Need some opinions/ advice from some of you "gun hands"

OP...Palmetto State Armory is a pretty good source and regularly have good sales. Get on their and some of the other's mailing lists and in no time you'll have a nice AR15 without breaking the bank. Now what sights/scope to go on is a whole nother question....

My M&P shield came from PSA
Even with my locals shop adding in the FFL transfer fee it came out cheaper then anywhere else
