Springfield Saint

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.

Thanks vyadmirer - I just saw this and out of stock already!

 

[Vyadmirer]

They go quick sometimes! Get on that PSA email and you’ll get the scoop but your credit card will hate you! Hahaha

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.

 

[BlastWind]

Ugh, why did I wait till now to be interested in these rifles ?

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.

They look like decent-quality offerings, but I would personally not bother with anything in 5.56mm using a 5.5" barrel. You don't get much more impractical / unusable than that. If you want a super short-barrel PDW, get one in a pistol caliber. Or, for rifle-caliber, maybe .300BLK or 6.8SPC, with at least a 7.5" barrel. For 5.56, I wouldn't go any shorter than 10.5", and that's already pushing it, IMO. YMMV.

Heres one local. Not me

Thank you Vyadmirer but I managed to pick one up we really like it. I threw a 1x6 scope on it for her.
During the search I came across a Spikes Tactical Pistol that had to come home with me as well, for this one I am going with an EOTech.

I had Arizona Firearms order my Springfield Saint Edge directly from Springfield Armory earlier this year and had to wait over a month to receive it. I have had several ARs over the years, still have a Colt M4 tactical, highly customized Colt match target competition and a Ruger SR556, rest were traded off. The Springfield Saint Edge stacks up very well and their customer service is the best I have experienced.

I took a look at the link you provided, looks like the one your looking at has B5 systems furniture, good review here - https://www.thearmorylife.com/first-look-b5-systems-saints/
