What is the cheapest AR?

[Cuz]

I know I know, you get what you pay for but I was thinking of getting one to use as a ranch/truck gun and don't want to swing the $1000+ for some I've seen So is there such a thing as an affordable AR?
I can always add the good stuff later as I go. I'm talking bone stock, one mag, scopless, etc...

olympic are under 700 and really are decent firearms. If you can build it yourself you could get away for 600 even. Not much cheaper than that though.

Just buy the lower

While looking at getting a cheap one make sure you get one with a chrome lined barrel. I honestly think Bushmaster has one of the cheapest well built AR platform type weapons, and there are some priced below 1000. A lot of you cheaper models do not come with chrome lined barrels.

cmmginc.net and click on bargain bin at the top. you will have a couple of choices there. one with chrome lined barrel, one with 16" and one with 18". no guarantees on the brand of lower or barrel, but it will get the job done for a starter piece.

Bought my S&W M&P15 at Acadamy for 800

Why is a chrome lined barrel needed? Wont warp or something?

The bore is much easier to clean. The bore is much more resistant to corrosion and pitting, and the barrel can survive not being cleaned as often. Extraction and feeding reliability is enhanced. The barrel lasts longer.

Uppers, lowers, etc... I'M SO CONFUSED!

I'm with ya, Cuz. I want to get in on the black gun craze but the lingo and millions of options available have my head spinning.
