    $2000 for a rifle.

    I want to do a non-scientific study and see if a person had $2000 to spend on a AR15/M4 style rifle, which components would most choose?

    Please post what you would build or buy with $2K pre sandy hook. Leave out optics, ammo, mags, and training. I just want to focus on the rifle itself.

    Thanks.

    Edit: This includes factory and custom builds.

    I spent $2k on my rifle before I read at length on this site. If I had to do it all over again...one of the tan SR-15e3's add a BCM ambi charging handle and grip...done sir, done.

    I think there is a thread or two here on dream builds..if you wanted to see what we would do immediately after winning the lottery....

    You see $2000 ARs on Gunbroker all the time. Here's just one example:

    I guess if it was rare enough, I would consider it.

    I'm pretty sure you missed the point...

    If it included rails and all in that price I would probably stick with DD or Noveske or BCM w/DD rail. Is it rifle and rifle only or are you including QD attachments, Vertical Grips/ AFG, lights, slings, stocks, lasers, etc?

    Pre SH - KAC SR-15 mod 1 plus surefire FH for suppressor. Setting aside optics the rifle doesn't need anything else.

    I'm making my own point, and that is I have never spent $2000 on a rifle minus the accessories. However, people will spend that and more if it's a collectible item, and for some, price is no option. For me personally, I have never found a rifle in basic form plus upgrades that gets to the $2000 level. With accessories (optics, etc.) I have certainly spent more than that.

    If your not considering optics/lasers/lights. I would say a colt socom II/ DD m4v7 or v1 or DD mk18 or the BCM 11.5SBR with a DD lite FSB rail and a BCM CH mod 4, BFG VCAS Sling w/ QD sewn in , LMT Sopmod or VLTOR IMOD Clubfoot stock, Tabgo down stubby QD, BCMod 1 grip or magpul Miad, kac BUIS, surefire MB
