AR 15 rifles
 

My sons is home from Marine Corp boot camp and was talking about maybe buy a AR 15... He wants one of the carbine types with the colapsible but stock... There seems like a few different makers out there... Who makes the best quality one??? We were looking at the S&W M&P version:)

You can not go wrong with the name brand AR's. I do feel the Colt is over priced.

Tell your son that I thank him for his service. Tom.

Rock River Arms. Nuff said.

Can he take it with him to IRAQ or Afganastan? If so I would suggest something more like a shotgun because he'll already have an M16 unless he's going to shoot the SAW. If he just wants something to practice with he only needs a .22 but hey, there's nothing wrong with wanting. If he's accurate on out to 200 yards with a .22 then he'll be deadly with the M16.

Good luck to your son, godspeed to him, and I appreciate what he is doing. You should be proud!

Outstanding post! When people ask which car to get among a Porsche, Corvette, or Ferrari, I always point them towards a chevy cavalier or used ford pinto. Afterall they are all cars and do the same thing.[8D]

Seriously, I would consider a Rock River Arms mainly because they use milspec buffers and offer a high quality product at a relatively good price.

IF HE IS ACCURATE TO 200 YARDS??? Did you really say that. Man he is a MARINE. I am sure he can dot your I's at 200 yards.

I agree with the Rock River. I have a varmint model that shoots under or right at two inch groups at 300 yards. Tom.

I have a Bushmaster, and its ok. Had some initial jams with cheap ammo. Goverment ammo works great. I would recommend the rock river too if your looking for accuracy without the chrome lined barrel. Just regular go out and bang, bang, I would recommend my bushmaster shorty carbine.

Will do...

Thanks for all the advise... I'll prob look at the Rock River

Tell the young Marine thanks for his service to the USA. Stag Arms makes a very good AR-15, i love my left hand Stag Arms rifle.

Ditto. Did months of research and question asking before i got mine, and i bought the RRA Tactical Entry.16 in barrel, collapsible stock, prob pretty close to what you are looking for. I love it.
