  1. Bcm bfh upper/aero m4e1 lower is the best rifle for the money you can buy in my opinion, add in c/h, optic, sights, light, sling, handstop/vert and your g2g, my 11.5 bcm bfh aero combo is rock solid!

  2. Every year the generic saying is 20 million AR’s in the US. I don’t believe it the amount of manufacturing these companies produce (especially over the last decade,) and product that gets released. I won’t be surprised that there’s north of 100million+ out there.

  3. First AR I got was a radical 16’ for 500 bucks. Have put 2500 rounds through it since January. Absolutely amazing rifle for cheap. Would rather have money for a shit ton of ammo than a slightly better rifle. Ended up biting the bullet on an eotech that’ll last me a lifetime. Once I blow out this barrel I’ll just get a new barrel and put another few grand of 55g through it. next rifle I will get is a stag arms ar pistol and it’ll end up being my bedside or bag gun 🤷

  4. As a lefty you can do the ambi safety AND ambi mag release. That's the minimum. That way you have total control of the gun with the left hand. If you want improve that get a fatter bolt release like a Gisselle Maritime or CMMG Zeroed bolt catch.

  5. I feel the benchmark minimum should be a BCM or Giessele Super Duty. My opinion of an entry-level AR, which every American should own, is something of a duty grade. Anything of lesser quality for your first rifle is a waste.
