First AR - Suggestions

Do you know what kind of barrel length you want?

Do you want a keymod or m-lok rails?

Do you know what those are?

Between 18-20 inch. At least from what I've seen on /k/ that the ideal length for an AR barrel.

preferably m-lok.

buy BCM upper group, midlength gas system, enhanced light weight barrel, KMR alpha

buy any lower group, buy CMG 3.5lb drop in trigger.

buy WOTG sling or LAV sling

buy WOTG light mount

buy surefire or streamlight protac light

I've been shilling the LFA rifles because they seem to be pretty solid judging by the few reviews I've seen on reddit.

For the price I honestly don't think you can beat the LF556. It's Keymod but honestly the difference isn't huge compared to M-Lok.

If you want an SPR this isn't what you want. Build up your own rifle from an M4E1 receiver set. Black Friday is coming up, snag a bunch of parts on sale and you'll end up with a solid rifle.

I'd say if you want prebuilt, stick with the Colt or a Daniel Defense.

If you're okay with pushing pins together I'd recommend you went with a BCM 18" LW Upper with a KMR-A rail.

Any aluminum lower receiver will do.

I'm somewhat ok with building my own, for the most part. I know there's a lot of resources on building your own that's available at least that guides that /k/ has. It helps that I have a brother working on a 80% right now too.

What about this for an upper:

I'll go with the CMC trigger 3.5 lb, but any lower should be fine so long as it's aluminum?

You wanted an 18 inch barrel and M-Lok. This is none of those things.

And government profile is retarded garbage.

spend a bit more and get something from DD

>>31985982
Daniel Defense is at least 300 dollars overpriced at MSRP. The DD5V1 should really be no more than 2400 dollars. The DD Mk12 should be no more than 1400 dollars. The M4V11 should be no more than 1100 dollars.

>>31986007
ill be sure to let marty know.

the only thing that compares with DD's out of the box quality tha punches in the same weight class is BCM. with DD you pay for the better quality rails and the fact that they make everything in house.

>>31985982
fuck that

>>31986024
You don't have to tell Marty, literally just talk to a Daniel Defense dealer and see their distributor pricing. The DD5V1 is like 2350 USD, the DD Mk12 is like 1600.

If you buy direct from them at MSRP you got ripped off hard and they're laughing all the way to the bank. Plenty of FFLs out there that will take maybe 50 to 100 dollars of profit and share the savings with you on distributor pricing.

>>31986060
>distributor pricing is less than MSRP
get out of here, no way people are selling these things to turn a profit

>>31986084
There are plenty of companies that set their MSRP to something more reasonable. You can definitely build a far better rifle than anything Daniel Defense puts out for what they charge.

Realistically the reason why their prices are so high is because they have ridiculously good customer service. That's about it.

Anything else is a fucking crapshoot.
I am just trying to help you out. BEWARE anyone telling you to get anything else.
