What to get in a $1500 AR?

There's a lot of good info in this thread. I'm going to say the new Colt is not as good as the older Colt's. If you can find an old colt then you'll be good.
PSA is alright but I would buy my own parts and put them together.
FN makes top of the line stuff. Noveske makes excellent AR's but are pricey. If you want a factory rifle I'd find something in the $1,000 range and use the other 500 for optics.
You can build a reliable AR for around $1,000. If resell is the driving factor buy a completed rifle then change everything on it. Grip, stock, handguard, trigger, this is the reason I put mine together. You're likely to change most or what came in the rifle anyways.
An older colt or bushmaster from the 90's would always be a good choice. Some of the police departments around here use rock river AR's. Not sure on quality but they have to be decent for a police department to use them.

my top 3 picks would be
BCM recce
FN Tac 2
Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 I think these are closer to 1700 but … 200 more and there based out of Georgia.

Do you have these at TruPrep? Seems like SOLGW website has been OOS for a while.
Good to know; thanks!
LWRC without a doubt. $1500 should get you into one.
