[@bench175]

Wow good deal

[@Krazeuh]

I just got my first ar. Anderson AM15 Utility. I fitted it with magpul furniture all around.

[@bench175]

Congrats. Hard to go wrong with magpul

[@mat467]

Literally same

[@FlameVell0]

would you recommend this rifle for someone like me who wants to get their first ar-15? i just need something reliable and the bang for my buck

[@bench175]

I saw a couple bad reviews, but mostly good. One bent charging handle and one failed bolt carrier under 100 rounds. If 400 is the top of your budget then yes, but if you can do 1k then google AERO PRECISION AR-15 5.56 16.3" PRO RIFLE KIT at BHA

Stock has a QD point, nice. Does the hand guard have QD? Looks like a good deal.

[@bench175]

No QD on handguard

[@dennischi6107]

Well how accurate is it? The other reviewers seem like they are shills and Mr. Guns and gear and Honest outlaw don't want to review cheap stuff. BTW i bought an Anderson barrel from P/A and it shot like crap. 5" at 100 yards off bags and with a scope. They sent me a new one after 8 weeks, the new one is 8" at 100. 3 PSA builds, 2 BA barrels, 1 Faxon, 2 WOA, 3 S&W, 1 Zion, 1 DPMS and 50 FN's at work. Everyone of them shoots 3.5" or better at 100 yards.

@dennischi6107 Thanks for heads up. Unfortunately I got a good offer on the Anderson and sold it before I got to check. What ammo did you try in it?

[@dennischi3746]

Federal m193. I know its 3moa ammo but every barrel and rifle i listed does anywhere from 1.5 to 3" with it with mulitiple 5 shot groups with 20 different barrels. Most ar15s i test do around 2.75" with it. I get it free so thats what i practice with.

[@bench175]

@@dennischi3746 It'd be awesome if you uploaded your accuracy tests. I'd definitely subscribe. Those are nice groups with M193

[@matthardin1707]

They are on sale at my local Sportsman Warehouse for $379...no FFL. Do you think it is worth it for a first AR?

[@bench175]

I can't imagine you would break it within a few years (assuming nothing comes broken like my charging handle), so if you can save for a better AR in that time I say yes

[@WalterLitwinko]

Yes go for it
