AR question
Murdochs has a sale this w/e. Ruger or S&W MP II $500. They look similar, collapsible stock, 16", flip sights.
Anyone have experience with either? Seems to me apple vs apple but you may have some input. Last edited by barretcreek; 11-09-2017 at 07:38 PM. |

$500 for an AR is overpriced in the current market in my opinion.
I would go this route personally. PSA has always been good to me and others. http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-a...-magazine.html http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-1...ng-handle.html http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-5...ng-handle.html add a rear sight of your choice, pay your transfer on the lower and you'll have a nice platform to build off of. i've personally have owned 2 of those exact uppers and both have been shooters.

Same here..........I saw some earlier this week with both similar configurations and the exact same AR's you asked about for $389 plus..... And the shop had a bunch on hand.

Rock River is running a 20% off on all their 223/5.56 complete uppers & parts right now and they have a bunch of different one's and they are shooters.
I'd buy a Rock River Arms (RRA) upper then a PSA or whatever lower you wanted. I think that would make you a much better rifle. I guess you know this but nearly all standard service triggers are heavy pull weight and are a POS. When you can afford it, buy a RRA 2 stage varmint weight trigger and have put in whatever you buy. For $90 it is an awesome trigger. Jim D SE Texas

Our cost is well over $400 at the shop. Not sure offhand exactly. At $389 there can't be any markup. Edit to add...just checked one of our distributors, and our dealer cost from them is $550 or so for the ruger and s&w sport 2. I don't know what distributor they got them from at that price???
Nevertheless, if you want an AR, get it now. The Dumbocrats are introducing another bill to ban them. |

He certainly isn't lying. We're sitting on probably 40-50 right now. When I started at the shop 15 years or so ago, there was only a handful of AR vendors we could buy from and we normally only had 3-4 in stock at any time. Now...the possibilities are endless. Certainly you can build one just as good or better for $500 or less.

And building your own is a lot more fun than buying a stock item...

I have bought them, built them, re-built them...but currently one of the better deals as a complete rifle is the Ruger AR "MPR", at $600 delivered. Upgrades are the 2-stage trigger, 18" barrel, Magpul hardware, and the Ruger floating handguard, all nice items.

Wonder how the poor buggers feel about paying 2K+ for run of the mill AR's shortly after Sandy Hook when things were going nuts??????
