Could be a decent option.
Could be a decent option.
This is one of ASA's earlier 9mm AR's and was manufactured using 556/223 lower and installing a magazine block to accept the 9mm uzi or colt style mags and the upper is a dedicated 9mm of course. One of the great things with this rifle is you can remove the block and put a 556/233 upper and have some variability.
Rifle comes with; 7 full mags, Sightmark Plus 1x optic, magpul buttstock & handguard, 2 pistol grips-the k2 and magpul plus, a 2 point and a single point sling, magpul forward grip, M4 softcase with mag pocuhes & A2 furniture.
What do you guys think about the two AR's posted above this that I found on Armslist that are fairly close to my location?
How much did cost to put that together?@Teppodama
My Opinion.
If you're going to get one gun, get it with some useful features for the given goal, which is making Hits. That's what counts.
If you just don't have the money, don't care about hitting anything, or have a wild hair to get something then what you listed is prolly fine.
Here's my beater gun.
Rock River 2 stage trigger
WIlson Stainless Barrel with a Mid-length gas system, (covered up cause its shiny)
Longer gas system is better.
A cheap bushnell scope
A Cheese dick strap, (it fell off already)
(Hunter Town Arms Suppressor is optional.)
I like 20rnd mags personally cause I can build better positions to make better hits

This was 5 shots from 100 yards using the hood of my truck for a rest. You can see because I had no rear support my Group is drifting across. It's still Minute of Hog.

Try not to overpay for stuff that looks cool.

Thanks for your thoughts guys. Appreciate it.
ReroutetoRemain - When I saw the listing for the M&P15, I jumped online to look up some reviews. Also watched a pretty decent video from NutnFancy on Youtube. Take that for what it's worth as far as a Youtube review but he seems to be a closely respected as Hickok45 as far as knowledgable opinions. His review made it sound like a pretty decent entry level budget conscious AR.
But that's one of the reasons I ask here as well, to get information from people that know more than I do on this subject.
@Cubo de Sangre - Aside from the kit that apparently comes along with the M&P15 listing I have to admit I also was a bit more drawn to the first one simply due to the whole 223/556 lower. Unless I'm mistaken it would just take purchasing a 223/556 upper to convert that up and I've have the 9mm for range practice, learning drills and building familiarity with the rifle. That would be nice with cheaper 9mm ammo. Then convert to 223/556 once I actually have some techniques and skills developed.
I'm not dirt poor but money is always a major consideration for anything I have or plan to do with my firearms. I have more responsibility toward projects and upkeep around my house that need my time and finances to consider so while I have a lot of enthusiasm and am determined to get my kit together with pistol, shotgun and rifle I have to keep what I'm spending in mind.
All of my "gun money" is cash I save and set aside during a given month. No credit card usage...dug ourselves out of credit debt and barely ever use them anymore unless it's an emergency but we keep an emergency cash reserve for that as well.
Solid suggestion. Thank youI'd check gunbroker before making any used purchases. The AR market has been saturated but all this Parkland shit might have bumped prices back up. $450 for that might even be too much. But you can see what people are actually paying for something similar and then make an offer accordingly on any face to face dealings.

Do you suggest starting with the lower first? Complete or stripped? I imagine that most would say going with a stripped and then building it back up exactly the way you want would be the way to go, but are there pretty decent budget conscious completes out there worth looking into?If money is a chief concern then you can get a better gun that fits your budget by building it. Plus, you'll learn all you need to know about the platform. If I can do it then anyone can.
