B. King's Firearms, They put together a good product at a good price. Have built several with their parts and all are top notch.... Joe

Don’t seem bad for the price.

Budget-PSA generally will be fine for most.

I wouldn’t take a free BCA anything.

theres a springfield saint victor on gun.deals right now for 750. my daughter had one that shot everytime she pulled the trigger. I know its a bit over your price range but its a solid gun.

I know nothing about AR’s. What would be considered the Tikka’s of the AR world? Relatively economical, but highly functional?
