AR-15 prices are at record lows and ammo is available too.
But you snooze, you may loose.
Thanks! I will check into that. I wanted an M14 but they are out of budget. I see some criticisms of them too, although I heard a lot of praise for them from some vets. Ammo would be more problematical too. Eventually.
My brother didn’t want an AR or AK until Sandy Hook then decided he must have an AR. I tried to tell him now is not the time to buy but to no avail. He kept asking me to get him a good deal. Well hell there were none to be had in that time frame. He ended up buying an AR for $1300. Now they are going for $600-$800 range in my neck of the woods. Strangely AK prices have dropped some but not like AR prices.
I personally prefer the AK myself, I think it fires a better round and is a sturdy, reliable platform. If I want to shoot something at 600 yards I will use my scoped hunting rifle. I have suggested he consider a high capacity handgun but again he won’t hear of parting with a dollar. When they want to ban those he will want a Glock 17 for $400...
