Why I'm over Ar15s and all the hype.

[palmettomoon]

I have 15 ARs and rarely ever shoot any of them except a Colt Blue Label and a newer Colt Lightweight LE Carbine. I love that carbine. Lightweight, no gee gaws, very accurate with 77 grain HPs and I can carry a USDA Regulation Shyteload of ammunition if I need to hump it somewhere. I drew my first one in 1983 and I will never get tired of it. I shoot wood and steel .30 caliber rifles for fun and romance. I practice with the 5.56 AR 15 for emergencies.

But AKs are mo better...

After I retired I didn't think I'd buy one I had a Mini-14 as a semi auto but as years progressed and I bought more US Service rifles from WWI-WWII I kind of thought I should get an AR.

I bought a cheap Carbon 15 Bushmaster because I wasn't going to be an operator. Heard they could melt down if they were shot too much, had to get an adaptor to put a front BUIS on it because I'm old school and optics fail.

Decided to upgrade so I traded a spare Garand for a Colt LE6920, loved it. Bought a Colt 6721 because my son wanted an AR.

Keep a cheap $350 AR in the trunk New frontier lower and PSA upper just in case.

I never had anything against the m16s I've shot or handled, but my bushmaster left some to be desired. You can stick a lot on one it's like a lego kit. If I do get another I'd either build it this time or look into a colt or a Daniel defense.

I wasn't aware that there was any 'hype' on the AR platform...it's been around a little while now.

It's all about the carnal knowledge

Personally I'm happy with the AR platform.

I can say it does get a little old hitting the same gong over and over and over... but that's the point right? Train constantly using tools you own.

Boy stop, like saying once you slept with one girl, you've slept with all of them and are done
