Which AR do you recommend that is MD compliant?

[Benny]

I would get the Windham, even if it cost more. The reviews are glowing for Windham customer support, pretty dim for Radical. Can be found by Google.

A little off topic, but does anyone have any experience with the Windham 308s? I haven’t seen much about them on line, but I assume the quality is similar to Windham’s AR-15s.

At the sub $1000 price point, I would go with the IWI Zion. Think of it as the Toyota Camry of AR15's.

I like my ruger ar556 bout $550 spend the balance on ammo. It works fine . Have at it!

Get the MPR version for some nicer stuff.

I also like the Windham dissipator rifle

This build has a Windham Dissi upper but not a Windham lower.

Yes, I checked it out in person today and compared it to a Windham side by side. Both are nice and I don't think I could go wrong with either.

How are these? I've always read/heard modern dissies are either ammo-sensitive or incredibly pressure-sensitive to the point of cycling "every other round" of the same lot, and the ones that do cycle have a manhole-sized gas port to where the recoil is as bad as an overgassed carbine with a 3.0oz buffer. Never bothered to dive into one because of that plus the notoriously terrible performance of the Colt 605s in Vietnam...
...but they sure do look nice.

Who has both in stock for a comparison ?

I’m shopping as well. Thanks

You’re not gonna believe but I corrected that. Twice!

Must have been the gin…

@Hibs : Atlantic Guns in Rockville has both. They had several Windham variants about $1k. The IWI is $899. Stephen is the resident AR expert.

I wonder if he's the guy that told me they recommend that new AR buyers replace the BCG with a Failzero.

This one runs great. It's not a true Dissi; it has a carbine gas system under the hand guards. The front sight gas block is not connected. I like having a front sight tower and I like the longer sight radius.

The Windham Weaponry HBC is a great gun for MD Residents. All of my customers love them! Great company to deal with

Easy button

The Windam Weaponry HBC is always a great buy. I’ve had one for years.
PSA lowers and uppers are great but they do not ship lowers to Maryland. PSA was my goto gun shop when I lived in Sc
I just did a couple of rifles with Bear Creek Arsenal uppers and Anderson lowers from ABC Rifle company.
Saved a ton of money and the M-Lok uppers from BCA a really nice. I first used the to HBAR my AR’s when I moved back to Md. from SC

Hanover Armory and Atlantic Guns are great places to start.

My Choice

I wouldn't part with my LWRC AR's. Made right here in MD. A little pricey but worth every cent. I have one of the piston models and one standard.

You beat me to it ... considering adding another Colt based on this ad.
