Looking at getting a couple pistols and a AR15,I have made up my mind on the pistols and would like advice on the AR15(colt ,bushmaster ect...) also will there be any problem buying multiple guns at once?

If you live in Texas and I assume that you are, nope there is not a problem. If you live in California, then you are kind of screwed in that department.
As for AR-15, I would seriously check out the Rock River Arms. They make very affordable high quality AR-15. In fact, they won the FBI contract over Bushmaster. They have nicer trickers and generally cheaper than Bushmaster, Colt, or Armalite. You can get a decent RRA AR-15 with basic options for around $800-900.
Here is their website.

+1 on Rock River.
You can find them online - they are great.
If I were to get an RRA rifle in .223 I would get the
Entry Tactical
However, just to change it up, I would check out thier .458 Socom.

+1 on the Rock River. If you are ever in the neighborhood, you are welcome to shoot mine. Take care.

LOL too bad that I will have to disagree with ya. Gas is not CHEAP. However the price of my tank of gas is well worth it to get to meet some of you guys.
I will be there on the PSC day, unless my professor decides to make me work.
BTW, I live in College Station, sometime I wish that I live in either DFW or Houston.

It depends what you want the Ar for. If it is just for fun, you can assemble one easily - there are plenty of places to buy kits/parts, and lowers legally. You can put together whatever configuration you want - nice info at AR15.com on that. I have a 16" CAR-15-style carbine assembled like that, and it prints well and is reliable and lots of fun.
If it is for Highpower competition, you are better off buying a properly set up rifle from Rock River, White Oak, Compass Lake, Bushmaster, Accuracy Speaks, or another reputable outfit. You get a decent trigger and a free-float tube under the handguard, so a tight sling (in seated and prone) does not affect your point of impact. And finer sight clicks - 1/2 or 1/4 minute. My Bushmaster DCM still shoots a lot (!!) better than I can hold.
Have fun!
Regards,
Andrew

I have both Rock River (.223) and DPMS (.308) ARs and they're both excellent. The Rock River lower has a trigger job by master gunsmith Steve Cline of San Antonio. No hesitation in recommending either.

I've build 4 off of DPMS lowers, I have 2 and my brother has the other 2. I saved some money by building them, but mostly it was just for fun. I upgraded alot of the parts. One of mine is collapsible Magpul M93 stock with a free float rail and M4 profile barrel with a few extras, and the other is a 16" carbine with Wilson Combat fluted heavy barrel. That one will most definitely shoot better than I can hold it! Personally, I'd have to say it would be hard to go wrong with any of the good reputable manufacturers. They all put out a good product. One of the AR's I built for my brother goes in his patrol car with him. The range master was leary about it at first, but they shot the dog poo out of it at a rifle class and he deemed it okay for carry.

Any particular reason or just your personal preference?
