hi /k/
im a newfag and want to get into shooting guns. I have a grandfathered .22 rifle and a .38 special revolver. I'm looking for a mix between a range gun and a home defense gun. I only have around $600 to spend and not much more for ammo. I was going to build an AR15 but on an early thread /k/ommados told me otherwise.
advice? Am also looking for a cheap plate carrier if anyone has their two cents to give.

AR-15. You can usually find/build 'em for about $500 at the lowest. Then 3 magazines ($30) and ~240 rds ($70).
Otherwise, get yourself a Mossberg 500 and some buckshot. You can also pickup some .38 Special defensive loads but I'd advise you against using an heirloom for defense. (Mostly because said heirloom will likely spend the remainder of its life in an evidence locker before being lost/stolen or destroyed.)
How about an SKS
Semi Automatic, Relatively cheap(between $500 and $700, nice for the range
Have a look at Norinco ones

If you're banking on the cheap carrier and plates to actually use in an actual life or death situation rather than range/dress-up/etc, then either save up for an actual carrier ($150-200 for a basic carrier) and plates or spend money into something else.
As for the AR? You can defiantly put one together for $600~ but you'll need to be bargain hunting and patient and very disciplined in getting certain stuff without going over.
Don't forget tools to put it together (cheap to put lower components together, less cheaper to put upper components together), unless you got a bench vice and torque wench and a bunch of other stuff already or just plan to buy an assembled upper anyways.
Don't forget cleaning supplies.

DISGUSTING

SKS isn't a budget gun anymore. Bottom barrel ARs are $500 now, cheaper if you go used or build your own (if you know what you're doing).

Buy a Gay-Are-15. They are the cheapest and most abundant rifles in the US firearms market. That means shit loads of options. They rifles typically have excellent reliability.

You just push a barrel into the upper assuming you lube it up
Don't even need a vice
Have a friend hold the stock to their shoulder and brace against the wall and push

R-karbid is not just a cheap carrier, these guys use original cordura and velcro, shit's quality.

Palmetto State Armory upper and the lower of your choice, like an anderson arms or again, PSA.

As for a carrier, if you are not getting plates, start off with a battle belt. Get a holster and mag pouches, and first aid kit on your belt first, then when you have funds, get a plate carrier with plates.
Gonna get a lot of hate for this one, but get a Hi-point Carbine and a decent holo sight.

A shotgun is a good home defense weapon. Pump or semi. Most are within your budget, too.

Agreed on the AR. Now is the time to get into the game. Picked mine up with a $400 trade investment... and the barrel costs $300 on it's own.
Just be sure you educate yourself so you know what you're buying/trading.
$400 right now can get you a very functional AR. If it is overgassed, just throw in a heavier buffer before using hotter 5.56, or stick to the weaker loads and .223.
Try to stick to milspec, and that probably won't be such an issue.
