Looking for an AR

[clay_07]

I am looking for a good AR in Austin area.

You should be a lot more specific. If you're not sure, I'd recommend you start with a lot of research. ARs come in every shape and size. You should determine what your primary use will be, and then go from there.

I would like a Rock River if I can find one. I want a flat top AR.

This x1000, start with what you'd primarily be using it for hunting, target shooting, home defense etc. What barrel length would you want, what twist rate, what caliber chambered, do you want it to be able to accept a suppressor? Hand guards would you like vietnam A1 style, a quad rail to accept accessories, free floated or not? Buttstock, fixed or collapsible?

I could go on and on, that's one of the great (and bad) things about AR ownership your imagination (and wallet) are your only limits. Good luck with your search though if you need some suggestions feel free to hit me up.

Why Rock River? Not that there is anything wrong with them. I am just wondering.

Regardless of what you want to use it for, buy a quality rifle. There are better rifles than a Rock River for around the same or slightly more money.

I've never understood the mentality that it will just be a plinker so buy the cheapest out there.

I agree with ya on that, but expect to get flamed lol. We got a bunch of plastic lower lovin hippies on this site .

Let em flame. Ive got a flame retardant suit, LOL.

Why would you buy a DPMS, S&W or even a Rock River when for the same or slightly more money you can get a Colt, BCM or Daniel Defense which are top tier rifles? You'll have a rifle for a lifetime and will actually retain value well in the event you ever had to sell it.

If you want to learn more about ARs you could assemble it yourself. This way you aren't paying for parts that will never be used.

This way you don't pay for an unused grip, stock, hand guard, etc.

 

[clay_07]

I am open to suggestions to good guns that will not break the bank.

Looks like You will be getting a new frontier plastic lower, but look on the bright side, You have a sweet ass upper, and can always get a different lower, and sell the plastic one, when finances permit.

Are you referring to the upper receiver only or an entire upper receiver group???

both of my current AR's have been built from mostly the receiver up...

my next two... (father and son project in progress in another area) are starting from stripped lower receivers and working their way up... not sure if the uppers will be 100% custom like my 7.62x39mm AR or more like the 5.56 which is a Bravo company 20" upper with some parts added and others changed outl..

 

[clay_07]

I am looking for the full upper receiver group.
