Trying to get into shooting and I want a recommendation for what

>>32450351
ar15s in general are great guns. easy to shoot, affordable, ergonomic, and plenty of customization if thats what you want.
everyone is going to tell you thats a bad deal. the thing is, its certainly not a great deal. its a buyers market for ar15s and theres no excuse not to get a great or even good deal right now.
>tldr
you can do better if youre willing to search

>>32450381
everything he said is true. check out Palmetto State Armory, they usually have pretty good deals on AR stuff. watch some youtube videos and google more about ar15s, see what you really want. check out the ar general too here and you can see how customizable they are and maybe how you'd want yours to look

Just piece together a kit online and grab a lower locally. You'll get better specs if you put it together yourself for $600

Yeah I have to agree with everyone here. The only real reason to buy a complete rifle these days is if it's on super sale or is some Gucci AR that can't easily have it's parts sourced like I did with pic related. (ignore Butch and the filename, was for a different thread)

This, however, is not that situation. DPMS ARs are entry level at best and some would argue they're inferior to say an M&P-15 sport 2 which can often be had for under $600 and come with front and rear sights already installed.

Oh, and that rifle in your picture retails for $650. If you pay $600 for a used one, you're not getting a good deal. Save $50 more dollars so you can have a warranty and guarantee bubba didn't give it a "trigger job" or something else stupid.

DPMS ARs are alright rifles for what they are, but I wouldn't buy one used for that price.

Truthfully, if you want an AR, you should just build your own. You can do a basic one for $500 or so. Plus, I think it's a great experience and you have a "deeper"connection with your rifle since you know exactly what's in it and how it was built.

lol I started off with just a glock and then was immediately handed an semi auto AK47.

Those are fucking garbage and that's way overpriced. They were $469.99 on black Friday, brand new. Just do what everyone else was saying and check out palmetto state armory. You can find complete kits for $379.99 shipped, and buy a stripped lower elsewhere(Cabela's has Anderson lowers for $49.99). Just avoid PTAC. Btw, wait for sales! Sign up for their emails and wait for the right kit! You can make them ridiculously cheap, and they won't blow up after 200 rounds.

What am I looking at here, and how do I remove without ATF shooting my dog

>>32450896
some kind of brake. is the rifle from a ban state? do you see any welded spots? how long is the barrel?

>>32450915
Not a ban state and with the brake it's 16 inch, I think it's welded in.
