BassCliff deciding on his 1st AR-15, HELP!

[HansGruber]

I also have the FCP; it’s a nice little carbine. Wife likes it, too.

Add on one of their $99 lowers, and you’ve got one HELL of a rifle for under $400.

Lower:

Once he adds a charging handle and BCG.

Missed that.

Ok, make it under $500, with a NiB BCG, and a top-shelf CH.

Might as well just get the PSA that was first on the list on pg.1.

Still a hell of a deal.

If he does he’ll get the EPT trigger, which is nice, and a better stock and grip.

I have the EPT trigger on one of mine. It is very nice.

Other than the pull weight it's as nice as my Hiperfires.

Small hijack,
Looking back at the toolcraft BCG's. Has anyone used the DLC (diamond like coating) BCG? There are supposed to be slicker than a NiB BCG. On top of the lubricity also advertised as easier to clean, grime wipes right off with rag.
First person knowledge?

 

[Shibadog]

Don’t do it. All God’s children have an AR of one flavor or another. Poodle shooters are as common as pickup trucks. Get a man’s rifle-M1A

I've used DLC, NiB and super smooth nitrided BCGs like the ones that Faxon makes.

DLC and NiB are easy to clean, but DLC is dark so you can't see all the carbon like you can with NiB.

Only my Tier 4 Ars have phosphate (parked) BCGs nowadays.

I think you mean FN FAL if we’re talking mans rifle

Hi,

I spoke with my son-in-law yesterday. The family come over so we could celebrate his birthday. He's got a Sig and a S&W M&P Sport in his safe. It's been a while since he's had them out. We'll have to rectify that soon.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Remember Bass, there is no rule that says you can have only one AR. Variety, some say, is the spice of life.

Thanks! I did buy the nitrided BCG the first time from Toolcraft. There's a $10 difference in price, DLC is the more expensive. While $10 will not break me it's always nice to have first hand experience views.

Yep, that's kinda the plan. I'm just considering the best starting point.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread. I might just have a couple more questions before I get started on this journey. I'll let you know.


Thank you for your indulgence,

I have an M&P Sport 2, been solid since day one. I have to concur with a previous poster about direct impingement vs. piston, get a piston if you can swing it. SO MUCH CLEANER! DI guns get dirty fast. Far less choices with a piston though....always remember, money can be replaced. Buy something and git started!

Well, ok, if you’re into a modern look.
