Okay gun guys (and girls), I’m looking to get into an AR-15. Husband is an AK guy but he’s found an Armalite AR-15 LTC that weighs 6lbs unloaded. It has a 16” barrel. He said that was pretty much the lightest AR but that GLP was filled with gun knowledge people and see what someone here says.
Anyway, I’m looking for a lightweight AR that’s as short as possible without having to go through NFA tax stamp hassles. My price range is $900-$1200; $1200 being pretty much max.
I’m trying to get advice before I go to purchase because I’m sure they’ll think I’m just a dumb girl and they’ll try and sell me what they have instead of what I want: a short and light AR.
Quoting: Truth Brush Absolutely buy the Palmetto State.
There are dozens of AR manufacturers in the U.S. but only four actual forges that produce ALL of them.
Palmetto State owns one of the 4 forges.
Thats why they are cheaper.
And DO NOT Listen to clowns telling you to hang alot of shit off your AR.
I was a combat light infantry soldier (as were many others on this site).
You don't need any of that shit.
Buy a GOOD sling (I prefer Vickers combat application sling) costs about $70 bucks but best sling I've seen.
For home defense you may well want a small light attached to the barrel but that's it!
You don't need to spend alot on an AR (I will spend MUCH more on a good .45)
Good luck and be careful about listing to keyboard warriors who's only experience is call of duty.... lol 😆
