Lately its been increasingly hard find decent quality AR-15’s at a fair price let alone finding parts to piece one together for yourself. Quite often you’ll find the ones in-stock online are of the more expensive variety because not as many people can afford them. As much as I’m a fan of many of those name brand AR’s and love to write articles about them I realize that not everyone is looking to drop $1,400 – $2,500 on a new rifle. Well, with a little digging around you can still find some decent deals out there. You have to be careful and do some research though so you don’t end up buying a piece of junk. Just because it doesn’t say BCM, LaRue, Colt, etc doesn’t mean its no good.
Take the Del-Ton RFTH16-MOE that I found yesterday on sale at TombstoneTactical.com. At just $766 it has everything you could want in a decent mid-range (quality and price) AR-15. I personally don’t have any experience with Del-Ton but I’ve heard nothing but good reports from the guys that I’ve met who do own them. If you’re looking for a more budget friendly AR this one below may be a great piece to take a look at. I’ve got the pics, details and purchase info listed below.
