personal | 04/01/2019 | self

Posted on 04/01/2019 7:27:35 AM PDT by panzerkamphwageneinz

I am considering purchasing an AR15 .556:

American Tactical Imports Milsport 5.56mm Optics Ready Semi-Automatic Rifle with KeyMod Rail

Can y'all tell me if this is going to be a good decision?

I started with a cheap AR...Then I realized all the upgrades and aftermarkets you can swap out, and how you can buy uppers of different calibers for a single lower, and how you can start to build your own uppers and lowers with custom parts, etc, etc...Its addictive...and will cost a whole lot more than you originally thought and you will enjoy spending every spare penny of your money on it. LOL.

Too big for concealed carry.

I think a little more info for analysis would be helpful. Got a link? What kind of money are we talking about?

Often range and penetration are more important than pocketability.

Ok, so BEST, I’d say Daniel Defense. But this is like saying a Ferrari is “better” than a Toyota Camry. May be a true statement, but what do you really need? Daniel Defense or Bravo Company are like the Ferraris of firearms, when maybe you just need a Toyota or Honda.

A reasonably priced Smith & Wesson, or a SIG if you can get a good deal on one, may be what you need.

Most people don’t need a $4000 rifle. They need a $600 rifle and $3400 in classes.

Have you looked a bull-pups? The Tavor series is especially nice!

`Look, you are still wrong. The Twin Peaks motorcycle-enthusiast shoot-down by an oppressive and tyrannical police state is still wrong and the most evil thing to happen to America.

It won’t do you any good if you have to leave it at home.

Best AR15? There is no "best" AR15. There are lots of variables, lots of different combinations and weights to various priorities and constraints.

You'll probably need to provide the experts here on FR (which I am *not* one of when it comes to AR15s) more information on your intended use(s), budget, pertinent laws in your area, etc. Then you'll get a virtual avalanche of advice on manufacturers, barrel lengths, twists, buffer tubes, upper/lowers, direct vs piston systems, optics vs open sights, "furniture" such as stocks/grips/rails, lights, slings, ammo, mags... Yes, I'm not an expert - I only know enough to know there's a ton I don't know about them - other than the off-the-shelf one I bought years ago is a lot of fun to shoot, not so much fun to clean. ;-)

Yup, me too, personal customization is what makes it such a great platform.

I don’t know anything about guns but if I did know something about guns I would suggest getting a Colt model LE6920.

American Tactical IMPORTERS?

Seems a non sequitur to me. Who needs an imported AR-15 when the very best are all superb American made product lines. This is one place I would skip on an unknown company with 'importer' in its name.

The best one is the one you built yourself

Start with a PCR-80 and finish it to your specifications

ATI Milsport are aluminum lowers. Watch out for lower prices ATI Omnimax rifles which have a polymer lower.

Keymod handguards are less desirable these days than an M-Lok handguard. Accessories for Keymod are being phased out, while M-Lok is expanding.

If you are looking for low cost with decent quality, I suggest you check out Palmetto State Armory.
