Ok so I am looking to buy an AR-15 in the next little while (still saving) so far I have found the following ones below. But I am not sure which one would be best for me I am looking for the following capabilities.
- Highly reliable and easily repairable
- Easily upgradeable
- Will work with the 10 round mags from Questar
- Target shooting, fun shoots, and ipsc 3 gun matches.
- Between 1500.00 to 2000.00 (not including taxes and shipping)
- And last but not least for all the zombie guy out there ( a good zombie gun haha):D

The Choices:

Rock River AR1225 Elite 16” Barrel CAR A4, Chr.Moly 1:9, w/Tactical Carry Handle
Stag Arms Model 2R Back up Flip sight 16” Barrel
BushMaster A3 model (BCWA3F) 16” Barrel with 1:9 twist
Armalite M15A4 CARBINE CHR. BLK
LMT Standard Defender Package complete with Rear Sight, SOPMOD stock, etc

Highly reliable and easily repairable Most of them, Never heard any complain on LMT, STAG or Armalites, there was some QC issues with the other 2 at one point, don't know now
Easily upgradeable All of them
Will work with the 10 round mags from Questar All ofmthem
Target shooting, fun shoots, and ipsc 3 gun matches. All of them
Between 1500.00 to 2000.00 (not including taxes and shipping) Most of them are below this, except for the LMT (spare money can be used for upgrades :D
And last but not least for all the zombie guy out there All of them

Also, All of the contributing dealers selling these have awesome reputation (RRA and LMT from Questar, STAG from Arms East, Armalite from Wolverine, don't know about the Bushmaster...)

Yes, Wolverine has Armalites for 1075. Unfortuneately, they do not come with carry handle, rear sight and adjustable stock. Is it still a good deal ?

Ya, i think so. You can just buy a rear site and an adjustable stock, you still save a couple hundred dollars

Most people change out parts like stocks and sights anyway, if you can get an AR for around a grand and then spend a few hundred more on setting it up to what you want, then you're miles ahead of those of us who spent damn near 2 grand to get almost where you are now.
