AR system OTHER than LWRC

[SARC]

First I am not an AR expert by any means.  I have however been endeavoring to do quite a bit of research lately on them because I have been in the market for one.  I picked up today an ASA(American Spirit Arms)15 and am quite happy with it.  The fit/finish is nice and I was able to see how they were manufactured in Scottsdale.  The guys there are nice and I like their "craftsman" type warranty and the fact that it was manufactured locally so I can go there if I have any problems.  Will let you know how it shoots soon.

Sidecharger or standard upper?  I've always like the feel of their sidecharger uppers.

no kidding. you'll have to bring it to SASCO the next time we have a game there and we can pop off some rounds.

I have a stag arms upper/RRA lower (can see pic in introduce yourself threads look for my name), and I have nothing bad to say about any of thsoe companies. But, if you want absolute best quality Colt is your number one way to go, a colt 6920. Otherwise I would go with an LMT defender lower with SOPMOD and a 16" LMT upper with BCG/charging handle. Buy the upper and lower separate, its cheaper, much cheaper.  Inless your lower was approved via form1 get LMTs 10.5 upper, what i plan to do on my next build. You could always go the Noveske route, though they are more expensive then colt, or Sabre, or even CMMG. Top picks would be colt and LMT

thanks for all the input, gentlemen. A few months ago i got the rifle i wanted. A Smith and Wesson M&15 "optics ready"

I put on a Daniel Defense Rail, my Eotech 552, and most recently, this weaponlight. A Surefire M961 Xm07. I also got the Mn11 lamp for it, making it a 225 lumen beast which i cant wait to use at a night game. Until then, it stays on my Smith.
