I like my DPMS 16" lite barrel AR with collapsible stock.
Price was $648.00 at the show.OTD total was $740.00
Came with hardcase 2 mags and sling.Manual and cleaning kit.
I am going to buy another in the fixed stock 20" barrel.

Stag all the way. By far the best AR out there for the money. RRA is the only thing that comes close to being as good a value, but the Stags are the best.
As far as model 1 goes, I would advise you to avoid them. I've been very disappointed with the quality (or lack thereof) of their stuff.

Dont worry about buying the worng parts, Dave just bought two halves. They come in half when you clean them, easy as pie too. You can also buy the halves seperately anywhere that sells ARs too. Get an Ameetec lower, and then keep your eyes open for a good deal on an upper.
The Ameetec lower is one of the best deals going in ARs these days. Its literally half an AR, just get a "complete upper" to go with it.

Well I think you should post it in the open, I know I am not so great at spelling and grammer and do my best, I think it is rude to assume that because I am not good at grammer or spelling I am not making an effort, some of us are not as fortunate as others with the education we recieve, So my level of literacy does not meet the minmum I will refrain from posting further on this forum.
Thanks

It's actually very simple. You just buy the kit for whatever type of AR you want, and then you get a stripped lower receiver. You only have to buy 2 seperate things, and it only takes about an hour to put together.
Or you can get a complete lower from Ameetec for $200, and a complete upper for $450.
The only reason I didn't do that was because I live in Arizona, and I didn't want to pay fifty-something dollars in sales tax.
Here are some thoughts
#1 buying a whole gun means there was FET adds to the price of the gun. So buying the upper and lower seperate is a money saver.
#2 Midway has good prices on DPMS complete uppers
#3 Buying a complete lower is a good idea if you can find a FFL that will receive it for a modest fee.
#4 Buying a stripped lower does not really save money at first, because you have to sort of learn what works and what does not by trial and error.
