I came here to post this.
CMMG's bargain bin rifles are fantastic from what I've heard (for the money). They (CMMG) claim minor cosmetic flaws, but most people say theirs are vitually blemish-free.
And $570 for an entry level AR? Hell yeah.
I think I'm gonna pick one up for my first AR, while I build up an SBR for my first build. Something I don't really care if I beat up, or a loaner to friends if we go shooting.
