Well I feel that my collection could use a AR added to it, just to round it out a little more:D. Being totally ignorant to the whole AR world, I don't want to run out and buy the first thing that I see and find out I got ripped off later on. What I'm asking is, what is the best bang for the buck AR on the market? I'm not opposed to building one either, so a list of good components could be useful too. I had thought of a Norinco M4 to start with and build on it as I go, but after hearing about the finishes wearing and like that....maybe not.
Come on AR gurus, guide me in the right direction!
 
Parts are close to the same quality from most of the manufacturers. I would say any parts/complete rifles made by Colt/DPMS/Armalite/STAG/S&W/RRA/Noveske/LMT(just to name a few) and if you are looking to support a Canadian manufacturer you could always contact ATR or Dlask, I've heard good things about both companies.
 
With Norc you get what you pay for. The fit & finish isn't the best, as compared to some more reputable manufacturers, but the rifle shoots like almost any other.

It's hard to tell you what parts are going to be best before we know more about what you will be using the rifle for. Service rifle, competition, plinking etc
 
I would love to buy Canadian made! I did see a STAG upper that got my attention. I like acuarate rifles so if anyone has experience on that side of the AR world, I'm listening!
 
Walt @ Armeast carries Stag complete rifles and parts. He's located in NL and is a really great person to deal with. If you call him up and let him know what you're looking for he will more then likely accomidate you.

Accuracy depends on a lot of factors when it comes down to it. The shooter is the major factor, the rifle will easily out-perform you. Some more factors include bullet grain, twist rate, barrel length etc.

Are you looking for long range accuracy or just overall accuracy?
 
I liked an upper that Dlask had on thier website and ATR has a stripped lower in stock, so maybe a canadian made AR is the way to go! I'm a pretty handy guy, how hard is it to install a lower parts kit? Keeping in mind that I'm a total AR NOOB.
 
Pretty simple. Here's the guide I followed and I had never even touched an AR before viewing this.

When it does come time to install I would recommend finding a good open space(large counter-top, dining table etc) and place some sort of cover preferably something white so it makes it easy to see the tiny parts. Some are really tiny and you don't want to have to stop installing your LPK mid-flight because you lost the buffer retaining pin or something similar.

Also get a set of punches and a small hammer, buttstock wrench and barrel wrench. You don't want to be marring your lower assembly/barrel or buffer tube kit that you just spent quite a bit of $ on.
