Just in case other neophytes such as myself signed up to buy their first AR lower via this group buy, and are equally bewildered by the overload of information on the topic, perhaps the BS Braintrust could provide some helpful parts buying advice.
Would appreciate suggestions of what you consider Good Value components. If I could get 400yrd accuracy sufficient to bang a steel IDPA target, I would be thrilled. Don't have any plans for 3-gun or high round count shooting at this time, but hey, you never know.
To me, Good Value is average to superior quality products that are moderately priced. If the subject were hunting scopes for instance, would not be surprised if many responders might suggest Leupold VX-2 or VX-3, as being better than some other brands of equal or greater cost that just seem to stand up to the test of time. Don't know anyone who would not like Swarovski or Nightforce to complete their favorite hunting setup, but that just isn't in my budget, and would guess others in this group buy are in the same boat.
As Brandon gets the s/n topic resolved, I would like to start buying the various parts and would appreciate the feedback of BS'ers who have already made the mistakes I'm hoping to avoid and are willing to share their advice.
