Why I'm over Ar15s and all the hype.

[DinkyDau]

Hayata got the garand area covered too probably my favorite rifle. I think my expirence ar was just a fluke thing. I usually work in cycles I'll probably get back at it one of these days.

Beware of the Soap Man!! He has that ability to sway!

I carried an M1 Garand until I went to Germany in 63, then they issued us M14's, heavy as hell but powerful, Nam in 67 as Platoon Sergeant got the XM177, a little more reliable than the rifle length M16, but still prone to jams. Still love the old Garands, Just something about 8 BOOMS and a "ping"

AR's have always been a bit boring to me, but they are fun to shoot and every good American patriot should own at least one, and they are good rifles.

I never wanted a AR until you couldn't get one. I got my first AR 3 years ago. Got to admit something about hitting the target every time is very appealing. Not my favorite but nice to have just in case.

I had an ar15 when I was in high school like most people I decked it out and threw as much stuff on it as I could. Yeah I shot it a bunch but overall it never really impressed me and after dealing with army M16s I got rid of it I was over the platform and all the hype it had. It's no doubt a good and accurate rifle but like a baker around bread we spent so much time together I was done. Anyone else had some similar expirence?

No, all weapons are tools to me and if you take care of your tools they will take care of you. I never put a bunch of shyt on a AR platform. I keep them simple and lightweight. I did have a m4 fail me once but it was user error and I should have been cleaning the dust off my brass. I have not lost my interest in the platform. It is just another useful tool to me.

Stop your affairs with weapons and start seeing them for what they are. Software > hardware.

I wished they put better stocks on the AR's, it's hard to beat an Enemy to death with that cheap plastic, but, ah, to butt stroke with a Garand.
