Re: What is a good AR to buy
First off, welcome. This site is a wealth of knowledge, so do a lot of reading and you will learn a lot. Go off asking arbitrary questions without attempting any research first, you'll get flamed.
This topic really belongs in the semi-auto section. Nose around here for a while and you'll see what goes where. It's pretty basic.
Give some more info. Budget, shooting background, what range you intend to shoot, what you're going to hunt, and WHERE YOU ARE as that makes a big difference in what you can legally own and hunt with.
To answer your question, you have Colt as one of the more respected makers of basic milspec ARs, but there are also a lot of specialty builders too like POF or Noveske that have a higher quality product.
Hey Brian, more peppers on it next time.....
