Agree that Colt is a good bet. I prefer BCM, but for $1k I couldn't find a complete rifle. This is the best I could do:

Colt 6920 with the magpul furniture, 6290 oem2 with the shaved fsb, or a sionics patrol three e would be my picks. Slap on an aimpoint pro with one of the direct mount streamlights with dealers choice of a two point sling and you are golden.

That Colt Trooper tho. Fits the bill.
Like Clusterfrack I am a BCM fan. But no likely way to swing a railed, complete rifle for $1k.
My last 5 have been BCM 14.5 pinned + LMT SOPMOD lower. The more affordable B5 Bravo stock gives same feel. Slippery slope, Guerrero.
Heh. I know it. Wonder if I could come up with the extra $ for the model @Clusterfrack suggested.Originally Posted by schüler

Or get a separate lower and this:

You’re about a month late, could’ve got some great deals on Black Friday.
If you’re at all mechanically inclined, you can buy a lower, install an LPK and stock, and slap on an upper. Depending on what you want, this doesn’t always save you much on a sub-$1000 build but it gives you a little more flexibility if you didn’t want to be stuck with the factory setups on complete rifles.
Don’t sweat it. If this is your first AR....it ain’t gonna be your last.

The LE trade-in S&W rifles on CDNN for $500 sound like a decent deal. You just missed out on two great 6920 deals by a couple of months. Gunbroker still has a few Colt 6920 Trooper rifles listed with no reserve. If you get lucky you might be able to score one for $700-800.

It's a buyer's market on the used side. I bought (and posted a thread on) the S&W MP-15 trade in DanM is talking about. Gunbroker has Colt M4s going for low $500s pretty frequently.
As long as you get one with a low profile gas block (or take off the A2 tower front sight and add one) and put one on, you can get a slim, free-float, extended handguard relatively inexpensively. Buy good guts and then you change the furniture to suit your needs.

Those trade-in M&P-15’s for about $500 would be a good start. Find a smith who does AR work of get some basic tools and learn.
Yea, I know the forum opinion on mods, I also know a ton of people who shoot a ton of ammo, in competitions including 3-gun majors, with all kinds of modded up guns - but generally not modded up garbage.
