I like AR15.com
I think the point of most of the posts in this threads is that you do not get what you pay for with an AR15
The $500 gun is close to the $1500 gun performance-wise
The Mercedes-Benz G550 vs. Ford Escort is a really bad analogy. A better analogy would be a Jeep and a G550. The Jeep will do most anything the urber vechicle will do within the confines of the law, and out perform it off road where it counts.
