    Cheap LOL quality AR kits or complete rifles.

    Where is the best place to get a cheapo AR?
    Thomas Jefferson said in 1802: I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property – until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

    Wow. That is a good price.
    "The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them. ... Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever."--Thomas Jefferson

    That is a good price. Looking for something like that.

    Oh wow, hadn't seen that. I would jump on that if I was in the market.

    That's a good price for sure but you can beat that with a del-ton kit and $100 lower receiver. Del-ton kits start at $469 for one just like that pictured (read the description, it's got a chrome-moly barrel - which to say, not a chrome-lined chamber and barrel).

    $569 for the same thing and the quality is excellent. Put a scope on it and you're ready to go. And, you can have the barrel length and config that you want - like lightweight, middy, hbar, etc. = your choice.

    Now, add chrome lined barrel for another $45 and maybe a buis for $80 and you have a complete ready to rock and durable AR for about the same price as the DPMS.

    Assembly is easy - be sure and ask about using plastic bags when handling the detant springs.... saves the day.

    Here's one more suggestion if you don't want to build. I have heard good things about these.... but I can't say anything from personal experience yet. Scroll past all the AK's till you see the Rocky Point Guns AR-15 L.E. - AR 15 S/A. You are talking gun, cheap case, couple of mags, and cleaning kit for around 700.00. I bought one last week but got delayed, again. Should have it in my hands by March 2. On quick inspection, it seems of good build quality. I'll post what what I think about it, (IMHO of course), when I put a few rounds through it.

    Let me know how it turns out. Right now I got the .308 itch.

    Use a putty knife to depress the detent and spring for the front takedown pin, the putty knife is thin enough that while depressing the detent you can insert the takedown pin, remove putty knife and walah!

    But yes, open a paper or plastic bag infront of the spring in case you slip.

    And be careful putting in the roll pin for the trigger guard, and make sure you put it in the right hole or you can't get it out.

    I bought a couple Plum Crazy complete lowers and Del-Ton complete uppers. Put them together and viola, an AR for around $525.00.

    I've been seeing the S&W m&p15 sports for anywhere between $599-700.
    That is with a forged lower & navy barrel. It doesn't have a dust cover or a forward assist. So far 3 of my friends have bought them and they've been great. The only real downside is the moe sights kind of suck.

    Seems like a pretty good bang for the buck.
