New ar15, what to get

[davsco]

Want an ar to leave at my vacation home. Prefer (this time) to just buy vs build. Don't want to spend jp money on this one. 14.5 + pin&weld. Needs to be very reliable and sub moa (yes I do that with ar10s and 15s). Lighter weight.

I haven't looked around in a while. What fills the bill? Geissele, armalite, Daniel defense, m&p, etc? Thanks.

I'm more of a piston guy but you are welcome to try out my pws and pof uppers to see if they are your jam. Pm me if you wanna check em out at pntc sometime.

Thanks!! I do have a lwrc m6a3 piston back home. Just looking for a lighter ar that works and is accurate (just because...) and is less than a jp, ifff all that is possible...

Redlion above posted BCM and they are indeed quality. When we had em as.classroom guns, though, they rarely bested 2moa even with good 77gr mk262.

My pws mk114 mod2m is not that much different than a DI of equivalent barrel contour and configuration. The POF (gen4) is lighter than the early gens but still a bit heavier than a DI.

Personally, nowadays - probably a Geissele.

Geissele will be a little better to a lot better on the accuracy. BCM is proven for durability and accuracy is good enough for most needs. I have a few older one's that will do 1-1.5 MOA but most are around 2.

LMT MRP is worth a look, they have various caliber, barrel length and upper options.

Right now if I were not doing SS, I'd go with a Geissele barrel over a DD or FN (Hodge, Noveske n4, etc).
Hodge/Icon/SOLGW Drive lock or Hodge SLock rail
Pick your G$ flavor trigger and run it with a Vltor A5H2/Green Springco.

It's hard to turn down G$ stuff on sale now, but if I had to pick a single gun right now, It'd basically be a Sons MK1 with a Geissele CHF Hbar stuck in it

Another vote for BCM

I like me some ADM with their ambi lowers, criterion barrels, and radian accessories.
