HELP!!!!! I think I have the EBR disease!
JimP:
6.8 Rem Mag? I have heard of 6.8 SPC, .260 Remington, even the .264 Winmag.......
..... I'd like to keep the cartridge limited to 5.56/.223 ...... others may have an unobtainium component in the future......
1,400 beans is a little steep for me, 'rat, even if it IS a colt. It's probably worth every penny, but I don't have that many pennies.
xsuckafreex:
dont even stress...
i caught my disease in jan/feb when availability was bad.... (i think thats why i wanted one so much)
16" is plenty! i saw a s&w flattop magpul with flip up sights on gunbroker this morning for $999! thats a lotta AR for your $. I still want a colt tho...
AAllen:
Jim your right It's the 6.8 Rem SPC, teaches me to post before I've had my fill of coffee.
JimP:
Maybe later for the 6.8...... I want a GP rifle that eats what the .gov feeds theirs.
FarmerRick:
If you search good enough and use good, lightly used parts, you can put together a real nice AR for close to $700.
I built my "beater AR" from a $95 new DPMS lower, $55 new lower parts kit, $75 barely used bolt/carrier assy, $60 used Magpul stock, $45 used Colt A1 upper, $110 lightly used Sabre Defense midlength 1/7 chrome-lined barrel, and about $40 for misc. handguards, front sight, gas tube and other small parts. So, less than $500 in a rifle that shoots like a dream. It's pretty hard to find parts that cheap since the election, but I'm sure you could find it all for around $700 these days.
They are very easy to work on and modify/customize to whatever style or purpose that you want. Just by changing out your upper receiver half, you can go from a heavy-barreled varmint/target rig to a "tacticool-ready-for-the-zombie-invasion" rig to a lightweight, basic carbine setup in mere seconds.
