I had a ruger ar15 back in high school, really cheap, rattles a lot, Dave up and buy a good one, it’s worth it

Save*

don't know what y'all have against Ruger, but they're a good company, cheap or not

ruger ars are not very good

something something buy a psa premium unless you have the budget for something better

Save up for a good rifle

Please don’t get PSA

and also, imo canted irons are useless for a non competition gun

They’re not exactly useless but if you’re broke they’re not worth it

mainly because canted secondary optics and qd mounts exist

Thoughts on a bushmaster ar

like, a qd mount takes about 3 seconds tops

avoid bushmaster like the plague

PSA ARs work quite well

Nah

ya

It varies based off of who reviews them

I don’t wanna take the chance

what chance? they're built to milspec

@John Cavil yes that is a thermal

That means cheapest possible option

Milspec is just garbage that works

if they're built to milspec, they're gonna work

you said it yourself: "that works"

Not always though

Armasight zeus 640

There’s a difference between working, and working reliably

don't need gucci ARs for reliability, and most of the lowers are milled by the same limited set of mfgs anyway

The uppers are whah matter yeah

Alright I've got list of ars I found online. 1. S&W M&P 15/ 2. Diamondback DB-15/ 3. DPMS Oracle/ 4. Rock river lar-15/ 5. Adam's arms agency/ 6. Ruger ar-556/ 7. PSA ar/ 8. Bushmaster XM-15

But yeah PSA isn’t reliable

what, a gas tube and gas block?

the mfg science behind it isn't hard

I feel as though I’ve opened Pandora’s box with my question

Bro PSA is fine, you buy gucci and less money for optics and ammo

guns are figured out, @Poppa Sherman ; buy cheap and spend on optics, ammo, and training

as long as you avoid the freedom series

psa can be very reliable

What kind of optic then? I’m thinking a Triji acog

best budget AR imo
