Picked up a DPMS Sporticle at walmart the added a gas piston kit from centerfiresystems.com to it before I fired it.....bolt stays spotless and cool.
Functions flawlessly and stays a lot cleaner than my buddies bushmaster.
I like the XM855 green tip...62 gr. steel core penatrator.
I need some advice on guns, everyone. I have never owned a gun, but that’s going to change tomorrow. And I’m going to learn to use it. This AR-15 is available from Walmart, what do you think? Would it be better to go to a gun show if you’re somebody who knows nothing, or better to go to a place like Walmart?
Sig Sauer M400 with Prismatic Scope
This Sig Sauer M400 removes the front sight tower and replaces it with an M1913 railed-front gas block. The M400 provides unparalleled accuracy with a 16-inch chrome-lined phosphate-coated barrel that provides maximum durability and corrosion resistance. A 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum-forged lower receiver adds to the durability and reliability. Optic included is the Sig Sauer CP2 fixed power optic with mounting base.
Designed for use in law enforcement, military operations, the sporting field and competitive shooting
True AR platform tactical rifle
Unparalleled accuracy
16” chrome-lined phosphate-coated barrel
Superior corrosion resistance
7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum-forged lower receiver
Durable and reliable
Removes the front sight tower and replaces it with an M1913 railed-front gas block
Allows the operator to mount any optic without worrying about the sight tower

That looks like a nice rifle for the price. You’ll need to invest in some back-up sights, but you should be able to do that for only about $100 if you go with the polymer Magpul MBUS.
Screw the best. Buy several good ones. As many as you can. I hope to buy a few more soon......probably DPMS. Not Colt but who cares.
