AR-15…Do You Really Get what You Pay For?

Having been tinkering with the AR-15 rifle platform for almost 2 decades now, one question I constantly get asked by people that are new to the platform is whether it is worth it to spend so much money on an AR-15 rifle? Do you really get what you pay for? My question back to them has always been what is your budget? As most all of us question what we’re willing to spend on an item, this has always been my first question. My second question is what is important to you? For example, what is the purpose of the firearm? How would you like it setup as far as optics, handguard, trigger and sights? Many people truly have no idea what they want, so I typically will show them some of my rifle setups and gauge their interest in one direction or another. Most people I deal with appreciate this approach and it truly helps them understand some of the different configurations and can help them make up their mind.

Now back to the question of do you really get what you pay for. This is probably one of the most debated subjects when it comes to anything that’s tangible, we value and spend our hard earned cash on. The AR-15 firearm platform has such a wide range in prices in today’s world, starting from the $300-$500 price range all the way up to $4k-$5k. So do you really get $4k worth of performance out of an AR-15 costing $4K and do you really only get $500 worth of performance out of a $500 AR-15? In my opinion, that answer is truly found somewhere in the $1k-$2k range. You do get a lot for your money in that specific price slot. Think of a lot of the mid to upper tier rifles offered by BCM, SOLGW, DD and Geissele over at Brownells. All of these rifles come generally with a good trigger, hard use barrel/BCG and nice handguard/furniture. Now this isn’t to say that you get so much less with that $500 AR-15. They are very good starting points to figure out what’s ultimately important to you. Lower end rifles from S&W, Stag Arms and Aero Precision can be good values too, you just don’t get some of the added benefits of a nicer trigger, hard use barrel and sometimes the furniture is lower end on the quality or materials used.

So my experience has been all over this price spectrum. I have higher end rifles from Noveske and Geissele as well as some lower end rifles from PSA, RRA, Spike’s Tactical and Aero Precision. My experience with the lower end rifles have been, they usually get parts swapped out to bring them up in status. Whereas the higher end rifles are perfectly fine in their “as purchased” setup. This of course is one’s personal preference and is another one of the beauties of the AR-15 platform is the ease of changing out most common parts to improve or enhance the firearm.

So at the end of the day, it’s all up to you and your wallet. But I will add that outside of the $1k-$2k arena, you enter into a state of increasingly diminished returns on your investment. Whatever price you’re looking at spending, be sure to check out Brownells and their incredible inventory of AR-15s and other firearms.

Barrel swap. ODG cerakoted Noveske barrel installed soon.
