$399 AR15 worth buying

[TapcoFan]

There is no such thing as a $400 AR. This one needs sights. Plus shipping. Plus a mag. You also have to pick it up from an FFL for a nominal fee. Delivered, this AR not $400!

Who needs sights when you can just spray from the hip?

It can be done, albeit in 2 pieces. Catch PSA on a good sale and it'll run you around $370 to 380, typically free shipping, often times with a front sight post, no tax, and you can pick it up at either truprep, Cherokee gun, fourtharmory, etc for no ffl fee. You could probably find a rear sight and still be at $400. I don't really consider a mag a part of the gun as they are interchangeable and everyone should already have plenty. Even if not, sub $10 pmags are available.

I think PSA charges tax now.

They do, Stags kits end up being too close in price with PSA for me to want to save a few bucks on the PSA

If PSA ships for free, then it might be deal territory. I think those DelTon kits are a pretty good deal right now, but $500 for a Ruger 556 is awesome.

Yeah the free shipping helps offset the tax, like they have Vortex Sparc ARs for $150 which is a pretty good deal

You think the Ruger is better than M&P Sport 2?

I think any difference is splitting hairs, but I like the fact that the Ruger is available in more colors. Really wanted a gray one, but I am tapped out on ARs.

I thought the Ruger had proprietary parts of some sort?

The delta ring and the FSB, but they're not going to matter to the average buyer. If you like to swap furniture frequently, the twist delta ring is an improvment.
