Hey guys I'm fairly new to the gun world and I wanted to get some opinions on my first purchase of an AR. I really want a 5.56 AR but I only have a $650 budget. Which AR's are a good price for my budget? Please tell me 5.56 and .22 caliber rifles. Thanks

Thanks myglimk2. And would I be able to get a barrel with a perminantly attached flash hider? I'm not a fan of the bullpup barrel (I believe that's what it's called).

The ones Hoffmans sell are non threaded barrel versions. Also, on a post ban AR you cannot have a perm. attached flash hider, you can have a perm. attached muzzle brake though.

Wow really?? I'll have to go in and ask about that next time. The one I held was, like I said, $899 with no muzzle break.

The M&P15 that Pain has in the classifieds is a good deal.
