I just want a basic, reliable AR that I can shoot a lot and rely on to always be there for me if I need it. Trying to keep it at $1,000 or less. I'll add tacticool stuff to it later if I so desire, but right now I just want function.
If you decide to buy one, here is a link to a chart with the pros and cons of each.

Comparison Chart of Major AR Brands - M4Carbine.net Forums

You can get a Colt 6920 for $990 at G&R Tactical right now and the Colt has a lifetime warranty.

I've been looking at this chart. Spike's Tactical seems like a great value and I have been reading up on them a bit. They are backlogged quite a bit right now, but I could get a completed upper and lower from Brownells for $750.

Could also just get the completed upper and put together my own lower.

I've also been looking at the BCM uppers.

Seems like most of the stripped lowers are created equally. If I buy a completed upper and put the lower together myself, this should be very easy.

Not much difference in lowers. The only variable tends to be quality control. You are more likely to get an out-of-spec lower with some companies than with others. I'd be looking hard for BCM blems. Try BCM, Rainier Arms, G&R Tactical.
