so i borrowed an r-15 on teh weekend for a 3 gun match and i absolutely loved it. anyone have an advice for me before i go out and buy one?:ar15:
 
If you can live with the "Advantage® MAX-1 HD™ camouflage", go for it, it's a decent rifle. Although keep in mind there are ALOT of other options in the AR world...
 
I have been shooting one competitively out to 500 for a while now. I would argue that there is no finer AR for the price. What kind of advice are you looking for?

I am not sure what your 3 gun course of fire is, but if it is all close in, you will probably not want the long barreled one.

Thats been my problem, I just can't see myself buying a totally camo AR, everything else option wise is spot on for me but the camo...
 
For the money they seem very hard to beat.
There is also a certain pride in beating the big dollar people with a rack grade nothing special rifle. That said a fog of paint would be in its future.
 
i personally like the camo. i'm not really interested too much in teh looks of a rifle more on teh performance. like i said it worked flawlessly for me over the weekend and i really enjoyed it. i was just wondering if anyone had anything really bad or really goot to say aout it. and for a brand new AR complete and ready to go for 1200 isn't bad at all. i dont need any fancy bells ans whistles. it'll get a red dot or a low power scope and thats about it. it's between that and a norc m4 and i think i'd be much happier with a remington. i've used both and there is just no comparison. now should i get the one with a colapsable stock or no?
 
Collapsible stock is good if you like to keep your LOP constant over a range of different clothing that you could wear through the seasons.
 
ya that's what i was thinking too. the one i used had an a2 stock on it. it worked well becasue i could get a nice cheekweld, on my sks with a colapsable stock i can't get a very good cheekweld has anyone used the stock remington colapsable is it comfortable as easy to get a nice weld on?
 
If you are wanting to shoot CQB type stuff get the shorter model with the collapsible stock. If you are wanting to do more accurate rifle type stuff, get the full length.

The R-15 is way above the norcs in terms of fit and feel, as well as design. The norc fire control is not even close to what I received with my R-15, and the norc does not have a free float tube.

As far as really good to say about it, that is me. I have shot my r-15 from below -30 to above +30. Dry days, and days when it was snowing or raining. Some days well more rounds down pipe then many shoot in a year. I mostly used it in precision aimed fire. I have ran it spotless, and skanky. Nothing odd happened at any point in this.

Will other ARs do this? Sure. Can you find another one for anywhere near the price? I doubt it.

Even if you decide that you need more precision from it, and put a krieger on it, or need rails, and put a rail on it, or need a better trigger, and put a gieselle on it, you will still come in under the price of other rifles.

Get all hooked up, then start heading up to calgary to shoot service rifle with it out to 500m. http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=374702
