Hey guys, finally jumping into the black rifle market and would like some constructive input. Since this is my first build, I guess I'd have to say my intent is really for something totally reliable and accurate (SHTF mode - god I'm getting sick of that moniker, but there it is) up to about 100yrds. At this point, I don't think it would real smart to go for all the bells and whistles, but I'd still like to have some options going forward w/o totally breaking the bank. So with that said, here's where I'm at:
High Standard OLL (already purchased at Bay Area Gun Vault)
Option 1:
Complete High Standard (HSA-15 CARBINE A2 #HSTX6501) with all parts through BAGV (keep it local, support a great shop)
I'll just use the rear sights on the carry handle until I get some proficiency.
Bullet Button
Approx Cost $1000
Option 2:
High Standard Lower
Stag 2H Rifle Kit from AR15Sales
Bullet Button
Whatever 10rnd mag that comes with the Stag kit
Approx Cost $875-$900
Option 3:
High Standard Lower
Stag LPK
Stag Carbine 6-pos Stock Assembly
YHM Carbine Lightweight AR-15 Top End (YHM-7100); 1/7 Twist (seems like a higher quality barrel)
Bullet Button
Magpul PMAG 10 Round 20 Body Magazine
Approx Cost $1150-$1200
Does it make sense to go with Option 3, or use the little bit of money saved from going with options 1 or 2 and buy some ammo to hit the range with?
edit to add: I'm open to other suggestions, so don't be shy!
