The Best AR-15s Below $1500 (Top 5 Fight)

I have had alot of success with Diamondback Arms AR platforms in both the AR 10 & 15. You should give them a try

Definitely Alek #1 for sure! Any gun I buy I’m always changing something to what I like or prefer. That’s just more money out. Build what you want how you want.

LaRue Ultimate Upper and done.

How is the Ruger MPR not on here?

You guys are the best!!

Watching this video makes me re-think the $2500 I just spent on a BG Defense/Type-A Contractor/short stroke piston….nope just kidding! Still waiting on it to be built, I bought it cause I shot my buddies & it’s as nice as any I’ve ever shot. OSS titanium can is in ATF jail…can’t wait!!!

Goodentight…like German virgins?

kp15cdr?

Alright – Clint and Alek, Radian Mod 1 or Kac Sr-15?

I learned on how to shoot and I rebilt my Norinco SKS now I think an ar-15 will be my next project to work on. Thanks for the info on decent budget AR-15 guy

I think POF minuteman is a good entry AR 15 too!

5. stag arms cause you gotta support local business
4. colt cause carry handle and m16 a2 clone baby i carried an a2 for a long time defiantly on my bucket list
3. im a Springfield guy soo Springfield
2.gotta go with aero . my ar has an aero lower and its fantastic
1. custom builld is my pick

I wasn't aware of the Zion-15. Looks interesting

Good timing for a very relevant video. I had lost track of the better brands over the last decade.
You both are active military? Good video dudes.

There is a 22 LR scare clone for sale at my local gun store ergo is identical 22 is lighter but ergo is same and the 22 is under 300

Good segment guys!

the northwest makes some great products, not that the others don’t. we have quite a few builders/manufactures in oregon and washington. those rails from aero are so slick. great video and can’t go wrong with any of them 😎👍🏽

I git a 2 stage nib psa lower and built my upper with kak comp, radical 15" mlock hybrid rail, wmd nib X bcg, faxon 16" heavy fluited qpq 416 R stainless 223 wyled 5R barrel, and ambi tribe charging handel.

I like the BG Defense Type A, I think it’s the best AR-15 that nobody has heard of. They are light, reliable and have an awesome trigger. They also come with an awesome rifle case that can hold two rifles.

Alek is talking about the saint victor, I have one and it’s 100% worth the price, I think msrp is $1100 and that thing shoots freakin amazing.

SOLGW SOUL SNATCHER EDITION M4-EXO2 M-LOK Rifle 16″ Black | Special Soul Snatcher Edition…. $1,399.00 probably a much better rifle than any on this top 5 list imho.

The FN 15 tac 2 carbine is a amazing rifle, sorry but Alek wins this round

Detent pin flying comment. So, I get funny looks when I tell folks to sit in their bathtub, close the curtain, plug the drain, and thank me later. Then they do it. Their pin flies, they find it in the tub and they then understand why I recommended it 😆

Do you guys have a video on comparing barrels like 4140 vs 4150 chrome lined vs nitride

Both lists are great.

Love my 12.5 Zion it's been nothing but an absolute beast since I've bought it but I do agree that for 1500 you could build a better rifle, but that's to be expected considering I payed just over 800 for my Zion.

I agree, not interested in an 80%. My skill set is not there.

What tools do I need to get to properly build/assemble an AR?

Really think when the optics that are on these firearms are more or as much as the gun.

The Springfields are pretty hit or miss.

I honestly like my Core-15 Scouts more than I like my le6920 I bought used 😬

Colt.

Wish you would check out sword. They are some of the best.

I got my Saint for under a grand like 4 5 years ago great gun changed the stock pistol grip and hand guard

100% best AR for 1500 or less, the one you build!

No SW MP? Rip me then.
