Well drat!
My "deal" on the Colt lightweight AR fell through and the guy decided not to sell it. Bummer!
I am back to looking around and stumbled across Palmetto State Armory.
For about 730 bucks, I can get a complete AR from these guys. Buying the complete lower (299 bucks) then buying a complete upper (about 499) separately. I already have my cousin's handle from his old Bushmaster Patrolmans Carbine, so no need to buy a rear sight.
Looking at their site, they seem to know how to put together an AR.
Their ARs come with 1-7 twist chrome lined barrels, F marked front sights, MPI tested bolts and other necessary features from the vaunted AR Chart. All at about the price you'd pay for a basic DPMS or Rock River that is missing many of these features.
I also like the idea of buying the lower one month, then buying the upper later on. Breaks up the outlay of cash and you seem to forgo the "excise tax" on buying a complete rifle and you don't end up with a frankenstein rifle of mixed uppers and lowers.
Does anybody here own or shoot a Palmetto AR?
Are they worth it, or should I just buy the Spikes AR at around 800?
I just wanted to hear from those that own Palmetto Armory ARs...not the usual "buy XXXXX instead" (I hear that 24-7).
Thanks in advance for the opinions/warnings!

PS: This is to be a plinking and playing around gun that will shoot mainly bulk Wal Mart 223 and ride on my ATV...not a match gun or 3-gun competition piece.
