I’ve had both, start with a ar

Cheaper and easier to learn

It’s better for most situations

And they’re still reliable if you get one that ain’t a PSA or something

Is Gunbroker a good site or should I shoot for an actual gun shop?

I bought from there

It’s fine you can find some deals there

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/865261188

I’m no where close to being able to afford a gun with my shit pay and no job rn, but I’m just trying to find a price range and type I should save for

That’s a cheap price but also a cheap gun

Save up for a good AR

Like 1000-1500?

At least spend around 500-600

You can look into it, but don’t trust your life to something crappy

Then put good parts and optics in

Buy once cry on#fw

Once

^

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
