    Question "Best Value" AR?

    I'm aware of the quality (and price) of Tier-1 AR's like the Colt 6920, what might be considered the "best value" or "bang for the buck" AR for moderate but not extremely heavy use? Thx!...

    I found my S&W M&P15A for under a grand but this was before Obama hit the fan. If prices do come back down to pre Obama gun sale prices. I think S&W, and I hear Charles Daly carbines are good.

    In my opinion its hard to beat BCM when you compare quality/cost.

    Best "value" you would have to be one of these three:

    1. BCM Upper, Lower and BCG.
    2. LMT Upper, Lower and BCG.
    3. DD XV

    By buying the upper and lower seperately, you avoid FET (FYI).

    Prices in my area (Albuquerque NM) seem to be moderating and there are more ARs on the dealers shelves now. I've seen the prices of the available M4 type rifles come down considerably, especially the Bushmaster guns, which are the most common here. They are down from $1,200 to $1.300 a couple of months ago to the $900 range. Those would qualify for what you are looking for, not top tier, but still a solid carbine. The S&W M&P guns are now in the $1,100 range and also are in the same general category IMO.

    No need to spend $900 + on a BM, when you can get a "tier 1" are for around the same price.

    You can pick up S&W AR's for around $850-$950 (depending on model).

    Titling your thread "To XYZ or Not to XYZ" will cause me to completely ignore your thread.

    In my opinion the beast value in ARs right now is BCM.
