I don't want to purchase something that is a piece of crap, but can't afford to spend a lot.
What is an accurate AR15 that won't break the bank?
Also, who has them and where can you get them?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

As long as you stay with a name brand there are a lot of good ARs on the market. I own a Rock River Arms A4, because it had the features that I was looking for and at the price that I was interested in paying. I purchased it at Adco Firearms, in Sylvania, Ohio (near Toledo). I don't know where you're located at in Ky., but it might be well worth the drive.

I do suggest a flat topped upper, as this will allow you a lot of options for sight choices.
If you're going to be carrying this rifle, I suggest a 16" barrel, but no longer than a 20" barrel. Of the guys that have both barrel lengths, everyone of them said that the 16" barrel got the vote when they were calling. Reason being is that it's easier to handle and just as accurate to the distances most coyotes are called...inside 250 yards.
Another place is Atlantic Firearms. I know 2 people that have ordered ARs from them and are very satisfied with their purchases.

As I stated earlier, there are a lot of good brands to choose from and here are a few (in no particular order): DPMS, Rock River Arms, Olympic Arms, Armalite, Stag and Bushmaster.
Some of the more expensive ARs are: Wilson Combat, DSA and Les Baer. I don't recommend Colt, as you're paying for the name and I've not heard all that great of things from those that have handled them.
Also, take your time and do some reading on this forum as well as
www.ar15.com and you'll be more informed on your purchase. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
