Just because your looking for a budget AR does not mean you have to sacrifice quality. As far as S&W is concerned personally I would stay away from them, they are not completely Mil Spec and they like plastic parts. Take a look at CMMG, Stag Arms and Rock River. They are all well made and will last a lifetime. CMMG also ocassionally has a bargin bin sale, you can get a heck of a deal then. The big names are not always better rifles, they have better marketing and larger marketing budgets, if re-sale is an issue then save some more money and buy a Colt.....
