Buy the Colt in the OP if you want an AR.
Thanks man, I appreciate it. Around me, even with LE discounts, Colt LE6920 is around the same price as the Sig M400... Without price in mind, would you still pick the Colt over the Sig?

And would you def pick both of them over the S&W M&P Sport?

You can buy the gun in the OP online, and have it shipped to a local gun dealer, who you will then pay (normally) between $20-30 to run your background check and hand you the gun. Local prices don't matter.

So I have a stripped spikes lower, a 10x SS scope and a $1,500-2,000 budget. I have a couple SBRs and 14.5" with a 3x ACOG. This will be a long range/tactical type rifle. Recommendations for the build?

-Geissele SD-E trigger
-Magpul PRS Gen II Stock (don't get the Gen III, it looks like AIDS)
-Spike's LPK
-BCM Grip if you like a rigid, more vertical grip, Magpul K if you like a more rubbery vertical grip, Magpul MOE if you want a more angled rubber grip
-Krieger or White Oak Barrel
-SLR Solo Lite Rail in MLOK (I just really like these)
-VG6 Epsilon Brake if you don't mind it being loud
-Atlas Bipod

Some recommend going with really complicated buffer tube systems. I've never seen a reason to do that. If you want an adjustable trigger, there are other options out there as well. If you're going to go big, spend the money on the barrel.

Even buying everything for my wife's AR on a mil discount, or taking advantage of deep holiday sales or both, her 18" SPR with a mil trigger (Geissele SSA-E is going in there this week) came out to about $950. Probably $200 of that was the cerakote, but the rest was just parts. No optic, no sighting system, just parts.

As pointed out earlier ITT, even bottoming out the price on every quality component by buying on sale, you're going to have a tough time beating the OP if you even can. If you decide to build, you need to factor in the cost of the tools you'll need to barrel your upper unless he already has them.

Go for it. I got tired of waiting 8-12 months, so I became a dealer. Now I can order them direct to my door with a one day wait

Sure, go for it.

Thing is, silencers match up really well with short barrel rifles. On a 16" barrel setup a suppressor makes it pretty long and unbalanced. So, you may want to double down and do two forms at once (yeah...that's $400 in BS taxes at once too...)

Unless it's your only AR in which case I wouldn't SBR it. You'd want to buy a stripped lower receiver and SBR it (or a complete lower or just an entire second rifle...)

If you put a suppressor on a 16" I would consider a mini that is shorter and lighter than a full size...though it won't drop the sound as much you'd definitely need hearing protection but it would also definitely noticeably reduce sound and flash


A short barrel AR type rifle, say 10.5-11.5" barrel, and a full size suppressor, is overall the same length as, or slightly shorter than, a regular old 16" carbine
