Thanks for all the info guys, I think I would rather have a metal one.

I would like to put my own together, but I wouldn't even know where to begin.

I really liked this one, and it does have rails that the colt doesn't. Are RRA's on par with colt's?

Hey guys,

I don't know much about AR's, but I'm wanting to purchase one, and and start learning about them. And eventually even build one or two. I was expecting to drop at least a grand on this purchase. I'm not looking for one with "all the fixins" for now, but I do want one that wont give me problems. Anyway, I saw this at bud's and and thought that can't be right. Even comes with a Red Dot. So, my question is, is this a decent gun? I thought bushmaster's were pretty good quality, but really don't know. Any other thoughts about this? Am I missing something?

Any insight is appreciated.
