My question is, since its just gunna be something to plink with at the range what should i buy? Im not LEO... and i dont really get to the range more than once a month anyway, can i go cheap? Do i need to save some more cash and get a NAME BRAND ar? I found this at buds gunshop.com
http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/manufacturers_id/1020/products_id/411537958 Does anybody have any experience with Doublestar products? The reviews say nothing but good things with all the products on the sight i just dont trust that easy.
Any insight would be appreciated MATT </div></div>
For what it's worth Doublestar makes a very good product. They also make high end 1911's that are very well built and reliable. So, you are not purchasing something from a "fly-by-night" corporation. I don't know the exact specs on the model that you are looking at but if you are doing nothing more than plinking and the occasional range trip you will be very happy w/ the Doublstar AR-15 and you can use the extra cash that you saved to purchase an optic, accessories or ammo. I own several AR's to inlcude LMT, Noveske, Colt, DPMS, Olympic Arms, RRA and I have owned serveral others in the past. If you have them all next to each other then you can tell the difference in them. One will have a better fit and finish and one will be a little tighter Upper to Lower fit but they all have funtioned flawlessly and I have never had any problems out of any of mine to include a Model "1" Sales that I had on my registered SBR. As stated above, for plinking and range trips the Doublestar will handle whatever you need it to plus some. Hope this helps. </div></div>
This man clearly knows AR's. the advise is solid.
The Doublstar is a solid piece, only bad thing is name recognition, that is obvious from some of the posts. Most AR15 brands are buying parts from the same machine shops. therefor the same thing. primary difference it QC and barrel quality. This double star and an RRA are of similar barrel quality. I personally do not like the barrels form CMMG, DPMS or Olympic. Bushmaster has some QC issues of late so skip that brand for the time being.
