When I got heavily back into firearms I went into foreign rifles. Believe it or not I don’t have an AR at all. I think I would like the new gas operated ones more than the older models. I never liked the “sprong!” when I fired them.
Still they are a great value in rifles...
They are an extremely accurate platform.
Get one now, while they are relatively cheap.
As a collector type, I also enjoy the foreign battlefield rifles.
