Build your own if you want to save a little $$$. Cheap and AR-15 aren't words that can normally be associated with each other. No sense in buying a sub-par AR-15 to save a couple hundred. My "cheap" AR I'm piecing together has about $850 in it.

 

Agree with Scott.

 

If you want a cheap AR, get a bushmaster carbon 15 for $650 or you can spend alot more and get a LWRC

Do not do this. Just imaginary googling of "Carbon 15" gets me 33 trillion pages of fucking fail. At that price point you can get a cmmg, PSA, homebuild, or any other potentially functional metal machine.

My buddy picked up a dpms(I believe) from the westland mall gun show for $450 and couldnt be happier about it. I assume its not a huge namebrand but I believe its made in Ohio. He has a few thousand rounds through it and hasnt had any issues.

 

DPMS is a major brand, and in my experience is just fine for a hobby shooter. $450 is a pretty solid deal. I remember when you could build an AR for $450 about 5 years ago, it's a whole different market now.

Pictures?

 

I am thinking about picking up a LMT defender 16, but I am tempted just to build one from scratch. Any suggestions? BTW, my fiance gets the police/military disocunt at vances, so the LMT would be heavily discounted.

Fixed. Now the lurking ATF agents won't get ya for making straw purchases for the cartels.

I'm not sure what your budget is, or if you want something a little unusual, but I've got an Armalite AR180 (SA version of AR-18) from the early 70's that I'm thinking about parting with.

 

It's a Eugene Stoner design from 1963 and has some interesting features:

short stroke piston type gas system (rather than direct impingement) - bolt and carrier stay cleaner and cooler

 

hard chrome bolt

 

fabricated steel receiver - simple and strong

 

dual springs & guide rods for the bolt carrier

 

unusual quick-release scope mount system with a 4x20 optic

 

side-folding stock that latches in the folded position

Once my upper gets in and I put the lower together I'll make a thread. I got it from LMT direct, just like my MRP.
