GREETINGS EVERYONE!! I'm super excited to have found this site and to be a part of this community/world!! AR's ROCK!!
A quick background on where I'm coming from..not lookin to complain or askin for sympathy but just laying it out there for yall to see where I'm at and coming from..
I love guns..plain and simple and have always loved the AR-15 line, particularly the m4 build, i.e. m4a1....I am not nor have been rich in my life..and being out of work for ALMOST a full year now thank you corporate layoff's, does not help..but one does what one has to does.. IT TOOK me FOUR years of penny pinching here and there.. saving every last cent possible without hurting my family in any way!! Lot of hard work and pain to save that much $$$, but I did it.. no beers, no extra burgers when I'm jus hungry or thirsty..ect, ect.. I mean your talking to a guy that doesn't even have/own a cell phone anymore..much less have internet access at home.. BUT i have been able to set aside a nice hefty sum of $3000. Again NOT asking for handouts or sympathy, jus staing facts..and I'm/we not poor or starving or anything like that..but no way in h*LL am I close to being well off..we're talking $2-$5 scrapted here and there over 4+ years, but mainly the last 4 years..
After all that hard, work, odd jobs here and there,, I NOW have $3000 and I'm ready to jus blow that dough!!, Ready to blow it on some Hardware, the AR kind that is..
BY the way since I dont' have internet at home, I have been doing ALL my research at the public library which also allows access to PC's with internet for 1hr a day..They only have a few books on the subject but I read them call, more history of the rifle then anything else tho..so the rest of my research has been online..and at that..about 15min's a day since 45min's is spent JOB searching and applying..fingers crossed..
So here goes.. THIS IS WHAT I want..
1. a BONE STOCK AR-15/M4, just a regular m4 with carry handle and Iron Sights, and thats pretty much it..
2. A Tricked OUT AR-15/M4, AFTER serious research, my "tricked" out version seems to almost be a plain jane compared to what I'm seeing, i.e. custom build thread and show off your AR thread, <-- SUPER HOT stuff in there! Basically an AR15/M4 with a scope on it, BUIS's, and a rail system to hold a flashlight and laser! thats it..
here is a picture of it!
Thats pretty much it...I mean to me that WAS tricked out..but after what I seen...but yeah thats what I'm going for.. DOES ANYONE know whats the deal wit the scope on that? make/model, speciality or feature?
3. a Stock AK-47, I know its not an AR15/m4, but hey its CHEAP!!! Just found out by accident, but the model I'm considering is the Romanian WASR 10 AK-47, $500 and comes with 2 30rd clips, bayonet knife and mount!! I didn't know AK's were that cheap!!
There You have it folks.. thats pretty much what I'm after as illustrated in those 3 points..
1. stock ar15, obviously I want good quality
2. good quility ar15 to LATER on as time and funds permit to "TRICK" out...
3. a good OL' stock AK-47, in case of emergencies and as a backup! hey its only $500
There are so many forums and each and everyone chips in their own 2 cents.., this make, NOT that make, their garbage, THEIR the best and so on.. 1 forum worships Colt, another knocks, it, another says RRA's is #1, ect...another reason why I"m here, this seems to be ALOT better then everything else i'm seein out there!!
From my limited research, it seems COLT 6920 is the way to go.. but Colts are expensive, in Milwauke, WI my neck of the woods they are $1600+.. but QUALITY over quantity ALL THE TIME!! <- would rather pay more for quality v/s a cheapo product that breaks way to soon, needing instant replacement..
OF course I have also heard of the BUILD YOUR OWN route..and HOW that would be so much cheaper..but d*m I know nothing of this nature.. how can I as an amateur build a live "gun" ALSO more importantly..I WOULDN"T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN!!!
I would rather buy...but again I am open to BUILDING, if I can be taught, or I can easily do it and learn on my own..PLUS i would love to do it and feel that, that ALONE would teach me MAnY things about myself and my hardware..
ahh man, WHY is this so difficult!!!
Well guys.. chip in.. any and ALL advise is welcome!! Colt 6920 seems to be the standard by which all the "others" are measured.. but yeah I would love to hear about the model BUshmaster equivalent, or the S&W equivalent..ect, ect..
THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE!! sorry for my SUPER long essay of a post.. but hey man I'm just trying to learn, be a sponge and soak it all up!
peace
oNe
P.S. WHy is this Daniel Defense XV M4 gettin so much play out here? whats so great about it.. its only $1139? thats crazy cheap right?
