KABOB; What's your opinion of Double Star AR's?
From what I hear Double Star isn't bad, although I've never personally handled one of their rifles. They and Del-Ton are sort of the unknowns for me. They aren't as easy to find/as popular as alot of other similar quality rifles. They're probably a Tier 2 gun (maybe slightly below Stag Arms and Bushmaster in quality), although honestly I just don't know...I'd do your homework on 'em before buying.
I've got three small pin Colt 6920s and a BCM midlength at the moment, if I were to buy another AR today it'd probably be a new Smith & Wesson M&P. With the price they've been going at lately they are a hot item (I want to say I've seen them as low as $700-750 for the A3 w/carry handle). Last time I checked S&W was offering 5 free P-Mags (best magazines you can buy ATM) with any rifle purchase, although that deal may be over as well.
For those of you buying an AR-15 the first thing I'd do is read this. Note, since he released the review jwise released a statement saying that CMMG's quality had taken a dive and he couldn't recommend them until they got their act together. He's also mentioned that S&W is lightyears better than what he reviewed, although I don't know if it's to be found in that thread.
Then I'd call CDNN Sports (800-588-9500) and ask if they have any sales on S&W's.
