Ar15????

I am new to the AR15 fan club.
Any of you guys want to give me some insight on these 2 rifles?
I am interested in the Les Baer Police Special 16" and the Sig 556.
Both are considered great off the shelf rifles.
I know you can probably build a better, cheaper one but I am not interested in doing that.
Do not want to spend over $2K either.
Thanks!

I'd recommend LMT, Colt, or Noveske over those rifles. All can be had for under $2,000.

Hang tight, and maybe join the group buy on the other thread. Can get a beautiful LWRC for just about $2K.

Why not the Sig?

AFAIK, that's the only piston gun in the group. And having fiddled with a Colt, I think I prefer the piston setup.

The Sig is DAMN righteous. And it is a piston driven mechanism.

Another one to consider is Robinson Arms.

I sent a message about the group buy - let me know.
I also have an FFL for Texas, if that is any help.
Thanks,

Buy the Sig. Get the SWAT version if you can. Great guns.

Les Baer is great too. 1/2 MOA guaranteed out of the box I think.

The Sig looks like a killer deal for what you get. I have no experience with them however. I do notice they are always a better value.
