He references a lot of credence he gives to NuttinFancy about ARs.....IMO, that’s a tell to me.

Rock River!!
Built a couple with Delton parts.
But for Big Bang, drag out the M1A, or the fav the M1 Garand.

Who says that you are limited to just one brand? The more, the merrier!

Am I gonna buy an AR?
No.
But I’ve always wanted an M14, as it was my service rifle.
So I am considering a Springfield M1A. Problem is there are more than one models out there which makes it difficult. All I want is one that resembles what I had in the Army. Just a basic military wood stock grade weapon.

There’s no such thing as a “wrong” AR15

I have an inexpensive model - a High Standard in .223. It has no options, no fancy attachments. I paid
considerably less than $500 for it about 10 years ago.
It is very reliable and accurate (at least out to 200 yards, which is as far as I can see with open sights). I use composite Magpul magazines in it, and It has never jammed or failed to feed.
I have no experience with "high-end" ARs, but I definitely got my money's worth with my "cheap" High Standard.
For my next one, I'm thinking about building my own starting with an 80% lower - just for the fun and the experience.

Wyndom HBC for around $900 is hard to beat.

AK47. The bad guys got ‘em. They must know something.

I’m thinking about getting an M1. If you could only keep one of yours, would it be the M1A or the Garland.

The wrong AR-15? No such thing in my book.
I'm in Massachusetts...so the "wrong" AR-15 means it's illegal.

All depends on whether you plan on going into combat or not.

Once had a chance to buy a couple M1s with select fire option for $200 per. Always figured it wasn’t worth prison time, but woulda, shoulda, coulda...

If I could only keep one it would be the Garand. I’ve got a lifetime supply of brass, and as long as bullets and primers and powder can be found it’s the one. A tack driver. Not a .22 BB gun either.

He definitely bought the wrong one. He should give me that one and go buy the right one ASAP.
