Its just a platform for blinging. Buy something like you would buy a precision tool. Some people swear they can earn their daily wages with nothing but Craftsmen tools. I own all Snapon, the same tools I bought 30 years ago are still earning me a paycheck Though I have several AR15's my choice and my favorite is my Springfield Armory M1A.

Thing’s a tack driver at 100 yards. Nice picatiny rail on top for accessories. Really does run very clean even when shooting Russian (Wolf) ammo.
Sorry to hear about the mudslide. Did I ever mention that I lost all my firearms and ammo in that boating accident? Still don’t remember why I thought cleaning all of them in a rowboat was a good idea...

You can shoot .223 in your NATO chambered rifle, but don't try shooting 5.56 in a rifle that is chambered strictly for .223 ammo. The NATO dimensions are a little more generous.
( ignore 'N' - I'm pretty sure they're the same )

On the other hand -- something in basic black is not so bad either.

they *should* be...but there are rare occassions of the hotter .223 being too much for the 5.56 innards...

See here: http://www.thegunzone.com/556v223.html
Short version: If your upper is stamped “5.56,” you can shoot both. If it’s stamped “.223,” you risk catastrophic failure due to higher chamber pressure if you shoot 5.56 with it, esp. if it’s an older rifle.

lots of good info here, so the only thing i’ll suggest is get a flat top, and spend some money on quality optics.
used to have one with a carry handle, with a scope on it, and the thing was an absolute tack driver, but it was only good at one distance.

DPMS LR-308. Or if you have the extra coin to spare, an M1-A.
I have three AR's. All .223. One I bought, one I built, and one I won in a drawing. I'd trade two of 'em for a NM M1-A with a 22" barrel and a walnut stock.
The .223 is a good round to about 300 yrds, but I want something that I could possibly tune up to hit out to 800yrds and still have some *umph* left.

Excellent comments, tremendous advice, and please excuse my inexact phrases in my original post. You all gave me plenty to think about, and this turned out to be a fairly decent discussion thread....
Many thanks!

Sabre Defense. Complete rifles or parts. Made in USA (nashville). Suppliers of M-16 rifles to military (one of only 3 manufacturers). Also supplies .50 cal. barrels for the Ma Duce and the .30 cal mini-gun. I own the Sabre light and love it. 799 at my local fun shop and it came with tactical case, 2 30 rd mags, otis cleaning kit and a cheap but functional sling. BTW, they don’t just get parts from other suppliers. They make 90% of their parts in house including their barrels. 100% reliable so far (about 900 rounds). If you have a reliability problem with an AR it’s most likely due to the magazine. Go to AR-15.com for great info on the rifle!

I think headspacing and barrel install was the most technical part Barrel install is definitely the most difficult part in my experience. I've also found that barrels come correctly headspaced - at least the ones I've bought.
