What's the fascination with AR's?

oh no, he di-'int!!!!

I think building one was one of the most satisfying experiences I've had with firearms yet.......it's great fun. It's simple and can be done on a budget. No special tools are required to build the lower receiver and you have several caliber uppers you can choose from. Lets not forget you also have about 20 different lower receviers to choose from. You can start with a stripped lower for about $120ish and then build it from there. It's easiest to build a lower and buy a completed upper. Try it, you'll be hooked!!

They are a lot of rifle for the money. Kind of like 1911s where the design issues have mostly been worked out and having common parts available from many manufacturers. You can go cheap or expensive, i.e. you have choices. And they shoot well with little maintenance required. Cheap ammo too.

If you are buying one, Id recommend you first identify what you want to do with it. There are many competitions where the AR is capable of participating.

I just went "old school" on my last purchase...

I know I can get back to the 21st century if I need to in a hurry... :lol:

Oh yes you did!

I've been talking to a co-worker of mine and he's into all the CMP matches and all that...

He told me that he's looking into building an AR that can use the .50 Beowolf upper...Now, if that doesn't require a special lower assembly, then that kind of intrigued me somewhat...

That may be in Steve's future sometime down the road...

The .50 Beowulf upper fits right on a standard AR lower. It even uses standard 30 round AR magazines, but only holds 10 rounds.

I am told it recoils about like a 20 guage. :fire

In certain situations, I would be very concerned about the guy who was not afraid to be seen or heard...

i.e. Baron von Riechhoffen, The "Red Baron"

"Oddball" (Kelly's Heroes), "We like to play music "real loud" when we go into battle...It kinda...Calms us down..."

"All the tanks we come up against are always bigger and better than ours...So all we can hope to do is "scare them"..."

etc etc etc... ;-)

Several of these could have played a prominent role in txinvestigator's "tacticool" tale. :grin:
