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.

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.

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

Amateur.

I carry a DD Mk 18 on the job. Like it a lot.

In my experience, the best AR is the reliable one that hits what you are aiming at.

I went with the Armalite Eagle-15. Basic, entry-level carbine for $599. I was sold on the .223 Wylde chambering which optimizes it for both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO.

After years and years of saying, "Someday", I finally bought my AR. I went with the basic Diamondback model, since it could be had for under $600. I've since put a little over $100 in furniture on it, from hard sites to a bipod and a laser site.

There are people out there who actually believe the more they pay, the better they are. I suppose that remains to be seen. Far as I'm concerned, those types can spend their cash however they want, and if they look at it as a status symbol, whatever. I'm gonna have a good time with mine, and I'll have some pocket change left over.

I entered the world of evil black guns with an off-the-shelf Colt LE6920 with all the evil features. Since then, I’ve only built my own (uppers and lowers) from quality parts. You can spend as much, or as little as you want and still have a reliable weapon.

The first truck is White. White is now Volvo. Volvo trucks are good because the 6 last White Truck employees are involved.

I have a Beretta because Taurus is garbage.

My AR is a Colt 6920. It’s not competition-quality. It doesn’t have a buttery trigger. But it’s a real AR15.

Sig M400. My wife loves it. I watch myself a lot more after buying it for her.
