Flat top AR question.

(1/5) > >>

KGillen:
Next tax season I am planning on purchasing my first AR. I am looking to pick up a flat-top for ease of mounting an optic, chrome lined barrel, chambered in 5.56 and perhaps with a lighter trigger. I am looking in the price range of $1100-$1300. I have looked extensively at a Bushmaster but am not sure (as I have no working knowledge of the different brands available). I've shot a couple from dpms, but have heard of quality issues with these. Was wondering if anyone out there had any experience with something along those lines. I'm not looking to win any competitions, but something that will make a decent group at a decent range would be nice...having read all this I think I may be asking too much for too little. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Spikes Tactical has been getting rave reviews and it's pretty affordable.  Looks like their site is down right now - http://www.spikestactical.com/ but I think you can pick up a complete flat top M4 upper for around $500 or a complete rifle for around $700.  I have no experience with them but they're supposed to be top of the line.

KGillen:
Thank you, checked them out. I failed to mention I'd like a 20" barrel, didn't see any of those. Other ideas?

A-FIXER:
I do perfer the Smith/Wesson MP-15 over the DPMS and when I reloaded rounds the MP-15 did much better in tighter moa grouping than the dpms and I do like the quality more so on the MP than the DPMS here's a link farmerrick posted from the good deals thread and yes the prices are great...http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/cdnn/Special.jpg
Farmerrick finds some real good deals thanks Rick....

David Hineline:
Do you know that DPMS and Bushmaster and the Remingtion type ARs are all owned by the same company?
