If you’re living in Oregon they just passed ballot measure 114, which means that you can’t have magazines with more than 10rds after a specific date, and also that the cops (Like the notoriously fascist Portland Police Bureau) get to decide who can and cannot own a gun.
But there’s a loophole; Get your magazines before 114 goes in to effect and you can keep them, although you are required to prove that you bought them before the day of doom.
So if you might every want to get an AR, or just feel like it, it might be worth it to pick up a bunch of mags now and box them up with the receipt just in case.
Assuming this is a serious question, it depends on your budget. ~$500 can get you a decent entry-level AR. The ARs in the $600-800 range are probably worth the extra couple hundred. Anything above that is out of my price range and interest lol.
What do you like in that $600-800 range? Ideally it would fit those mags I bought
The mags will fit in any AR-15 and then some.
IWI Z-15 is a good value (rifle, pistol, click the Email For Price button to see actual price). I like mine. Ruger MPR is another common recommendation, but I haven’t tried one myself.
Another option is getting an upper kit + lower kit and slapping them together. The upper kit can be shipped to your front door (in most states at least), but the lower kit has to be sent to an FFL like any gun.
If the one you get doesn’t come with iron sights, you’ll want to budget 50-100 for optics too.
Ke arms complete lower.

Bcm upper.

Word. When it comes to weapons the Israelis make extremely solid, well designed, well built shit. They’re evil but so is pretty much any other gun manufacturer you can buy from, unless you can get NORINCO shit where you live. Buying weapons really shows what “no ethical consumption under capitalism” means. If you’re paying money for guns and the guns aren’t stolen your money is going to terrible, terrible people.
