Yeah yeah YAG(un)T...
I went shooting for the first time over the weekend with my friend who's a cop... he brought a bunch of his guns for me to try out. I had a great time, which I knew I would. My friend brought his 12ga with a few different types of shells, a .40 Glock 22, some S&W 5 shot revolver that was chambered for both .38 and .357, and his AR-15 with red dot, scope, custom foregrip and collapsible stock. Out of all my favorite was the AR-15. I had a blast (bad pun, I know) with that all afternoon. I'd like to look into picking one up some time soon but know very little about them. I know there's a ton of companies that make them (my friend's is a Colt) and I wanted to know what manufacturers to stay away from, who has good quality, best bang for the buck etc. I know this isn't a firearms forum but I know a lot of you guys out there are really into it.
Where's a good place to pick one up at a fair price? I'm not looking to drop a ton of cash on a totally pimped out AR right off the bat but I don't want to spend less to get a piece of crap.
Also, where's a good source for cheap/decent quality brass? It was pretty expensive shooting the AR15 all afternoon and any rec's on ammo sources would be appreciated.
