What are you guys, a bunch of peasants....KAC? Pffffft....what, no one here can afford a Nemo?
Asking what is the "Best bang for your buck AR" is definitely going to spawn a lot of different answers because it is so open to interpretation. It’s going to be different for everybody depending on their tax bracket, what they are comfortable with spending and what they are looking to get out of their AR. “What AR should I get for $1k, this is what I plan to do with it” might get you closer to the answer you’re looking for.
Still, it's an interesting thread with lots of different opinions. Lol, some people have even gone to painstaking lengths, making multiple posts citing the same thing, over and over again in case someone missed the fact that he has a KAC. We get it, you have an AR that most people in this thread can’t afford, no need to repeat it over and over again.
I have two Colts now, only because of Walmart pricing and a wonderful IOP, but if you asked me best bang for your buck, I wouldn’t be ashamed to say Norc.
