I'm a Realtor and an appraisal can vary. My clients have paid anywhere from $400 to $700, depending on the company etc. I'd be happy to run some comps and tell you what its worth. I won't charge you anything and I use the same process as the appraisers. Just let me know!

I manage a couple hundred homes in the area and sell quite a few as well. If you have any questions or need someone to help you find something I'd be happy to help. Just let me know. As far as the area goes, there isn't a place around where you can buy a better home in a better area for the price. My rental prices are higher than what a mortgage would be on the same house. This is just the current market. It's very good for people looking to "buy at the bottom".

Looking to upgrade from the Glock 26. Wanting a .45 that I can carry, so probably a compact. Open to any suggestions. Would love a 1911 and don't wanna break the bank, but I also like the XD. Thoughts?

I'm not sure exactly what that is, but I've seen it a lot. I did just take the lady shopping and felt weird carrying. I did find out that it's a little hard shopping for clothes wearing a shoulder rig.

Class at Guns N Leather on 11-13-11. Application and fingerprints on 11-15-11. Got my permit today 12-5-11. Not a bad turnaround I think.

Thanks a lot, Jon. That puts things into perspective a little. Now I'd like to talk brands. What brand do you guys prefer? I like the Bravo Company stuff, but it all seems similar to me. What parts do I need to spend money on? Some of these things seem like the quality doesn't matter, but some of it obviously does need to be quality stuff. Thoughts?

Understandable on all points. Do you guys know a reliable place where I can get a complete list of what I'll need and tips to assemble it? I'm probably going to go with a 16" barrel from what I've been reading, but that's not a major concern to me. The major concern is building a rifle and it not shooting at all. Does it make financial sense to build or just buy a base model (S&W optics ready) rifle?

I'm the same way; I like to tinker. It interests me to say that I built the gun. I'm wanting a possible long range rifle, so i'm thinking 20" barrel, even though I originally thought that might be a little long. Thoughts? I've also come to the conclusion that I need a 1/8 twist just because that seems like I'll be able to hunt with it and shoot at the range and not run into any problems. Am I right? My only issue with building vs "putting together" is that I'm not currently sure exactly all the parts that I'll need for the rifle. I know what I want it to look like externally, but internally I'm at the beginning.

I grew up shooting normal ol' country boy guns, but I recently shot a friend's AR and fell in love. My first question is simple; should I build or buy? It looks fairly simple to do, but I've never done it before. Any advice at all? Also, if you have a sweet AR for sale I'd be interested.
