So I think I got the AR bug. I am seriously contemplating a Colt LE6920. Seems to be a pretty sure fire tried and true M4. Also looking at PSA for building one, although I have no experience in gun building whatsoever, it looks to be fairly straight forward. Advantages of the Colt I can see are, well its a Colt (which may mean over priced according to some), and it would be easy to sell if I ever wanted to, warranty, dont think I would have buyers remorse, its seems to be a good all around fun gun from everything I read. Building a gun seems like it could be cheaper and just as reliable/accurate if done correctly, but I wonder how easy it would be to sell down the road if I ever decided to. As of now and for the first year I can forsee only using the steel sights and not adding parts to it. Got a few months to continue to research it before I will have enough saved. Do you guys have any insight for a first time AR.

I you don't want to tinker with it a Colt is a very safe choice.
*but*
If you can change your oil you can build an AR! Seriously, mine practically built itself. Easy as pie. Find a youtube vid on how to build the lower, you can follow along and it takes ~30 mins. If you buy a prebuilt upper you just have to drop it on top of your now built lower:up: I built my upper and it didn't take that long, maybe 1.5 hours of mostly thinking about it. (I think about doing anything too much) If you're gonna look at parts Bravo Company Or Rainer Arms have quality parts to start looking at. Palametto State Armory or Primary arms are good bets tooLast edited by DER E30; 12-08-2014, 02:56 PM.-Christian

Make a plan on exactly what you want to spend and what you want to use the gun for. Otherwise you can end up dropping $2k on an eleven pound brick shithouse AR that was supposed to be a budget build.

Or you can skip the pieces and part sourcing and just get a LMT from the get go. ;)Originally posted by FusionIf a car is the epitome of freedom, than an electric car is house arrest with your wife titty fucking your next door neighbor.

I can see how building your own could quickly turn into the inverse of a way to save $$ over the Colt. Is it easy to recoup the $$ on a built AR? Seems a over the shelf would be easier to move if needed in the future. Really been trying to read up, but I am having information overload. The common theme seems to be DD uppers are well respected by everyone, and I haven't read anything negative on PSA lowers.

I think if the parts have respected names you can part an AR out... Idk, I've never thought about selling mine though...-Christian
