First, A.R. 15

I want to buy my first A.R. Doing some research PSA AR is reliable. Also heard the S&W. Sport series.
I want to spend 600 to $700

[-]

I have a S &W Sport 3 I i bought a couple of years ago that I've probably put 3 thousand rounds through. It's been reliable with no problems for me.

[-]

Not an owner myself but I have heard unanimous praise for the sport 3 as a capable rifle.

[-]

Both are solid choices. Run the shit out of it then upgrade

[-]

The PSA is a solid 'first' AR in that price range. I'd have no issues getting something like that for my son.

PSA is hard to beat from a value stand point.

Especially if you buy it in piece's.

And i say this as someone who has taken many ARs apart at this point.
