is the panic buying crap is starting to kick up again, and the price increases will follow.

    Ugh... I made that exact mistake and spent more than I should have. Bought a fraken-rifle (with comparable parts as Colt 6920 Magpul) from my LGS for 800 + tax; could have gotten a Colt for that money, which will be easier to resell. But what's more of a bargain (not cheap) is getting lower and upper separately, as others have said. It goes around the 11% Federal Exercise Tax required for complete rifle; in my state, we are only taxed on the lower, upper purchased from out-of state doesn't require sales tax, YMMV.

    Not sure about the market price at this moment, but anyone who was paying attention to this forum could have walked away with a SIONICS Patrol Zero for less than $700 ($400 upper+ $250 Lower @ Scottsdale Gun Club+ A buttstock) last month when all the sales were going on. While that's an extreme example, but there are ways to get high quality stuff at $800 if upper & lower are purchased separately.

    If I were to get a PSA it would only be with the CHF barrel.
