Recommendations on a 14.5 p/w or 16 AR.
Mid-upper tier. Leaning toward a DD ddm4v7 or m4a1...Mostly because it seems they can regularly be had in the 13-16 hundred range.
Open to other brands, but I like a chf barrel and my perception of Daniel Defense, as a company, is quite a bit higher than most other manufacturers in that price range.
No particular reason, really.
My other AR's have been either PSA kits or builds I frankenstein'd together out of mostly Aero and Aero-tier parts. And, frankly, they've been perfectly adequate performers and generally reliable. No complaints.
Just like the idea of having something nicer and can have a touch more faith in, I guess.
