    I don't subscribe to the whole SHTF idea either though, so if it took Knights a week or so to get me parts via UPS, I'm ok with that.
    Yeah Noveske's good stuff!!

    He did say SHTF, ETC... Alot of folks base what they do on this concept. As for me I just like parts commonality. Not saying Knights shit isn't sweet though.

    I've owned my SR15 for a little over a year and although I cannot comment on Noveske or BCM rifles....I do absolutely love the SR15. It is my first AR and probably my last AR in 5.56 that is!! Everything on it, from the ambi features to the overall quality of the componentry, is exactly what I had envisioned in my head. Plus you can say you have one when you get one!! And you get excellent customer service, I have had first hand. I just think you can't go wrong.
    You ladies bitch when you get an MRE without a pop-tart.

    Noveske from your list. But I'd also look into Daniel Defense and BCM

    Agreed...And save the coin for more ammo, training and spare parts.

    I will live under a bridge before I sell my SR15e3.

    Granted, if I came across the Noveske first I probably would have that and not the KAC..

    I've owned several AR's but from your list, only the Noveske.

    If I had it to do over again...I'd get another Noveske RECCE.

    Something to consider. How much accuracy do you need? All 3 of your choices are probably very accurate (I know my Noveske is).

    So I think the real question is why not consider a good BCM or Daniel Defense as well? Or one of the basic Noveske guns?

    This will allow you to pocket extra cash for mags, ammo and possibly training.

    all good advice so far. I'm not over the top paranoid about SHTF its just an afterthought that i want a reliable rifle that would last as long as possible without needing major maintenance/parts replacements. I would like as much accuracy as i can squeeze out of the platform without making a dmr type rifle that would be ineffective for a home defense scenario (inside the home short distances.) .. and as to iraqgunz's question, i have not put much thought into DD or BCM i will look into that. i just figured i bought an arguably shitty AR the first time so i might as well go big on my second one, maybe i'm way off base on that though.

    i dont think you bought a terrible AR, its just you can get better for the money. I'd save that AR you have for a good truck gun or something.

    Or I guess you could keep your lower and get a kick a$$ upper.

    Yes, definitely look into DD. You can get them VERY reasonable (got mine for the same price as your Stag/bushy probably) Saved me a lot of $ for accessories and ammo.

    ===============================

    I agree wholeheartedly with Iraqgunz's statement.

    I sold off several guns to buy a Noveske. I had a wad of money, so I ordered the Recon on late Friday afternoon. (Over) thinking over the weekend, I realized it was not what I wanted; I wanted a light all around simple gun. Frantic until Monday morning, I called for 2-hours in case someone was at Noveske early. Finally got someone (15-minutes before they were supposed to open) and they willingly (and enthusiastically) changed my order to the Light Recce Basic.

    I never had 1 millisecond of remorse. I have never enjoyed a gun more than I have enjoyed that gun-period. It is way more accurate than I am. (100 yd 10-shot 1-1/4" groups) - I love it.

    But that's just me. There are a lot of good guns and at least you have narrowed it down to some quality choices and have some good recommendations to pick from.

    BTW - Have you looked at Olympic Arms yet???
