-Uses AR-15/M16 magazines. Very convenient
-Stock folds which saves alot of space.
-Foregrip folds down to function as a bipod! Pretty innovative!
-integrated optics rail on top of the reciever. Mount a scope or a red dot sight.
-extra m16 mag storage space in the stock. useful.

Forget the $500 AR's, most are junk. The Olympic Arms "Plinker" costs about $550-$650. While its a decent gun, it doesnt have an optics rail and is heavier than the Kel-tech. If you want a good AR, then a basic RockRiver Arms or Olympic runs about $800.

The ergonomics of the AR-15 are top notch, and it's infinitely configurable.
Going the parts kits can be real easy if, for example, you buy a assembled lower and an assembled upper, or pretty tricky if you are assembling everything from parts, especially if it's your first time doing it. While it's a valuable experience, I think for my first AR I'd just buy a stock one, or buy an already assembled upper and a lower.

BTW, what exactly is a 4 MOA gun?
