Saiga in 5.56/.223.
Good quality inexpensive 5.56 weapon that can be easily converted to a standard "AK" look.
Price is about $325, and they are horribly reliable.
Best 5.56 weapon for the money.

any reccomendations for 5.56/.223 rifle
Alright, I tried searching so I apologize if this is a double post,
But I was wondering if there is any one on here who owns or has used (frequently) more than one brand of rifle/model of rifle which utilizes the 5.56/.223 rounds. And can provide input on their preferences and why they prefer that rifle.
bonus points if it accepts the same mags as the AR-15.
I'm partial to sig, and S&W.
thanks
PS: not interested in hearing about AK/AK variants or any thing of the sort unless its chambered 5.56/.223
PPS: I have settled on a S&W 915 as a side arm, because its almost identical to my dads service pistol which I enjoyed shooting and has been reliable for him if you have critique on this one as well please speak up.

The Ruger SR-5.56 is a good piston system to go with if you decide to go the Piston route, however, the DI system is going to be fine for most users...My usual reccomendation for folks is to get what their friends or family uses. This way you have a common base of knowledge, ammunition, and parts. From what I hear, there is a lot of good AR's brands out in the market today. The gas piston operated ones are very popular for several reasons. However, I would not buy one relatively new to the market.
STAY AWAY from the H&K...
It is insane to spend 2 grand on a rifle that our troops do not like.
If you want a piston system you can get a very good one for under $1500, like the SR-556.
