No tax if going out of South Carolina.

That’s a crazy good deal! I threw in $15 off your next order with purchase as well!

I’m sending this out to anyone I know in CO that have been on the fence about buying an AR, but haven’t just yet.

Like, I know it’s Anderson, but that is far and away the nicest looking rifle you’re going to find anywhere near that price point.

I'm in CO and I'm new to rifles. Is it worth it? I bought a PSA ar-15 the other month and it's held up just fine. But I've only shot it once.

Also, did they apply the silly 6.5% tax on this one?

[-]

New tax is in effect as of yesterday, as I understand. As much as I love buying rifles, I don’t see a big reason to grab this one if you already have a PSA, unless you just want a second similar one. In your case, I’d buy 3 or more stripped lowers. They’re as cheap as ~$30/each, and will allow you to build out new rifles however you want, whenever you want. Then you can make something substantially different than your PSA if you decide you want a new caliber or barrel length, etc.

iamsarro@reddit

I'm new to ARs - could you provide a link to a lower AR example? These are the parts that require background checks, right?

I'd like to build one eventually but with SB-003 coming, I kind of just want to stock up on anything. I know that's probably not the best mind set but knowing I have to pay to train to then get approval to get my rights back to purchase next year, I'd rather stock up on good deals when they come.

psilocydonia@reddit

The link in the bottom of my last comment is to a deal on them, 3 for $99.

Yes, they are the specific part that is legally considered the fire arm, so you do have to do a background check on them, but then you can have everything else delivered to your front door, no hassle.

Think of it as buying a voucher to build out a rifle at a later date, for just $33, that’s a bargain imo. I would buy a bare minimum of three. I already have 4 rifles and now have 7 stripped lowers on hand because of SB25-003. Any of the other parts you would need should not be affected by the ban, so if you have these before it goes into effect it won’t hold you back in any way.

I live in CO and the only thing holding me back has been budget.

Any reason I couldn’t get this and put a few thousand rounds through it?

I’m new to guns. In most of my hobbies if you buy something relatively that cheap it’s almost guaranteed to fail sooner rather than later.

Would I be substantially better off at say $700 budget?

Attheveryend@reddit

the anderson utility rifle is good for many thousands of rounds. I don't get why people think even shitty ARs wear out after just 1k rounds. Get a wrench and tighten shit ffs.

[-]

psilocydonia@reddit

I don’t think you’re going to encounter any major issues with that rifle. Even if a problem does come up at some point down the road, you could always replace the problematic part with a nicer one.

It’s also a good idea to buy a few stripped lowers for future builds. I got a 3 pack of Anderson lowers last year when the other AWB bill was looming. You can often get just their lower for $30, then build the rest out down the road using what ever parts you want. Plenty of guys have fancy uppers on Anderson or PSA lowers, and there is nothing wrong with that.

I know it's irrational but it grinds my gears that govt. profile barrels are the standard among budget ARs. I'd rather have a heavy, tapered barrel or a pencil barrel as Stoner intended.

[-]

Oso_De_Negocios@reddit

Stoner intended them to have pencil barrels? Genuinely curious.

[-]

Nitor_@reddit

Yes the M16A1 had the pencil profile. Rifle weight was a major concern for Stoner, and he wasn't a believer in fancy 1000m aperture sights for the regular soldier mag dumping into the jungle. The army, of course, ignored his advice for the M16A2 and further iterations of his design.

Oso_De_Negocios@reddit

My A2 with pencil barrel might be my fav. Now I know Eugene approves.

Cm15 no longer working?

Bearloom@reddit

According to last night's post, that ended at midnight.

208_JF@reddit

That is correct. It also would not have worked on the Anderson while it is on sale.

TradingDegen@reddit

[-]

F0rrest_Trump@reddit

Pretty much. You ain't getting a decent budget AR for less than tree fiddy unless it's a blem or a mega sale.

[-]

Askren@reddit

$320 is the lowest I've seen these and Anrdros for, which is a good deal considering the only thing in this price point regularly is fucking ATI junk.

For less than $400, you're getting a great project platform to learn or upgrade on.
