I didn't see how recommending an expensive rifle suited what I perceived he wanted for his wife.

    So maybe you could add some coherence to your sentence.

    Just a joke about the rifles that get reccomended here, no matter what you say the cheapest rifles that are blessed off by m4c are $1,000.

    Wrong- the rifles that get recommended here are ones that closest meet the standards of reliablity and quality. It just so happens so many carbines price out in that category.

    Myself and others have shown several times that one can build one for under 1000.00 if you exercise patience and use your brain.

    Be careful what you wish or pray for . . .

    Naw, I am not that jaded. The current girlfriend is a blessing, but she is not in firearms. Thankfully she does not care if I own them. Eventually though I will be thinking SBR for her though . . .

    For her? Excuses, excuses... Just kidding, but it's a reason, and I know I use everyone I can think of.

    I agree. Lots of nice lowers on the market that are very reasonably priced and I'd choose any of them over a Plum Crazy composite lower. Having said that, if you're just shooting the weapon for recreation and not placing heavy demands on it, like bump firing then you might consider just using what you have for the meantime and upgrade later.

    I never hear complaints that having to spend more than $1000 to get a reliable automobile, I guess we've been labeled as the quality nuts on the AR web simply because the members' mean round count in this board has imbued us with different information than the rest of the shooting community... and I'm dragging that average down probably.

    Huh? I didn't know you could buy an automobile for less than $1000, much less a reliable one.
