Any thoughts on this as a entry/mid level AR-15?

My daughter wants one and I have not seen or even held one.

Thanks for any reply's

This is the one she just HAS to have:

It’s a pretty nice rifle for the money. I just picked up a Saint Edge pistol last week. Lot of gun for the money. I love that Maxim Defense brace.

Well now that's cool, Ill see if she might be interested in something like that.

She wants an Ar-15 for range and home defense so I said that will be great, I can shoot it with you. She said ok but you have to pay for it.

I have one. Its a nice AR with some nice features, mid length gas system, m16 bolt and others . I changed the BCM hand guard and buttstock for Magpul. The stock trigger isnt bad, but I did swap it out for a CMC 3.5 lb single stage. I got mine at Tombstone for $625. It came with five 30 rd mags and a nice soft case. I was expecting 1 mag and a hardcase.

I don’t know when these got released, but wow, have you seen the prices these are going for???? $2000-$2500.

I know those new Maxim Defense SCW braces are $550 because they use a proprietary BCG, buffer tube, and buffer, because the brace is so compact.

I was happy I found my Saint Edge for $1300 considering they are hitting $1500

Been watching but have not seen that yet. Figured they would be more but wow. May check into building my own using the same brace.
