I'm looking at getting an AR. I just want something low end. I probably want to spend around 600-700 dollars. What are ya'lls thoughts and suggestions?
I have seen the carbon 15 at academy.

I'd pass on the carbon and get a Spike's or Palmetto State in that range.

For that range, just as the guy above stated, go with a Spikes.
There are a few dealers on here who sell Spikes(or rifles they build themselves) for damn good prices. I'm sure they'll post in this thread soon enough.

I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

Look up Morgan at Dallas Shooting Supplies on this forum, he could probably get you in a brand new Spikes M4 for a little over your price range. Even if you have to save a little longer you will be glad you did for the price range Spikes Tactical beats all entry level AR's.

When I said low end I meant price wise. I want to get the most for my money...
I might look at doing a build but i have no experience/knowledge of these things.
Any thoughts or suggestions on doing a build/kit??

Any thoughts or suggestions on doing a build/kit?? If your going to do a kit, you will need specialised tools. If your just assembling the lower and slapping on a complete upper, its pretty simple. Edit: You will still need an armorers wrench to do the lower for the buttstock.

Don't know why it would be a headache. Took me 30 minutes to put together and it was my first AR.

not trying to hijack but it's a question k-flex should know also. What about twist rate and type of barrel. How do you choose one for your needs?

Nothing at all wrong with PSA, I have some of there stuff and love it.
But for someone not wanting to assemble one you can spend just a little more for a Spikes and get a sight, heavy buffer, pmag and resell is higher on the Spikes.

You have to decide how heavy of a bullet you want to shoot. The 1 in 7 and 1 in 8 twist barrels will stabilize the heavier bullets better than say a 1 in 9 or above. So, with my Spike's 1 in 7 twist I can shoot the 75 grain BTHP's with no issues.
Glock: It's like a hammer, not very pretty but works when you need it.

You don't need an armorer's wrench at all for the lower--just use some blue locktite and you're good to go. Or use a PWS buffer tube, which is the ONLY buffer tube I will ever use.
